Reasonably priced on some items. Service was great. But very slow and the food took a long time as well. Service fee of 18% is added for a bigger party so be sure to look closely before adding your tip. Otherwise, you'll be giving over 30% tip for a decent experience.

We got yakitori, yellowtail nigiri, and a special yellowtail roll with asparagus and sweet potato in it.
The yakitori was undercooked (slightly) and mostly flavorless.
The nigiri was unbalanced. The fish quality was okay, but there was no wasabi to taste, and I have a very low spicy tolerance!
The maki would have been good if not for the asparagus, and when we removed it, it drastically improved, but meh. The maki was very pretty, however.
The service was good! The waiter returned pretty quickly and refilled drinks.
I don’t think I’d return, but it beats most of the sushi in Davis!

Come here frequently for takeout and dine in. We’ve never been disappointed!!! The sushi is fresh, all of the hot food is so nicely prepared and tasty. Prices are very reasonable which is rare for quality Japanese food in our area!

Made a reservation here to try it for the first time. When we arrived there were no less than 10 people all piled up at the front. None of us were seated by the time we left 20 minutes after arriving.
Absolutely no one was working the front - I don't understand how a place could be so short staffed they can't handle seating customers, handling takeout orders, or even answering the phone.
No idea what the food was like - my time is too valuable to have a reservation blatantly ignored. Anyone else reading this might have better luck.

Food was AMAZING, staff were very nice, food came out very quick. Modest but cute decor. Highly recommend stir fried udon, baked salmon roll, and shumai!

The chicken teriyaki was an enormous portion-- like two chicken breasts-- but the teriyaki sauce was watery and sparsely applied. I liked the steamed broccoli and the rice was good.

Service was sufficient, polite & speedy. Atmosphere was intimate and a lil crowded. That said, the sushi was AMAZING!!!
I’ve eaten a lot of maki rolls here in Boston and thus far this has been that only the highest quality sushi, but the most aggressively priced!!
The chefs were also accommodating for substitutions, as well as some special requests (I have a shellfish allergy, so there are considerations that go with it) and again given how much I asked them I was still astonished at how quick that sushi rolls came out and just the overall quality of everything that were served to me.
Hands-down this is some of the best sushi in Boston! Can’t wait to come back with friends!!!!

This Japanese restaurant left a great impression. The takoyaki and tempura, as classic Japanese snacks, were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, definitely worth trying. The sushi and sashimi were fresh and delicious, melting in your mouth, with beautifully artistic plating that enhanced the dining experience. Overall, both in taste and presentation, the restaurant showcases the unique charm of Japanese cuisine—an unmissable spot for Japanese food lovers.
Born and raised in New England, I met and married my better half in Japan. This little restaurant was amazing with how well the nigiri sushi was prepared and served. Domo arigato Matsuba Izakaya. Oishi!!!

A perfect curry katsu when I needed it most. Friendly staff, and they're open later than most in Medford. I'll be coming back.

Price is good. Food average and matches the price. Service was lagging. Our waitress was not rude or anything but she said less than 5 words for the whole time we were in the restaurant. It was just awkward. When she came to our table, she didn't even ask what we wanted to order. I told her the dish she said ok for the first 2 items. Then the rest she didn't even say a word. She wasn't angry just expressionless don't care.
