8.2
A DIY skewer room built for late-night momentum: grab what you want, grill at the table, and keep ordering in small, fast cycles. The appeal is the mix-and-match variety—wagyu cuts, seafood, and vegetables—plus a casual price-per-skewer format that makes it easy to eat well without a big check.

Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking is limited and competitive; nearby paid garages are the most reliable option, especially after 6pm.
Dress code: Casual and practical—jeans and comfortable tops are normal; wear clothes you don’t mind picking up light grill aromas.
Noise level: Moderate to lively—easy to talk within your group, but not a quiet conversation room.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes late night without a reservation, shorter if you arrive earlier in the evening.
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—primarily a late-night spot.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—vegetable skewers, mushrooms, tofu, and cold noodle options work well.
Vegan options: Limited—mostly vegetable skewers and noodles; sauces may vary, so ask before grilling.
Gluten-free options: Possible with careful ordering—plain meats and vegetables are safe, but some marinades and sauces may contain gluten.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a casual or adventurous first date—the interactive grilling is fun but can be distracting if you want focused conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, especially late night, but be prepared to wait on weekends; smaller groups turn over faster.
Is it kid-friendly? Best for older kids or teens—open grills and DIY cooking make it less suitable for very young children.
Best For
Better for: Late-night energy, interactive eating, and flexible ordering where you can keep adding skewers as you go.
Skip if: You want a quiet, service-driven meal or don’t want to cook your own food—traditional BBQ or sit-down kitchens will suit you better.
