Best chicken I've ever tasted must get the fried chicken and gyoza appetizer that comes yum yum sauce?? I had a beef short rib and teriyaki salmon bento box. The other two got the millionaire tonkotsu and the miso soup. The only reason I took one star out for the atmosphere was because the music was too loud where we were sitting.

I always order from this place on ubereats late at night after going out. It is definitely much appreciated that this place closes so late!!! The food is good! A real lifesaver around these streets. Please keep up the good work!

Nice and cozy Isakaya style cafe. With tons of artefacts from Japanese pop culture. Infused beer and ramen noodles are delicious.

One of my fave spots near me. I would say all the happy hour items are fantastic, but wouldn't order anything outside of it.

Very tasty and affordable price, I tried several things on the menu and they were all very good. Rice-based beers are also recommended.

Glad this place was open later into the evening and able to be delivered.Ordered at about 10/11pm Sunday and it was delicious! A nice hot ramen really did it for me and kept me warm until I went to bed.The noodles are kept separate from the broth which I always appreciate and the toppings were with the noodles as well. I just would take bits and pieces of the toppings and a serving of the noodles and dunk it into the broth container.The meat was very tender and the portion was quite large which was great for the price. Wish it had just a little something else to the broth flavor, but I can't complain much.Sushi rolls were well made and packed all together and the katsu was yummy too. Hope to visit in person someday

Super cute spot and some super great food! I would definitely recommend coming here during happy hour. I came in with a party of 4 right as they opened and immediately got seated! There were already people inside too, so this place definitely gets busy as dinner rolls through. You have the option of making a reservation by calling, which I did, but I luckily didn't even need one when I ended up going. Amaebi: Decent portion! Served on ice so it's nice and cold, and it tastes perfectly sweet and fresh.Nigiri: During happy hour it's $5 for 2pc of nigiri for hamachi, salmon, and 2 other fish options (mackerel is one of them I think?). Very fresh! It tastes great and is definitely worth it.Takowasa: Very good tako wasabi, not too strong but I wish there was more!Duck Breast: Best item on the menu hands down. It's $9 for 2 skewers, and it tastes so amazing! The sauce it came with was so good. Chicken Hearts: We got this item by mistake, we ordered the liver, but it still tasted great! We just went with it since we didn't want to bother the staff. Chicken Skin: Skip for me, just tastes like pork rinds and is oddly harder to bite through.Fried Oysters: Super delicious! The oysters are a decent size and the sauce it came with was tasty too. I believe it was $10 for 5 pc during happy hour!Giant Calamari: What a sight to behold! It's a good dish, but nothing standout taste wise. The sauces are pretty basic, it's spicy mayo and sweet chili.Fancy Downtown: I wish I'd known it was only 4 pieces! It was so tasty but I wouldn't order it again because of how small it was.Chicken Wings: Definite pass. They're apparently not tossed in the sauce so the sauce came on the side and was kinda cold. Overall it was a great experience! I was worried about the service initially because some folks complained, but it was easy enough for us. We flagged them down if we ever needed anything, but they were always friendly and accommodating for us. There were only 2 people running the show, so be understanding when you get there!
