A bona fide hole in the wall restaurant. It is pretty hard to come across but the inside is so cute. I went on a weekend and it was empty, so the service was pretty fast, though the service hours are a little short. I had the tonkotsu ramen and was impressed with the serving size. This is the first place I've had ramen that doesn't give you a single paper thin slice of pork belly for protein. It tasted pretty good and they were generous with toppings. My girlfriend had the sashimi rice bowl and she said it was pretty tasty as well. Definitely a great find for the prices they offer.

Love love love this place!! Not crowded at all when I went on a weekday. The handrolls took us by surprise and it's actually SOOO bomb as well as the uni pasta!! try the crab hand roll yummm. This place is fun casual and good food - all I could ask for

Food is good, variety options; the menu is very cute with drawing and descriptions of food. Service is okay, we were providing only with chopsticks when there were soup and rice bowls involved, had to ask for them. Quiet for a Saturday night when we stopped by to get food. The restaurant is easy to be missed when driving by since it's a separate building and isn't connected to any other plaza or other businesses.

We had craving for some Japanese Izakaya food, so we decided to check this place out because they had such a great reviews. When we enter the restaurant, the decoration wasn't very impressive. Low ceiling with some lights.. and basic tables.. But the first concern we had was they had only one server working, we had to wait a little to get attention from the server.. and the place was mostly empty. I think they had 3 tables filled in busy Sat prime time was very concerning. My gut told me to leave however, we decide to stay and try it out since we were there. Boy I regret it. These are the items that we ordered. Takoyaki 4/10 ( didn't have much flavor) Karaage 3/10 (little greasy) Salmon onion hand roll 2/10 (found some fish bones) Toro hand roll 1/10 (it was taste less tuna, not toro, when we brought concerned to our server, he brought samples of regular tuna and toro. They looked the same. I asked him to taste it to see if he noticed any difference and he said he doesn't like tuna. And I taste the regular tuna vs Toro that he brought to our table, it tastes very similar, except for the price point. Normally in a restaurant if you don't like certain things, they would take it back however, not this place.) oh well ... Yellow tail hand roll 5/10 Crab hand roll 6/10 Ramen 3/10 ( I love ramen and this taste like water down) Tokyo pasta 5/10 Overall foods were below average at best. Because they only had one server serving 3 to 4 tables, as he was bringing the dishes, he didn't take any empty dishes out, and our table was full of empty dishes. We were hungry, so in most cases, decent food would have taste great. But, I should've listened to my own gut and should've left. If you are a sushi lover, don't come here if you are Ramen lover, do not come here because you'll be disappointed.

My daughter and I loved it. Great gyoza: crispy, crunchy, tasty filling. Yummy spicy garlic edamame, which I'm usually not a fan. Awesome eel hand roll. (Nori a bit tough to tear) Fantastic tonkotsu broth! Depth of flavor and viscosity are 5 stars! Beautiful noodles too. Chashu was delicious but some parts a bit chewy. Thx!

Decided to go here for a quick bite and wanted to try something new, asked my waitress for a recommendation and she recommended the karage don which was a big hit for me! If you're looking for good food and service you don't have to look any further!

Came on Sunday night. The Ambiance of the restaurant is good. Our waitress Lauren was very nice, accommodating and had great recommendations. We ended up getting the Tokyo cream pasta, chasu don and a few different hand rolls. Everything came out in a timely manner and Lauren kept checking in on us to make sure we were doing ok. We will be back soon!

Absolutely terrible. I'm not sure how this place has decent review. Service is nonexistent, food is average at best, we didn't even finish our food that's how bad it was. No soy sauce for our hand rolls, when we asked for it, she brought over a small tray and we had to ask for wasabi, which was in a tiny package. Green tea that I ordered tasted like water and our water cups were sitting empty. Worst part of it all was that they decided to charge me extra tip! What a shady place! Make sure to keep and check your credit card receipt!
the tokyo cream pasta was really creamy and lots of seafood! rose rice cake is medium spicy level and the crunchy topping made it extra good:)

This place looks like it was remodeled, but it's very bright and nice inside. The food was great with friendly hard working staff!

I first came here when it opened and have visited a few times with colleagues from the same company. Recently, I noticed that the interior has been adorned with cute lighting, and the windows are beautifully twinkling. The food has become more organized compared to before, and the menu has gotten cuter. The taste has improved from the past, making me more satisfied. I plan to visit next time with my family. For the food, I recommend the miso ramen, unagi don, and the salmon snow onion hand roll.

This was my first visit with a friend last week. I had always been curious about this place, passing it every day on my way to work, and decided to stop by when I noticed there was parking available at the back. The weather was delightful that day, so we chose to sit on the patio, and a server promptly provided us with water and menus. Upon requesting menu recommendations, she mentioned that the pasta, ramen, and hand rolls were particularly popular. We ordered the Tokyo signature pasta, miso ramen (which the server specifically recommended and we thoroughly enjoyed), and two real crab spicy hand rolls. The pasta was a pleasantly spicy new take that I quite liked, especially with its generous seafood content. The ramen's broth was very satisfying, and the spicy sauce in the hand rolls was to my taste. The server advised eating the hand rolls immediately to appreciate the crispiness of the seaweed, which turned out to be great advice; the texture was notably enhanced when the seaweed was crisp. I'm definitely planning to return.
