Got a mix of sushi and ramen there, all of which was good. As someone from the Bay area, it is kind of what you'd expect in terms of offerings and pricing, so if you're feeling Japanese food this is a solid choice.

I did have an ono roll for the first time, and I'm happy I did. If you like Ono fish sammiches (shout out to Pais Fish Mkt!), this'll do you right.

This our go to sushi spot in the five cities! The family that runs this gem is fabulous and the food and service is out of this world! We love many of their specialty rolls but also enjoy their ramen and udon noodle soups. It's small and quaint inside...we feel like family when we are there!

Definitely worth a stop if you like traditional Japanese food. We loved it so much we had lunch there the following day!

Ehh...save your time & money & go to Umi, Yamato or any other sushi restaurant in Grover. Service here is saltier than the miso soup

No heat, high prices, small portions, mediocre quality

The salmon sushi is average 4 dollars. The Tonkutsu Ramen has no chatsu, also scallop roll has little bit small size scallops.The price they charged is 30 more than San Francisco. This is rip of people money.

Disappointed with the food at its price point, for a $22 entree of katsu curry, tasted and looked like a school lunch. Not much flavor or depth and the pork loin was quite tough. Would not recommend

Not the biggest fan. Ordered soba noodles, I think I got spaghetti. The ramen smelled fishy. The sushi rice was too vinigery. The portions for the price is ok, except for the soba. At best the quality of the soba is panda express comparable. Showed up at 7 and was told the dining area was closed but we can order to go. We were excited because it looked and smelled amazing. We were fine with that. Had high expectations but we're sadly disappointed.

To owner: I was there today around 7pm and had the to-go order of ramen, soba, and 2 sushi rolls.
