“Went with a friend familiar with Japanese food Friday evening. My nose and palate was amazed at the smell and taste of ofnour orders! I got shrimp fried rice to go for my husband and it was fabulous! Once I understood to entry and seating, I get it! We felt safe and comfortable and not rushed. There were several takeout orders picked up. The owner was very nice too and people eating in there enjoyed their time. We will be going back for dine in and takeout!“

“I ordered from here online. I called ahead and got some suggestions because I am pregnant. John was beyond helpful in answering my questions and offering suggestions. He told me to put a note in my online order about being pregnant so they would be aware. He even called back and let me know one of the ingredients was not safe so they would be leaving off. It made me feel so good they took my concerns seriously. 10/10 recommend.“
