The food was very meh, the yakitori didn't taste like they used tare and I couldn't smell if they actually used coal/binchotan since my chicken was really burnt. The only plus side is the larger portions.The ramen was also meh. Just salty with a little bit larger than normal portions.The only upside is that this place opens late.2/5 not worth getting shot walking around oakland
I had the black garlic pork ramen and my wife had the pork tonkotsu. We also ordered some other appetizers and they were all great. Well priced and great service as well.No more sushi on the menu though.
Went here thinking they would have sushi and they are going through a menu change so heads up that is in the works.Overall the service was great I had John who was so kind and attentive. The place has parking too so if you don’t find anything on the street try going into their lot.I ordered the fried tofu appetizer and fried beef sandwich. The tofu was delicious and the beef was perfectly crispy. Only issue was the sauce on the beef was super salty. I usually like salt and when I gave feedback John was so receptive and offered to take it off my bill even when I declined he insisted.Overall I’ll be back when they have updates to the menu!
This is my second time coming here and the first time was really great. However this time could have been better. The vibe felt a little off and the staff was not as warming. But they are getting three stars this time primarily because the presentation of the black garlic ramen was definitely not what I was expecting. Normally there would be way better presentation but I felt that the ramen was not presented in the best way it could have. Just look at the picture. It came out like that. But aside from that the skewers were great. Although the chicken heart is kind of weird normally there would be a few hearts on a skewer but it really feels like one skewer had a few chopped up pieces of a heart maybe not even a whole heart. But yes three stars just because of the ramen all the other skewers were delicious. I hope the next time I go there it's better. I would normally give this place four stars
Highly recommend the chicken curry ramen! The outdoor seating option is very nice.
Delicious food. Good service. Relaxed ambiance. A bit loud but it's not a complaint
Love this place! The black garlic ramen is my favorite and the skewers are amazing. The music is also always on point whenever we're here! Helpful, attentive and friendly staff too ?
Great place for sashimi, Yakitori, and curry Katsu. Very authentic taste and the portions are generous! Also the service was wonderful! I would come back again.
Great food, very professional staff (Sue was also extremely attentive!) We ordered Veggie Ramen (original) with bonito broth, sashimi platter (yuzu marinated salmon was incredible), and Yakitori skewers (chicken hearts, beef tongue, unagi and chicken). Everything tasted delicious. The outdoor space is cozy, warm and welcoming. We'll be back
good atmosphere nice service I love Tuna tartar

I really love this place.The food is just well made and the ingredients compliment the food so well. The teas are really good if you’re into sweet teas, they’re almost like a dessert. The Yakitori is juicy and seems like good quality. I really like the crispy tofu appetizer.The staff are all really friendly too, it’s one of the rare instances where I can easily tell that they go the extra mile. On top of everything being great, they’re even quite quick and efficient. On a super busy night they were so very quick with our food, it was impressive.
This is a really great place with a new and inventive menu. Not the same old stuff. Well prepared food and the prices are also incredibly reasonable. The staff however, was really what leveled this up to a five. They were so attentive and friendly. This is definitely a spot worth checking out.
Good for the skewers, nice outdoor dining option. The salmon and fatty tuna was a favorite that night for sashimi. The eggplant skewer happened to be my fav.Mango Hamachi and beef tataki in the pics.
Excellent sashimi and ramen dinner!
Fantastic food! The price is honestly low given the high quality of food. Love a hot bowl of ramen to unwind at the end of a rainy day. Veggie Ramen was especially good, and I'm not even vegetarian. Service is also great! Top notch and highly recommended.
