The hubby and I came here on Sunday, 3/24/2024, when we arrived the restaurant was basically empty, so we were sat right away and asked where we wanted to sit. Our server brought over water right away and soon after we ordered a California roll (me) and the hubby got one unagi sushi for a dollar (a special). The California roll was fresh, well rolled and really delicious, my husband said the same for the unagi. My husband also got the chicken thigh yakatori for three bucks, it was brought out hot, tender and delicious. For our entrees, we both got Tonkotsu, we added an extra egg and shared it, so we would each have one full egg in our ramen instead of just a half. The Tonkotsu was fire, the broth was hot and buttery, egg perfectly cooked and yolky, the pork was tender and flavorful and overall just great. We will definitely be back and highly recommend. One final note, service was great and friendly!

I enjoyed dinner here once in the restaurant and twice to go. The food is excellent and the service was friendly. Reasonable cost for the quality. The interior is attractive. Will return and try other items on the menu. Like the variety too.

Cute place with great food! We came during lunch and got several $1 sushi pieces as part of their daily lunch special. The sushi was fresh and great value for only being a dollar each! We also got ramen, and I really enjoyed the tonkotsu ramen broth. Service was quick and friendly. There's also free parking at the Days Inn right next to the restaurant.

I had lunch here on a weekday. My party seemed to be the only customers at the restaurant, but they are still very new. The sushi was decent, the bento box rolls came with imitation crab meat. The menu selection is pretty wide, but it wouldn’t categorize this as an authentic Japanese restaurant. It’s a good value lunch type of place. The desserts were hit or miss, good flavor green tea ice cream and very underwhelming mochi.Parking is in the hotel parking lot.

Went here for a late valentines date and honestly got way more than we expected :) the food was amazing, the drinks were wonderful and the people running the place were super sweet. They even told us that there's happy hour on the weekends which isn't on their menu but was a wonderful surprise! Highly recommend the karage and the katsu curry

We tried these rolls and Kimchi ramen. Everything great but the egg on ramen is still cold. Nice service

Stopped into this quaint and non-descript place on a weekday evening. It's located inside a Days Inn motel in the corner so be on the lookout for it. There were a few other tables but the service was quick and the atmosphere was quiet. The food was pretty delicious and the menu had a good selection. The sushi was fresh and had some creative pairings and they all worked well together. The fries were pretty basic and wouldn't order again but overall would come back. Until next time!

This a late review as I visited here a few months ago. After a long day of wine tasting, some friends and I were starving and needed some food! A friend who lives close by recommended this place. It was a solid choice. Service was great and prompt. The place isn't large but they made good use of the space! Food was very flavorful and prices decent. If I'm ever in this area, I'd dine here again!

So yum! Service was good, place was hardly busy on a Friday night. The area on Columbia Pike is a bit sketch and it's in the same parking as a motel but once inside you forget all of that. The place is very cute. The bar area is separated from dining room with a cut out wall and the entrance foyer area but both areas are well decorated and look like a place to bring a date or group of friends to hang out. We got Takoyaki (fried octopus balls) Bulgogi Udon Soup, a Hawaiian roll, spicy crunchy tuna roll and a yellowtail avocado. My kids got fresh homemade lemonade and I got a Thai tea. Fried octopus appetizer was amazing. Rolls were all amazing Udon had a good flavor broth, meat was good and noodles. It wasn't huge but was enough.
