Very good sushi and ramen. Great service! Comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. We will be back when we return to San Diego.
Good variety of food. Not the greatest, but pretty good, fast, and lots to choose from.
This has long been my favorite restaurant it's neighborhood, where else can you get such a wide variety of grilled meat on sticks and so many different side dishes? Absolutely recommend going.
