These guys are really doing it right (and have a burgeoning restaurant group to prove it). First had a chance to try their food in SF when Matt Abergel popped up at Rintaro, but so glad I could try the full experience here. Fun space, great vibe, creative (ostensibly chicken-focused) izakaya menu, fantastic drinks (including an enviable Japanese whisky selection). Definitely worth a visit, and a wait.
