I can't drink alcohol, so I ordered a lemon squash, and it was the perfect choice! 👍 It had real fruit in it, and it was the best lemon squash I've ever had! 🍋 The glass was also thin, which made it taste even better! The beef tongue was so tender, it made me feel happy! 😊 All the food was delicious.

I ordered the ginger pork set, chicken nanban set, and beef tongue sashimi. The prices were a bit high. It was good that the food came out quickly despite the crowd, but the meat in the set meals seemed pre-made and wasn't hot. The miso soup was also cold. The cabbage wasn't very tasty either. It was disappointing... The taste was just average.

I visited this restaurant while running errands at LaLaport. It was around 5 PM and there was no wait, so I was able to get a table right away. The menu had so many delicious-looking options that I had a hard time deciding what to order. I ended up ordering about six dishes, focusing on the meat selections. Everything I ordered was delicious, but the Wagyu beef yukke, the beef tongue sashimi, and the Wagyu beef tataki were particularly good. The food came out quickly, and the recommended sake was also delicious. The staff was very friendly. I think this restaurant is great for both solo diners and groups. I will definitely come back again if I have the chance.

I had business at Toyosu Big Center and decided to try Sinatra because it was nearby. It was packed! 💕 First, I had a beer 🍺, followed by a seasonal fruit sour. It was delicious 😋. For food, I had sashimi, beef tongue, clams, egg omelet, eggplant 🍆 salad, and a delicious toro rice bowl. I highly recommend it. There are many reservations, so you might not be able to get in without one. I recommend making a reservation 😊.

I visited this restaurant for lunch on a weekday, Friday, April 7, 2023. It's located inside LaLaport. I arrived around 11:30 AM and waited about 7 minutes for a table. The waitresses were friendly and efficient, providing a lively and energetic service. As it's an izakaya (Japanese pub), the service overall had a quick and efficient feel. I ordered the beef tendon curry for ¥980 and got a free large portion of rice. The curry had a mild and rich flavor. The tender beef tendon was nicely shredded and the ratio of meat to curry was just right. It was definitely delicious. I was a bit hesitant about the combination of curry and pork miso soup, but the mild curry made it a surprisingly good match. There was no chili powder on the table, but they brought some when I asked. The saba (mackerel) and karaage (deep-fried chicken) that other customers ordered looked delicious. I'll definitely try those next time. The Toyosu Market Food Hall next door was very popular and had a long queue, but if you don't want to wait, this restaurant is a good alternative. I returned for lunch on a weekday again on May 12, 2023. It was still busy around 11:30 AM, but I was able to get a table without waiting. This time, I had the daily grilled fish set for ¥980. The fish of the day was saba (mackerel). It was a simple but well-prepared dish, just plain delicious. It felt like a classic grilled saba set. Sometimes, just a simple, tasty meal is all you need. Next time, I'll try the karaage. On June 28, 2023, I visited for lunch again. This time, I had the young chicken karaage set for ¥980. The karaage had a thin batter and a straightforward flavor. It was quite good and delicious. Considering the location, the price was reasonable. Overall, it was another simple but tasty meal.
