Reviews

This is a cute little cozy Japanese restaurant tucked away on Convoy Street.
Food is delicious and authentic.
We came here on a weekday and had a 10-15 minutes wait, but it was so worth it.
We were seated fairly quickly and the staff was attentive.
Staff was also busy taking sake shot offered by the customers- a recognized way to show gratitude to your server/bartender instead of tipping.
It was my first time witnessing it and I loved it.
Food was delicious.
Highly recommend chirashi don and okonomiyaki! Will definitely come again!

The seafood is absolutely fresh!!!! I ordered the Chirashi bowl; the sashimi is so fresh!!!!Loved the side dishes in the chirashi bowl.
The table had chicken karaage (yummy), 1 of the popular appetizers to get, and sashimi.
The clam sashimi is absolutely fresh as well as the yellowtail and salmon!!!! Will definitely come back when I visit.
The service is great as well.

Great Authentic Japanese food. I love tako wasabi and grilled mackerel here so much.
First time order miso salmon it is tasty. The male waiter who works on Sunday is nicer than old ladies waitresses
