Absolutely incredible! The staff are always friendly, food quality always stellar, Vegi tempura cooked to perfect doneness. Karage was seasoned very well before the fry and oil temp perfect! 👌 build your poke bowl is my staple, always fresh,fast and delicious. Thank you so much for the Dinner!

It seems they did not improve their house udon from another reviewer’s disappointment after new ownership. I wanted to give it a try as my daughter enjoys udon - but for $16 a bowl we would’ve been more satiated with a bowl of pho next door with beef we can actually chew (it was very tough) and better broth (also found too sweet - just keep the sweetness to all that corn). The seaweed was also tough to eat. The Cali roll was a small portion and small pieces and average in quality - I would’ve been happier from a decent grocery store’s sushi section.
We were the only other duo in the restaurant and we were never checked in on during the long wait for food nor after we got our food. The staff seemed more occupied with to go orders.
The only saving grace from our visit was the mango shake it was delicious and comparably priced at $7 for Seattle.
Perhaps poke is the way to go here but then maybe just stick with what you’re good at. Won’t be worth the dodgy street parking here to return.

Good food. Good friendly service.
Very small portions. Over priced for tiny portions that does not fill you up.
Their portions are measured for tiny 90lb people. Not for regular avarage American people. You will leave hungry after you paid for those high prices. Unless you order , pay for a double portion.
I consider them miser, greedy, stingy,cheapskate, ripoff
There is plenty of food around. Why do they behave that way to their customers. Customers don't mind paying their high prices. But give the customers the value for what they paid for.
Don't skim , and don't shorten the customers food portions . It is a fast way to business failure
Difficult to find parking near by

I ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl, and it was delicious. So fresh. Perfectly streamed veggies and the sauce was delightful, not too heavy. Just right. Friendly and efficient service. The restaurant space has no beauty, but it's clean.

Food is not bad, but you will need to find street parking around the restaurant that is available only for one hour.

Please adjust your hours online if you plan to close earlier than what it says. That is very inconsiderate of your customers. Also, didn't enjoy all the dog poop all around walking up.
FYI if you order to go, they won’t start making it until you are there
Yummy Vegan Food. Good Deep-Fried Tofu Sandwich & Tofu Tempura Sushi. Hanna was very kind
Great deal for 20 with tax & tip for both

It was a very nice experience with a great atmosphere. The staff was very kind and even gave me extra salmon for waiting. I would 100% recommend it, and the food was good.

Disappointing dinner tonight.
We have not been here since it’s been under new management. We ordered the Niku udon like normal. However it has completely changed.
We were used to having the udon with beef, green onion, mushrooms, pickled ginger and a soft boiled marinated egg.
Instead we got a more soupy udon that had corn?? Seaweed?? (That was also almost half of the bowl). Barely any green onion, no pickled ginger, and a half of a hard boiled egg. The beef texture was an improvement, not as fatty, but the marinade was sweet? Almost like a teriyaki? It over powered the broth. I unfortunately could not finish it between the sweetness and the chewy seaweed. See photos for the differences.
We drive 20 minutes to have this udon but we were not made aware they were under new management. No updates online, their photos for the udon are the original udon not the new one.
Will say we did order the dragon roll(new item) and it was pretty good. Maybe this udon is someone else’s cup of tea but again disappointed the recipe has changed. Staff was very nice and attentive.
