Well deserving of their Michelin ⭐️, this place excels in their food and service. They’re known for eel, which is the only entree on the menu. A few other side dishes are available to choose from, with the egg omelette and the chicken skewers being my favorite. A liver soup was recommended by the waitress, but it was really hot outside and I couldn’t handle hot soup. We arrived a few minutes before 10AM on a Saturday morning, and were the 7th in line. At 10AM, one of their staff came out and took down our party size and name, and then she let us inside the courtyard and took our order. It was 90+ that day, and the heat was unbearable, but luckily they have shaded seatings where we waited until they opened. Around 10:32AM, they placed a sign outside the front stating they were done accepting guests. I counted around 30ish people. The door opened at 11:30AM, and they let in a round of 15 people. The second round started about an hour later, or however quickly the food was served and the guests would eat. I suggest coming at 10AM and seating during the first round. The people who came 10 minutes after we did had to wait for the second round. The drinks and appetizers arrived shortly after seating. A short moment later, the omelette and skewers were served, and they were delicious. The eel with rice was the best I’ve ever eaten. If not for the bones, it wouldn’t even need chewing. I highly recommend the eel here, it was so good. The staff were friendly, and they spoke a little English, enough for us to order the menu and ask for directions to the restroom. Important points to note, this place is cash only. You’ll have to remove your shoes upon entering, so leave your holey socks at home.

Obana unagi We arrived 15.06 for lunch and there were 2 more people before us and by the 15.30 they opened the courtyard (half an hour before start 9 more people arrived at courtyard. The ordering process was swift she took our orders near 15.35 when it was 16.00 5 more people came and went in with the first guy infront of us, it was rude but i understand they were on some business dinner. By 17.00 our dinner was arrived. We ordered large and medium Unajyu. It was delicious, Eel was melting in your mouth with such delicacy, ı only wish the eel was more salty and saucy to allow rice to soak all the juice, but this was i can taste the eel better i think, the traditional atmosphere of the place is amazing, the overall even though it was kinda expensive this was an experience we shall savour. (Sorry my native language isn’t English, i tried my best to reflect my experience).

A quit and beautiful transitional Japanese grilled eel restaurant. Usually people need to be there wait online before the restaurant open otherwise you won’t be get in. Food was delicious. Service was great( take time to cook ) we will definitely go back sometime.

Came for lunch, not disappointed. The eel is extremely tender, rich in eel flavor, light in sauce, neither too salty nor too sweet. You can absolutely taste the rich fatty flavor of the eel and the fragrance of rice. Love the eel liver soup as well. Had 久保田　純米大吟醸 with the eel. Would come again. The only downside is it seems the English menu has a higher price than the Japanese menu.

Great Unagi Don, probably one of the best I've had. The unagi is extremely rich, fatty and creamy. Seasoning is good too, though I'd say a little weak for those with stronger pallette. What also sets this place apart is the level of service, the staff are just so nice and welcoming and the place will make you feel like home. You do have to pay a premium to eat here though. Can be around 10,000yen per person for an Unagi don. Overall 8.5/10, would return
