I had the tendon domburi and my dining partner had the miso ramen. The miso ramen came with miso soup and a salad. The domburi came with miso soup. All our food was delicious and the service was very attentive and kind. I had questions and our server answered them completely. I’ve been here quite a few times and it never disappoints.

This place is AMAZING!! I love the cozy atmosphere and how authentic it feels—just like a traditional Japanese restaurant. The food was all freshly made and absolutely delicious! I’ve only been to a few truly authentic Japanese restaurants like this in my life, and this one definitely stands out.

There are amazing lunch specials! They come with Sushi or another type of main dish and a Mizo soup and salad as well! They also serve REAL ramen soup! That’s what I went for but ended up on freshly made sushi from the bar. Ohh can’t forget to mention how wonderfully extensive the wine list is!

The inside and how spacious it is honestly surprised me compared to what it looks like from the outside. The service was excellent as well. Big thank-you to the waiter on Saturday afternoon for being so kind and patient with my loud, wild toddler, and my husband 😂 we will definitely be back! Thank you all for a wonderful lunch!

Food was awesome! Sushi was delicious and they even had o toro and blue fin for a good price. They also have natto! Service was top notch - super friendly and attentive. Vibe was clean and a very nice, Japanese feel. Sushi counter experience is great.

As much as I would love to give this place a better review...I just can't. Unfortunately the service was incredibly, painfully slow. The variety of food was good and our table ordered an extensive amount of different dishes to try and there wasn't anything that any of us were overly excited about. Dishes were bland, chicken dry and the sushi rolls were probably some of the worst I've had (and we eat a lot of sushi). I got a ramen noodle dish and it was extremely bland. A lot of the dishes are like tapa style/sized, so while the prices on them were fair, you had to order a lot to get full. The bill was $176 for 4 people. The good parts? Nice atmosphere, very quaint and I appreciated the heated toilet seat.
