Japanese Brasserie on St. Laurent?

Drove by last night and noticed a newish place on St. Laurent, 2 doors below Pine (old Pistol location). Sign is apparently in Japanese, but noticed "Japanese Brasserie" above the door and it looked packed. Another Kazu-type resto? Anyone been?

I've eaten there a couple times and really enjoyed it. They do small dishes, so it's great if you just want something light. They do nice japanese chicken wings, and I enjoyed their green tea spare ribs. I always go for edamame, although it's hard to mess that up.
Their beer is fine. Nothing special. But overall definately a nice casual experience

Big in Japan. "Brasserie" is pushing it. It's been discussed on the board and gets a big meh from just about everyone, including me. Kazu is countless quantum leaps better.
