"I have missed going to this place even though I have been to Davis square a zillion times. Finally made it. We walked in at 6:30 pm on a Friday, thanks to our early timing that we were able to get seated even without reservation at the bar coz it filled up really fast with mostly people who had prior reservations. Our waitress took our order and right after that there was a small argument between the hostess and her that the hostess had promised the bar seat to another party, it was awkward coz we could hear all of it but thankfully ended in the next few minutes. So lesson learned is that make a reservation at this place. Food was freshly made and some of the items were excellent and others good. My favorite was the hot udon with tempura and even better the scallops hokkaiyaki. We ordered two skewers of chichek thigh and a pork belly , the sizes are pretty small but they were grilled to perfection so no complaints. Also had the torch toro maki which was pretty good but I have had better. Drinks were good too. I only have slight complaint that there were far few waiting staff as compared to the traffic in the izakaya , so felt a bit chaotic when trying to order. Otherwise it's a great place in Davis square for Japanese fare even though it is probably not run by Japanese people."
