Great place! We did a la carte. Food was delicious; prices for most things were fair but the veggie portions were 4 thinly sliced zucchini, 4 of the smallest mushrooms I’ve seen, and 2 small shishito peppers for $8. Otherwise, service was very good, staff is super friendly, good atmosphere & nice music. Would go back. Happy hour prices are good for most options, some minimal discount.

I honestly like this location WAY more than the HB location. The manager usually ends up tending to my table and as a solo diner, I appreciate the space and attention he provides for me.

Overall, a solid choice for a lunch spot. I have consistently gotten the 3 item lunch special and have always left extremely full (with leftover rice). Beef toro is my favorite.

The service was amazing. I really think that everyone was super friendly and super nice and made me feel really comfortable. My son and I went tonight and had a great dinner. It was super yummy. I highly recommend the entire experience.
