“Overall, a decent meal. Your order is handled through a QR code on the table, and they will bring the food to you.

The small bites we ordered were all cold dishes but tasty.

The giant unagi nigiri was sticky and sweet, but a bit tricky to eat due to the size of the roll.

The tobiko rolls were delicious!

The Classic Men was good, but the chashu slices were extremely lean and dry and difficult to chew.

The Gyu Don was well seasoned and tasty, though there were some strong hints of cumin spice in some bites.“

“I went there with six people.

It’s located in a trendy part of Brooklyn, and the restaurant has a really nice atmosphere. The staff who served our table were also very friendly.

As for the food, I was interested in okonomi fried potato and eringi karaage, but they weren’t anything special—just generally tasty. The garlic shrimp was probably the best dish, and the sushi rolls we ordered were also just average. I wasn’t particularly impressed with the desserts.

Since it’s in a trendy area, the prices aren’t exactly inexpensive.

Given the pleasant atmosphere, interior, and friendly staff, I think it’s a good spot for a casual date to enjoy a few drinks.“

“Great food. Very diverse menu. We were shocked that even the french fries and edamame were prepared so flavorfully! Sake was incredible and worth buying the bottle. Presentation of my entree was super fancy. Service was 5 stars. Super attentive and friendly. What a great place to get lunch!“

“Came here with my sister for lunch and had a wonderful. The cafe is so cute and the menu is quite extensive (there’s just so many options, you’ll have to come back!). Our waitress was the sweetest and answered any questions/concerns that we had. I got the hamachi don and my sister got the katsu. Both were delicious and the portions are filling! I will definitely come back.“

“Service was great, fast and attentive throughout. I ordered the Unajyu (eel), which was decent, though the rice came out a bit dry.

The real standout was the Miso Black Cod, seared perfectly and packed with flavor, honestly the best part of the meal. My only critique is the pacing gap between my two dishes, and I think it would've been better if they came out together. Still, solid food and quick service overall.“

“I wasn’t really having too good of a day going around the city and coming back from work in the heat, i stopped by the area, and i just decided “Why not” I really like this place though, genuinely a welcome environment and the one server here was nice and patient too. The food even though I really only had 2 things since my appetite kinda went away from a bad day it made me feel better. The boiled edamame and the sausage skewer were really good even if they were just starter items. I recommend this place. Nice decor, good food, good service. Surprised it isn’t more busy“
