Low lit bar/restaurant serving Japanese small plates. Go early on the weekend to avoid disappointment. You eat at tables in the back, food is excellent and as the evening progresses, tables are cleared and people start dancing. Sound quality is incredible and the old speakers are a joy to look at. They sometimes get in top DJs at late notice.
