I’ve tried lamb chops at several Western restaurants, but this was my first time having them grilled over Binchotan charcoal. It was honestly a pleasant surprise. The smoky flavor made a huge difference. They also serve a wide variety of grilled skewers, with many options priced at just 20,000 VND each. Great food at a very reasonable price.
It’s been a long time since I last visited the restaurant to enjoy the Hakata-style beef offal hot pot ( Motsu Nabe ) and charcoal grilled lamb chop. Although the yakitori dishes are also very delicious, I hope the restaurant will continue to offer these two dishes on a regular basis.
What a fantastic dining experience! The grilled dishes are flavorful and perfectly cooked, and the seasonal menu keeps things exciting with unique options throughout the year. The prices are incredibly reasonable, offering excellent value for money. The cozy atmosphere, friendly service, and delicious food make this a great spot for a casual meal or a fun night out with friends. Highly recommended for anyone looking for great food and a memorable experience!
I had a wonderful experience as a solo traveler and diner at this Izakaya & Bar establishment. The staff including Ha and Emily were friendly and attentive. Thanks!
The third Vietnam venture by Japan's Royal Host group. The restaurant offers a warm, "Japanese modern" atmosphere with semi-private table seating that is perfect for private conversation. What truly sets this place apart is the exceptional service. The staff are attentive and Japanese-speaking, providing a high level of hospitality that feels reassuringly familiar and professional. The pricing is affordable and simple: 20,000 VND for all charcoal-grilled skewers, 50,000 VND for drinks (including Sapporo draft), and 100,000 VND for most izakaya sides. While the food—such as the yakitori served with yuzu kosho, the crispy Karaage, and the sweet dashimaki egg with mentaiko—may not be "gourmet" level and portions are modest, the quality is "reasonably delicious" and offers value for the price. If you are looking for a casual dining spot with reliable Japanese quality, great service, and budget-friendly prices, this is an excellent choice.
