If you feel like some easy average Japanese bar food, this might be a fine option for you. Ordered the salmon spaghetti which was pretty decent. I generally like all forms of spaghetti with a Japanese twist to it. I'm sure the other options are good as well.Chicken karaage unfortunately was probably the worst I've had. It's not even how a proper Japanese karaage should be. The karaage was useasoned and also very dry and chewy. You're probably better off ordering one of their steaks from their tapas menu. Another gripe I had is that the prices online are not updated, and were ~$3-4 lower vs. in-store menu.

Food and service was good, atmosphere was too loud for us, we can’t even hear each other.

Typical local bar serving local style Japanese food. Great happy hour specials. The place does get really loud so if you want to come for an intimate conversation not the police I would go. Great to bring groups of friends over. Best hidden gem on the menu is the garlic bread and garlic cream sauce.

I expected it to be better, both food and service. 4 of us shared Kabocha & bacon, Uni Pasta, Ham & Cheese quesadilla, Shabu Shabu salad, Edamame, steak, and dessert. Our Uni Pasta was a half size compared to other tables. I don't know what happened...Edamame was tasteless. We ordered the quesadilla the last, and it took 20-30min to be served. We almost canceled the order and left. The best one was Shabu Shabu salad.

No matter how many times I come here, or how many things I try off the menu I’m always blown away. The staff is highly professional and friendly, the vibe is chill, the food is great l, drinks are delicious and I like that it’s just adults having fun without kids.

Great happy hour & late night spot! The food is on point and the servers are awesome and take good care of you. We had a large group in their private area and we felt so well taken cared off -- our birthday girl + our whole family enjoyed our late dinner and drinks there. The parking is a little confusing though since they share a parking lot with other businesses. Highly recommended!

The food and drinks during happy hour is the best! The prices and taste makes it all worth it. Only downside it seems the staff are not coordinating very well because different people will come ask the same questions over and over again which is nice sometimes but hard when with friends! Also theres a lot of bugs that fly in which is fine. Also whenever i have tried calling to reserve it never gets picked up so I just show up when it opens.

The food is amazing at a great price. Cocktails are also creative and delicious for a great price as well. The staff works really hard. I believe there were only 2 servers and they were both very efficient and provided great service throughout the entire restaurant.

My daughter suggested this place after seeing Brett Young in concert and I will say that it was the bomb! We got there almost closing and they were so welcoming and accommodating. Not to mention the food and drinks. I did the Geisha shot as a drink and I think I got my new fav! It's very chill vibes. Definitely will be returning soon!

Never a disappointment here. Always eyes bigger than stomach. Everyone is super friendly.

You didn't have to embarrass me about parking and make a big deal about $5 in front of my friend. I was trying to understand for the next time and no one could articulate how parking worked. One server told me I'd get reimbursed. The other said don't pay anything. Someone else said pay for 5 hours and spend $30 then it's free. Don't blame the building, it's your restaurant. And certainly don't embarrass your customers because they don't want their car towed. Geez!!!

Everything here is amazing. Can't go wrong with any of the food or drinks they have. It can get quite busy (especially after work) so just be prepared to wait.

Clean, spacious, inside seating area, separate from bar area. Outdoor seating also available. Friendly, helpful servers. Great recommendations on drinks & food. Food was delicious, with large portions. Mixed drinks were delicious & not too strong. Servers provided an appropriate amount of help without interruption (we were meeting family from out of town). Everyone had enoughbto eat & drink and had a pleasant dining exlerience. Will definitely be back. Happy Hour Specials looked great!

Some foods I think it needs more seasoning but overall. It was good food. Service is good. Staffs are friendly. The place was a little loud but that's what happens when people drink and are having a good time.
