I went today for lunch and got the bento box. For the most part it was tasty, but unfortunately the tempura shrimp looked spoiled or uncooked. It was gray and a dark brown color. I did take a bite before I saw what it looked like underneath the tempura. I made mention of this to the waiter, but she didn't seem too concerned and didn't have a follow up response. I've gotten sick since then.

Here for work and found this place. Food was great!! Fast to come out. Lunch business bento box with the black cod is the best! So much food for $25. I also got the shoshito peppers which were good too. Slow to bring out check but other than that, service was impeccable.
