This place would be a lot more enjoyable if they figured out an alternative notification system for their in-house alarms for delivery apps. As soon as I relax into the ambience and begin unwinding, there will be a barrage of standard iPhone alerts at piercing volume. There’s potential for a comedy sketch there, but for an izakaya it’s a bit profane and deeply distracting. I would select 3.5 stars if it were an option, but going with 4 because 3 is hardly accurate considering the quality of the place, and I’m not trying to hurt their bottom line over a somewhat nitpicky issue. I’m just disappointed that the restaurant itself is the one most dispelling the atmosphere of an izakaya, as opposed to upholding it.

That all being said, it would be an easy remedy for them to simply turn off the ringer and establish a habit of visually checking the device in question for orders. Surely, disciplined attention is a small sacrifice to make to truly live up to the chosen designation as an izakaya

Great find. Was looking for sushi places open late and found this place. Small amount of tables, beware, but it makes for a more intimate and cozy feel. Service was good, food was great. And open late. 100% try it.

This is the second time I went here, you really cannot beat a sushi place that's open this late. But put that to the side -this food was spectacular!! Cute little spot. Definitely a good on a date or by yourself, everybody's different from my eyes are rolling in the back of my head!

Good food! Great atmosphere! This place is definitely a vibe. Not a lot of seating though. This is my new late night spot.

I have been waiting over 40 minutes for two vegetable rolls, nobody even making a slight effort to check in. I can't even rate the food because I doubt I will ever eat it. If you are hungry, do not eat here.

The food could be be better. Try them for the first time but unfortunately the quality of the product are not that good.

Hands down some of the best sushi I have had in a while and it seems family owner which is definite plus for me. I left 10 ibs heavy than I walked in lol 😂

The food is good . But the wait is soo long that it will actually kill your appetite 😕. They are very short staffed . Our server looked super tired . They took over 30 mins to take the order . Took another 40-50 mins to bring the order out. But the bill came right away . Food might be good but definitely not worth the wait.

Great, got okonomiyaki to go. It’s a slightly different version of it than I’m used to, but that’s how the dish is. The bonito was generous. If I’d gotten it not to-go I imagine it would have been that much better.

This is my friends and i’s favorite sushi spot ever!!!! They never miss. Crab Rangoons are amazing, great vegan/ vegetarian options as well. We are OBSESSED with the avocado roll here- I know it’s basic but it’s the best in town. Hana is always our server and she is great! Super knowledgeable on the menu, friendly, and prompt!
