    Great fried oysters, soft shelled crabs, and salmon! My husband loves the Chicken ramen dinner and the shrimp bento boxes. And the happy hour is back! Bring on the hot sake! Keep up the good work!

    It is one of those days where I am craving some nice cold Sapporo on draft with a nice cold mug. Yes it is still on happy hour until 530 on weekdays. Its 3.50. Its light and fresh and quench the thirst. . Cold sake for 3.50 during happy hour as well. The cold sake was surprisingly smooth and a little sweet. It was easy to drink and it was good. . Had the chirashi which was affordable for 17.95. But it was made with no love. The presentation was missing some wow factor and garnish. It was meh and plain presentation. It didn't give me the wow factor when place down on the table. The fish was fresh however there was a couple pieces of the fish at the end piece which didn't look good to be presented. I don't think I will order this again. . Overall the service is always great here. I like their house spicy ramen which is a good portion and has so much veggies and i love it. Sushi here like California roll is one of my favorites too. Hope this review helps. Thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day. Follow me for more.

    The staff here are extremely friendly and the food is delicious! They automatically give you a small complementary sesame cucumber salad to share. The authentic Japanese cream soda was delicious and the menu is super extensive. The house ramen tasted delicious as well as the stuffed jalapeño appetizer. To get full it would probably be about 25-30 bucks per person (drink, appetizer, meal). It was a bit dim in the restaurant and definitely not as "new" of a feel but authentic nonetheless :)

    This place was small yet unique. The sushi was amazing. The udon noodle soup was delicious! I went with my aunt and a friend of my aunt's. It was a pretty great day.
