So looks like there run has come to an end. They did okay while it was open. We sampled their sushi, rice bowls & ramen. Like I said early, it was okay. I was hoping a spot like this would do well for this shopping center. Unfortunately it didn't.

Sooo, I haven't written a review in a long time, and I feel badly, that I have to write a bad one. We ordered ramen and hibachi. The ramen was well overpriced for what you get. The broth was bland and tasted like the cheap cup of noodles. The soy eggs were normal hard boiled eggs and the "chashu" was pork chop meat that tasted like chicken... I felt like it was insulting to call this ramen. I'm sure the other food might be better but this was definitely horrible. The hibachi was also overpriced and small serving. The fried rice had the cheap frozen carrot/pea combo every Chinese carry out has. Definitely will not be returning.

Awesome sushi and poke bowls and wonderful service. The chef even gave my son and his friend a sushi making lesson for their rolls.

Had a bad experience for dinner today. Never imagined this would happen since the last couple experiences was great. The food took a very long time today.Server seemed to panic and never gave us an explanation as to why my wife had to wait 40 minutes for her vegetable ramen. I had the server box our food to go. I will not be returning here anymore.

I have been here twice and I really like this place. I really like the mystic roll. It has spicy salmon inside with seared tuna on top. I also tried the eel and avocado roll and one of the specialty rolls with crab "spaghetti" on top. The crab spaghetti was good but it was a lot. What is crab spaghetti? Imitation crab meat sliced into long noodles. I also tried the miso ramen and seaweed salad. The seaweed salad tasted as it should and was a big portion to split between two. The miso ramen was very good. It was a little salty so I was glad I got extra eggs in mine. I'll definitely be back in the near future.

This is literally my boyfriend and my favorite sushi spot in the area! Their original spot in Fairfax Station is the one we use to go to, but we're so happy the just opened up this spot in Springfield within the last week since it's closer to our house! Their sushi is AMAZING!! Wouldn't go anywhere in the area for sushi! The owners are extremely nice and welcoming and couldn't ask for better authentic cuisine from this restaurant!

Great new place in W.Springfield. Ordered sushi rolls and fried rice with beef and veggies. Everything was just right: meat is juicy, fish and veggies are fresh. Plus they have ramen - what else can you dream about? Place is spacious and clean

Pretty disappointing experience. The Iced Tea was old, we didn't get our full order, and the sushi and ramen were sub-par at best. The atmosphere and design of the place is awesome, but the food itself was lacking. I'll need to find another Japanese place nearby next time.

Sushi is typical, some good tasting, other peices aren't much better than prepackaged sushi from a market. The soups are hot and tasty.

So i ordered the beef ramen. To be honest you wont find the real taste of japs ramen. So far the soup is not bad .. i would say its okay .
This place has been on my list but the reviews are mixed. Friends have said that they've visited during dinner and enjoyed the food. My friend and I decided to visit during a weekday lunch. I asked the yelp community if there was a buffet and consensus said "yes". At our recent visit we were told no buffet but they did offer some lunch deals. There's a sushi $1 $4 $3 menu. They had a small variety and we ordered a couple of items. We also ordered off the lunch bento menu prices ranging from $10-$14. I enjoyed a nice katsu meal that included a couple of tempura pieces, CA Roll, and rice. The katsu was lightly fried and tasty but the tempura was a bit soggy. For the price, it was a good portion. Service was good. There was only 3 other tables in house when we visited. I'm hoping others will visit and this place stays around.

Tentatively saying 5* because they are new. Going back to try the ramen. Sushi was great and super inexpensive. Nice people.

Was served by the owner at the bar and we had a blast and had some great food, service and experience. I had the dragon roll and spicy tuna rolls. We had a lot of fun hanging out with the owner and trying new rolls. Like the attached photo. Relaxing, fresh seafood and great company.

Best sushi in the area, super friendly service and quality. I'm not giving them a five star review only because of the lighting. It's like eating in an operating room. Guys, you have a beautiful place, make it cozy, soften the lighting by at least a third, I'll go and stay longer and spend more... maybe I'll even go on a date night.

New needs some time to work out bugs.I went first time and it was slow and seemed hard to get order straight. Many people a bit frustrated from wrong order, not uncommon for new place. Sushi was OK, poke bowl was great. Depending on day staff seems to be slow.
