My partner and I happened upon this place by accident as we’d had a reservation elsewhere but the staff was terrible.. it was meant to be because Mayu was amazing. Truly.
The vibes were immaculate. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The food was genuinely some of the best I’ve had in carytown.
It took me a second to get the theme of what was going on but once I did I loved it even more. The food came out very fast and everything, legitimately every bit, was fantastic.
We got 2 beers, 2 appetizers, 3 sushi rolls, and split pad Thai.. it was only $75.. and the quality was remarkable. The cucumber salad is so good we tried getting 4 orders to go. The sushi was fresh and well made. The pad Thai may be my personal favorite in Richmond.. I didn’t realize the person bringing us our food was actually one of the owners and what a gem of a human he was.
Above the bar played an anime movie and the wall decor matched. Its subtle anime theme works so well. I just can’t recommend this place enough.
Seriously. Go. Tonight.. tomorrow night. Daily. Once they open at 4 today I will be ordering a bunch of that cucumber salad to go.

I loved the manga theme and the decors. It was spacious inside. The food was very tasty. If the rice and the meat could be a little softer, it would be perfect. The Tom yum was fantastic. The restroom was clean. The price was reasonable. The people who worked there were nice and helpful!

Finding this place with my terrible ex was the only good thing to come outta that relationship. The drinks are good, the maki is really good, and the Thai food also hits!

As someone else said in another review, although all of the curry and the pad thai states on the menu is can be made vegetarian, we were told they all contain fish sauce which cannot be changed or removed. This makes them explicitly *not* vegetarian or vegan
This is not the fault of our server and the food we did get was good! But, it's a one star review until they fix their menu to accurately depict the amount of vegetarian options available at this restaurant.

Food was a letdown, it was a Friday night and they were out of all pickled veggies, also have no cocktails. The food itself was okay nothing super memorable, solid portions for the price but overall a letdown with the number of things they were out of on a Friday night

Cute little place, service was great. Staff were friendly and just the right amount of attentive.
The food was okay. Tried the curried dumplings and the pad see-ew. The dumplings were just OK, the pad see-ew was extremely oily and the noodles were overcooked. The massaman curry with chicken was just alright, nothing to write home about.
Went there 18 minutes before close, the server told me, sorry the kitchen is closing in 3 minutes. So I said cool, could I just get a bowl of soup to go? And she said, no, we’re closed. I was like, oh I thought you said 3 minutes and she pulled a face and said we’re closed with a ton of attitude. I’m a server, I get it, but it wouldn’t have been hard to put a ladle of soup in a pint, especially since there were still people sitting down and you weren’t actually closed, you just wanted to be done.

Great sushi with great service! We came in 30 minutes to close and got our food and finished eating before they closed. If you love one piece, definitely come here! The sushi was delicious, and you could taste how fresh the fish and vegetables were. We will definitely be returning!
