Tried the tasting menu and it was so delicious. I enjoyed everything I ate, many dishes were very unique. The servers were incredibly friendly, and the experience was so enjoyable! I will definitely be back. Try the strawberry tart— it was so good! 🍓

Went here with my friend and we loved it! We did their tasting menu and it was a very unique experience with really fresh food, some of which we’ve never tried before. It’s really affordable when you do the tasting menu and super worth it- we left very full! The dessert (strawberry tart) was insanely good as well. Definitely end your night with that!

Been regularly attending for a few months now. The place generates warmth, regardless if you’re entering alone to unwind or with friends. You can’t go wrong with à la carte or tasting menu, but an Orion and highball is a must.

Super good experience, great place to have a small drink. The vibe is super good, all authentic Japanese food. We highly recommend the Cha One Mushi!

Amazing service, amazing food

The Yuzu Tachipon is really creamy and soft, going down smoothly to your mouth. The seasoning is a bit light, though. The yuzu peel included has a slightly bitter taste, and the yuzu sauce doesn't have much flavor. It would be much better if they made the seasoning stronger or prepared it in a tempura style, which I prefer.

The Kaisen Don sashimi rice bowl isn't very large. The flavor is average. If they added more wasabi and sprinkled some crispy toppings, the taste and texture would be on a whole new level.

The liver sashimi is also okay, but it does have a soft and tender texture. Hopefully, it can be served with a thicker slice of each.

The Ryukyu sashimi, served with sesame, seaweed, perilla, and Japanese ginger, has an insanely good texture. The perilla leaf is the highlight on top — with the aroma of sesame, the crunch of seaweed and scallions, combined with the unique smell of perilla.

This is another cozy little spot you'll want to return to. However, the service time is a bit long. It took almost two hours to enjoy these four dishes.

The Japanese waitress is very nice and makes you feel warmly welcomed. She's always smiling.

Food is good and service is nice but it takes a really long time for the food to come out. The portions are also small compared to its price... it's quite expensive for what it's worth. I went once but I probably won't again.

Fried rice, beef tartare, omelette, and pickled cucumber were all excellent.
