came here for their $38 sashimi omakase. which was really good and fresh. great for the price for the selection we received & portions. sashimi came with a side of sushi rice. we also got the truffle ramen which I though was okay but my daughter loved it. Also got the snow white roll which I though was pretty good also.

We like this place. They don't have the best timing on food delivery. But their beef is good and a good medium rare to rare with good flavor and a good char.

Staff seated us right away — great start.
We came here because a vlogger recommended their Chirashi. Should’ve checked Yelp first though, because after reading the reviews, it lined up exactly with our experience.
We ordered the Chirashi, and that was the highlight. The sashimi melts in your mouth, laid over perfectly seasoned sushi rice. For $21? Totally worth it.
The ramen, however, was oily and lacked flavor. Disappointing, especially since I assumed it would be a specialty. The beef teriyaki was dry and needed more seasoning. Overall, the hot dishes didn’t deliver.
Also, something I couldn’t unsee: servers wearing gloves while handling food, then touching cleaning rags and other surfaces — all without changing gloves. Gloves are not a substitute for handwashing, and seeing that really took away from the dining experience.
Bottom line:
✅ Get the Chirashi
🚫 Skip the ramen and beef
⚠️ Hygiene practices need improvement

Not sure what is up with the 4 star reviews. First time here and definitely my last.
Honestly never even knew this place existed until my friend had wanted to come.
Customer service here is terrible. Both the cocky Asian man and woman server.
When we were ordering, he had the audacity to come back and yell “are you ready or not, yes or no” when i clearly had little kids with me. I replied yes and he again said yes or no….
And what is up with these dim wits. When your orders come, they just shove it to you over your entire party and expects you to grab it and quickly find a place to set them down whilst they get upset. Then why am I tipping these rude people, and they charge an automatic 18%, with slow service!

I have never written a public review for a restaurant before but the ramen here is absolutely incredible. Much better than Japan town in SF. I only wish more of this store is around. Parking is better than Japan town, flavor is incredible. Highly recommend!!
Truffle Ramen was really good, but half way thru, it was just getting too much. Very tasty and they used the really thin noodles, which i like.
Had to try this location. Very hard to find parking though. We ordered: Tori Karage and Deep Fried assorted tempura to share. I ordered Unagi Don. Their chicken karage was good, but it’s not twice fried like honey likes it but yet not bad he said. My favorite was the Unagi Don. They give you a lot of unagi slices and on top of it is avocado and seaweed salad on the side. I liked it . It’s very different from other restaurant. I would definitely come back but this time I would probably try their ramen.
I had a diarrhea after having dinner there.
Plates had clear dirt on them. I saw the waitress's gloves touched the leftover food and used napkins when cleaning up the table. Then she was serving food with the same dirty gloves without changing them.
Sashimi cut was very small. Always understaffed. Definitely not worth the money and time.
I think we might be lucky today. We walked in without waiting. Decided to try their sushi rolls this time. Fishes were fresh. Service was good. We will come back again.

We decided to give this place a try since we were nearby. Upon arrival it was packed and we wrote down our name on the waitlist, time flew by quick and we were seated. They offer much more than ramen and the food comes out pretty quick. Service was great and I’ll definitely be back!

Ordered the fourth ramen. salty. Pork chai. Okay then I'd like some soup. After one sip, the soup tasted soy sauce and salty. The music in the store was all vulgar Chinese songs and I felt very uncomfortable. If you like soy sauce, go to his place. Baby, I don’t dare to go there again.
