Me and my fiancé are regulars at this bar. There’s certain nights we like to go because of the staff that are working. Typically I say 5 stars but we went out lastnight 9/30/25 just to grab a bite to eat and have a few drinks and it was the worst service I’ve ever had from there would rank it as 2 stars. We ordered 2 shots which were made completely wrong and since it is my go to shot I could tell just from the color that they did not make it right. We didn’t even drink them because they were not good. My fiance ordered a soda and they gave her diet. We ordered 2 things off the menu and before the 2 order even reached our table we were ready to leave. There was 3 employees last night and only 1 out of the 3 actually gave good service even though she was not the one that waited on us and had no idea what we ordered she made sure we had everything we needed while the other 2 employees stood outside and had conversation. Typically we spend $100 if not more when we come out but lastnight it was under $50. After that experience it has been decided that we are only going to attend when certain staff are working.
Pinky, Quincy and 2 others are great employees they always make sure we have everything we need and always show great service. They know how to keep it professional but still make sure everyone is enjoying themselves.
I’m still going to give a 5 star review but i also wanted to just give insight about my experience lastnight. I will stick to only going on the weekends.

Easy parking in private lot or metered street parking on Sheridan.
Back Alley Cafe and Omakase by Bobae are inside this one restaurant
Sushi is Monday and Tuesday are the regular menu
Wednesday are handroll menu only
The bae roll was amazing along with the tuna poke
Papaya salad + fried rice and NY steak are all amazing chef Phil keeps crushing it
friendly staff and service with a smile and always love supporting small family local businesses.
Clean small ambience since it shares with another amazing business.

My friend and I went there on a Monday night and most of the food menu was not available. We manage to order garlic fries (delicious), kimchi fried rice (good), and crispy pork belly (a little overcooked), beer, and soju ($20). We had fun but not worth the price!

We went for celebration of new year with a bunch of friends who love Sushi. The Sushi chef “Bobae” was a very talented young lady n over known her since she was working at Bozu Sushi Restaurant. As soon as I knew she got an independent I wanted to come n see her and so I convinced my friends too. The place itself are kind of old bar atmosphere but oh my gosh the foods are all so great we really enjoyed them all! We are already planning on coming back to her again!

Out of almost everything on the menu! Saturday night and that have almost nothing available on the food menu. We arrived at 6:30 PM. Street parking still available on King St. We came for karaoke and food. They were out of karaage chicken, chicken wings, rib eye, pork chop, rib eye, and kim chee. We had to settle for garlic fried rice and kalua pork nachos. The fried rice is sticky, reminds me of school cafeteria. The nachos were made with that nacho cheese, stale chips, and minimal amount of kalua pork. Since they were out of every protein except mandoo, I asked if we could bring in outside food. Girl checked to see if that was ok and now they had rib eye. Overall, food was meh. Karaoke is $1 per song. Only the Korean machine was working in our room, so we couldn’t get the artist’s voice to play. Made for some off pitch singing at first. Also, bring cash because the bill is higher if you want to pay by credit card.

Previously just a bar and karaoke type establishment, Chef Jeff (from Tokkuri Tei, Sushi Maruyama, etc.) has been adding upper scale sashimi type dishes to the menu. Interesting juxtaposition getting these types of dishes right along side your dive bar beers and shots.

Chad… nothing more needs to be said. The service is amazing and the food is to die for. A hole in the wall that feels like a resort experience.

Both the crab-fried rice and garlic fries were outstanding dishes that I had when I was there. Karaoke is also available, although we didn’t use it. This restaurant’s staff was polite and well-versed on the menu items. Just be aware that parking is limited, so you may want to arrive early.
