My husband and I had dinner here yesterday, and the service was very disappointing. The restaurant was almost empty (only 1–2 tables occupied) when we arrived, yet after ordering drinks and an appetizer, we waited about 20 minutes before anyone came back to take our main course order. During that time, the waitress was simply standing or walking around the dining area instead of checking on us. The appetizer (dumplings) also took about 20 minutes to arrive and was served barely warm. We weren’t given individual plates — I had to get up and ask for them myself, which should never happen. After we finished eating, no one cleared our table, and we were left sitting with dirty dishes in front of us.

Food was horribly cold. We were sat under the AC near the window. Portions for specialties were very small compared to price. The food was served also at odd times so the temp was a huge factor when trying to even fathom consuming fully. The food wait was long, the wait to be inquired for a box or our check was extensive. Our bill after delayed wait times and service, was 185$ Seating felt like detention seats in a school The noise to adjust your seat met with table adjustment was horrible, so very loud. First and last time going.

I had lunch here on April 21, 2025 and ordered the grilled whole squid. It's delicious. The wagyu yakiniku is also delicious. Will return when possible.

Me and my boyfriend came in for a Valentines dinner and had the absolute best time. Our waitress, Luna was helpful, attentive, friendly, and so funny. We had the perfect table out of the way and the food was show stopping. The tempura mushrooms are a must try and Luna’s recommendation of spicy mayo put it over the top. Great prices and well spaced tables. I will have to come back here soon!

I lived in Japan for 15 years. The foods here satisfied my Japanese food cravings. In some ways, the sashimi are superior to what I ate in Japan. One way is the size of the slice and another is the quality- very good!
Two critiques I have: the spicy ramen I ate was no where near spicy enough. It was very good and I did not want to alter the taste, but not spicy enough. The server offered to put more hot oil in for me, but I declined. In Japan they bring out a carrier with minced garlic and hot oil for you to portion yourself. This would improve the ramen experience. The other critique is putting corn in with the ramen. My Japanese sons agreed that corn belongs in children’s ramen. This could be Japan regional, and it is only an opinion.
Also, I loved the takoyaki!
