Any place that has Gorillaz action figures on display gets a high praise in my book. Tasty food. Love their Udon, helpful staff, and good drinks.

Sushi wasn't fresh & it tasted quite digusting. After one bite of each different type of fish, I had to knock back some sake to wash the stinky, freezer-burned, gym sock sushi taste out of my mouth! I just paid & left with 90% of the food still on the table.

The service was great, but the food was inedible. I'm upset I spent money here, I should have complained.

Absolutely gross, like fish left in the freezer so long that it absorbed all the other smells in a dirty freezer.

Maybe that's why everyone around me was eating chicken & other non-fish dishes... Highly unrecommended.

This was the worst sushi place I have ever been.
Lowest fish quality I have had in 30 years!!!
But at the same regular price anywhere else.
We all had stomach aches right after. I went there with high google rating, but it was most awful bad sushi!!! DON'T GO TO BUKO

A fantastic small Japanese spot hidden in a strip mall in Glendale. A real hidden gem with great service and affordable prices.

Pretty cool place to have a beer, talk and eat something while drinking. The vibe’s immaculate. Love the takoyaki!

Langostino roll was really good (they called it popcorn lobster but it's really langostino). Tempura avocado was ok, but it tasted better with the lemon I had to ask for separately. The ramen was overcooked and broth underseasoned. Even after adding a lot of salt it still was mediocre.

Omg this place is awesome! It is a perfect blend of simplicity, flavors and service. There's only one other place that I can remember, the tonkostu ramen being so rich and creamy not salty and that was in Washington DC. We also get the spicy crunchy tuna roll and that was excellent. I think the best restaurants make you want to make the trip back to enjoy them again, I'm coming back!
