One of my beloved spots to bring friends or family with for yakitori, drinks, or quick bites. Wonderful atmosphere and amazing staff and servers. Haven’t been in about a year, but the servers were still kind & friendly. Brought family to this spot and the staff were accommodating & patient with our group.
They have table seatings and tatami mat seatings. They offer yakitori sets and offer a wide selection of cut rolls, hand rolls, nigiri, and sashimi. They also have onigiri! Amazing selection of sake, shochu, chuhai and other drinks.
Highly recommend coming here with friends or even coworkers if you’ve never been. The style of dining is a great and casual way to bond and become even closer.

I come here often. The service is great and the atmosphere is very Japanese themed. I absolutely love getting the avocado rolls. It's a little pricey but their food tastes fresh. I also love soba so if you are a soba fan, you should get the zaru soba. It didn't fill me up all the way but it gave me space for more avocado rolls. Hope this helps!

Came here with my friends today and was very impressed with the atmosphere and ambiance of the place. The food was average and came during happy hour so some items were about 20% off. Service was pretty good but sometimes a little slow.

Great atmosphere, and the staff was very friendly. It's a great place to have a get together with a group of friends. I love that they freezes the beer mugs.

Good Izakaya in North Orange County. They offer the traditional meat/vegetables on a skewer, sushi and sashimi. We came during happy hour (before 6pm) so there were a few things that were “discounted.” Also alcohol was -20% off during happy hour. Overall a good experience at this restaurant.

Food was good, service was very bad. I'm sure they were shots staffed but our server took our order and brought the bill never came back- but made sure to charge us 20% gratuity

I usually come here once in a blue moon to have a ridiculous feast! I pretty much order everything off the main menu, yakitori menu and happy hour menu. Service is exceptional too! I always have such an amazing dining experience! Best restaurant in all of Fullerton!
I’ve been to many izakaya places, but this one is by far my favorite. The food is consistent, and if you’re looking for healthy meal, this is the place to go. They offer an impressive sake selection and a wide range of vegetarian options. As for the ambiance, you’ll feel you’re in Japan without leaving town. Highly recommend!

Absolutely terrible sushi (dry, flavorless and smelly), but excellent izakaya and cooked foods. Stay away from the raw stuff here, it's clearly not a sushi restaurant but have sushi offerings to appeal to a larger customer base. Great for larger groups and finger foods.
Edit: year 2025 and quality of food went down, service is far worse, prices went up, and now they are closed Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Really? You can tell operations are going downhill and it's sad to see another failed iteration of this restaurant. I only hope the next owner will bring this restaurant back to its former glory.

Charge 3% if you use credit cards, use that as for tips, but food is good 👍.

Came by based on the number of reviews, but was informed mid way that they would be closing earlier and their last call would be sooner.
We ordered a dish that was out of stock and had to change our order, but when the check came, they still charged us for the dish.
The food is okay, but maybe it's just inflation but the pricing felt a bit high. All in all it was a bit of a disappointment not sure I'd recommend the place until I try it again if there was a special going on. Oh there's also a surcharge for using a credit card.

Be careful if you want to order sashimi or nigiri, the fish is not very fresh. The whole squid we ordered had some slimy-like texture in it, we didn’t know if it was fresh. The beef and chicken breast grills are unseasoned and tasteless, we had to dip them with soy sauce to make it taste better. The tables are sticky but the staffs say it’s because of the spray used to clean it. We had barely served by anyone tonight, nobody came to replace our plates, take away the empty dish, nor add more water.
