Went there last week with a group of friends. Spent $350 per person for a group of 7 people. Not cheap, but this included 3 bottles of $2xx price sake. The atmosphere is appropriate for a yakitori joint -- dark wood, bare walls, quite dimly-lit. It is not smoky at all despite the food being grilled in front of you due to a good ventilation system. The staff is all female, as remarked by previous diners. They seem to have a fair number of regulars, judging by the neighbourhood-style friendliness

The staff is all female, as remarked by previous diners. They seem to have a fair number of regulars, judging by the neighbourhood-style friendliness which other guests were treated. Our group was new, but the staff were friendly and accommodating despite being busy. There was one group of Japanese businessmen next to us on that night, but overall the clientele seems like a good mix of local and Japanese.
Food-wise, it was all pretty good. We had the tsukune (chicken meat and cartilage minced into a sausage shape), negima (leek and chicken), yaki-gyoza, grilled piman (pepper) and a lot of other food -- I forgot exactly now (drank too much sake that night!)
The yaki-onigiri (grilled rice ball) was AMAZING. The caramelized soy sauce turned the exterior of the onigiri into a crispy brown, sweet treat --- it tasted like that wonderful crispy crust you get on the claypot rice or Korean dolsotbibimbap, but crispier, like rice cracker puff. At $20 each it was a fantastic bargain. You can get it plain, or with salmon, plum, eel, etc.
The grilled saba (makerel) was a little tough but still acceptable. I had expected it to be slightly more moist and yielding for such an oily fish. I think they overcooked this a little.
In general, this is a very good choice for Japanese food to go with sake or beer. It's not exactly cheap, but not exceedingly expensive either. If you go light on the sake, you'll probably emerge relatively unscathed.
