Lovely spot for dates and small groups, with tablet menus, broad selection of Western / Japanese drinks and foods. Definitely a great drinking and bar food spot to drop as part of the Sydney Nightlife. Decor and ambience well fitting with smooth jazz and care placed in creating a great environment for dining

Not the biggest fan of the $17 alcoholic OJ and the food was quite expensive for the portion. Staff were nice and friendly.

A bit pricy for its small portion but the food and service are definitely above average. Highly recommend to people who are looking for quality Japanese food and chill.

Oh wow this place has a strong marketing team. Everything is put together perfectly. This is a very themed izakaya. It's an upstairs affair in the middle of Chinatown. The entrance area is a little bit dingy and there's no reception at all. You just kind of wander into the main restaurant past the barrier with the sterilisers. A lot of Bruce Lee references make it a theme. Everything is painted even the ceiling. A Japanese pub decorated with Bruce Lee, Chinese writing on the wall etc. I guess it's aimed at Chinese tour groups. You can see the management is Chinese. They have a computer system
