Abhorrently rude service for no apparent reason. Went to dine-in with a client who ordered a bento box, I wanted to order the Aburi oshi for 2 servings with none of their bento sides. The lady literally told me no walked to their self serve fridge and handed me one serving told me to eat that. I asked if they could prepare fresh for me and they said no. So if you order their box with sides they will prepare fresh, if you want only aburi oshi you eat the day old from their fridge. Will never return and recommend our clients to other Japanese options on the street such as New Fuji proper customer service.

A nice cozy little spot for a meal. The wood furniture is great but can't say I didn't want some cushions for my chair.
Judging by the interior design and the utensils, you know you can't expect anything cheap- but the price is ok for this level of food as long as you recognize you aren't in a hole in the wall sushi place.
My set was decent with enough authentic appetizers. Although they do feel a bit more suitable for drinking instead of eating, things turned out fine. The ingredients are fresh and delicious. Their cashier counter also has a pastry aisle so maybe I'll get some souvenir next time.

Very impressive place for a brand new restaurant. Came here for a pre show dinner and it was the perfect meal. Prices were not cheap, but for the area and the amount of food, I thought it was rather reasonable.

We ordered:
Aburi Salmon Sushi Set ($26) - the salmon was torched very well. The sauce on the aburi sushi was super tasty, so no soy sauce was needed, nor any was provided, I think they know what they are doing and they do it well. The side dishes were perfect, very cute and compliments the meal.

Deluxe Chirashi Don Set ($29) - a great variety of fish on the perfect amount of rice. Also came with all the delicious side dishes as well.

For $3 more, there is a selection of juice and pop for the meal. We opted for the iced hojicha latte and the matcha latte, which was an extra $6.

Service was great. Super attentive. It's a smaller restaurant and they don't take resos, so either go early, or take your chances.

Newer place. Tried this out with my friends last weekend. Mostly good some sides were not my cup of tea but that's my problem.
Small restaurant so get there early.
Service was really good and attentive.

All four of us got the deluxe chirashi Don set.

It’s rare to find a restaurant in this area that offers such high quality, generous portions, and specialty is reasonable prices. The staff are warm and welcoming, which makes the dining experience very comfortable. Compared to nearby Japanese restaurants, the food here stands out with even better quality. Overall, the value for money is excellent — definitely worth a visit!
