IKEBUKURO: Standing Bar Kojima... Japanese-English-Tagalog its all good here~

I've had my eye on this respectably ranked standing bar Kojima (Small Island)  in Ikebukuro and finally had a chance to go~.

Nearly all of the food and drink are 300yen... pay as you order.

The two ladies here first spoke to me in Japanese then later switched to English.  One was a 23 year old Filipina and the chef/boss was a kind Filipina in her 50's.  Super friendly...

Recommended dish... spicy Thai stir fry with pork and bamboo.

This was great... super mochi-mochi almost hane-tsuki (winged) gyoza.

Lots of snacks...

Imo-Jochu 300yen.

Restroom was still very old skool..

Chef prepares food in a tiny kitchen.

Spicy egg... another recommendation from the chef.

Overall its a very friendly standing bar izakaya... I may be back.
