So happy to discover this little gem in Wellesley centre! It's small only maybe 7 or 8 tables, so there can be a wait, but eating at the small (4 chair) sushi bar also an option ( and cool visuals there, huge colorful video loop of underwater sea life)
Service was *exceptional*, food fresh and delicious. And loved trying the Japanese IPA, it was terrific. Highly recommend👍

Lovely little hole in the wall place in Wellesley..
The vegetarian gyoza was the best I’ve ever tasted. The nigiri was amazingly delicious, the drunken noodles and curries were very flavourful too.
Strongly recommend this gem
