Wonderful service, excellent food. All three of us had the Tuna Poke bowl. It’s so delicious. You can’t be the price or the amount of food you receive. The sushi chef (I didn’t catch his name) was incredibly nice and made conversation with all of us including our 10 year old. Will be coming back very soon.

Horrible sushi. Not legit sushi, no Japanese. I could taste the vinegar in the sushi rice an it was hard. The pieces are so small for price. $70. Would not recommend, will not be going back.Not one single piece sushi was good. The crunch roll didn't have any crunch.

The worst sashimi deluxe I’ve ever seen no wasabi no ginger it’s supposed to have 10 pieces of sashimi I was given 6 super thin slices and 2 pieces of fried fish on rice? Along with imitation crab meat on rice? And rotten avocado. I did not order those it says 10 pieces of sashimi on their menu. Also this was $42.00 take a look at the picture.

Overall experience was good. Great server and food for restaurant week was good. I'm not sure why you would ever want matcha creme on cheesecake...

We are interested in healthy food without oil. We don't eat meat, dairy, fried food, or seafood. We asked Evan to fix us a special vegan roll, not sure if he was up to the challenge. Boy, did he impress! He made two rolls: one w slow cooked mushrooms (not pictured) and also nigiri w roasted yellow peppers (not pictured). It was outstanding! He also fixed us some tofu w scallions and a simple sauce which he and his wife enjoy at home. We also got some udon noodles and steamed vegetables which were outstanding.It was so good we were practically licking the plates!We heartily recommended them to our monthly WVegan Supper Club as our members are interested in heart-healthy food.Such a lovely meal --everything was so delicious! We will definitely be back!!!Vegetarian options: I didn't even look for vegan options. I simply described what we wanted (no oil/cholesterol being key) and asked Evan (the sushi chef) to see what he could do to make something tasty. We were not disappointed! He gave us two outstanding vegan rolls, a plate of tofu with scallions and Dashi, and we also had a plate of steamed vegetables and a side of udon which we seasoned with fresh lemon slices and a bit of soy sauce.Dietary restrictions: We eat a WFPBNO for cardiovascular health. The chef was easily able to make several dishes without oil or fried food, meat or dairy, and they were still very flavorful and delicious. So good, we were simply astonished. Most people don't know how to make tasty food under those conditions.

Had a birthday party in the back room! Everything was excellent. Service for over 20 was phenomenal. Our food was all made fresh and served quickly. They cleaned up and put all decorations in a box for us! Perfect place for a relaxing dinner or a group event!!

Unique spot connected to a bar. Loved the rustic old architecture of the space. Tuna Tartar was fresh and seared lightly. The vegetable roll was yummy, however, the eel cucumber roll, the eel flavors got lost in the over all flavors... unfortunately.Vegetarian options: Veggie maki roll a good choice. Miso soup, seaweed salad, salad, and I believe some mixed veggie dishes and tempura options.

The sushi is not that great, the sushi rice is crucial to successful sushi and the rice has no flavor. The fish quality is okay and the prices are high for the quality. This is unfortunate as last time we came for sushi and it was better. Sadly since the cost of sushi is expensive we will not risk spending the money on this sub par sushi. Keep in mind if you order salmon nigiri you will get smoked salmon, I literally spit it out.

Worst dining experience in a while. The wait was fairly long which I can let slide. After spotting a large rat, I informed staff. They still charged me for my entire meal and took some off from the meals of the others in my party. They finally gave us our food to go. I found the portion size small for the price. It was also cold nit to mention the noodles weren't even cooked... They were doughy and gross. I tried reheating in the microwave to save it after checking if it was safe and it did say. It was not microwave safe. At the end of the day I ate 1 bite of my $21 meal and will not return here.Wheelchair accessibility: There was no wheelchair accessible entrance.

I come to this facility frequently and have been since last year. Every time until now, I had an amazing time with amazing ramen! The staff is all very polite and friendly, and they're wonderful to talk to!This time, though...was a little different. I know that in most cases, it is uncontrollable to fully contain a rodent problem in a place with a kitchen. But to see it out in the dining area...? Was very jarring. There was a massive brown rat that made itself at home in the foliage near our table, and upon seeing it, I was more than a little unsettled, especially when it hopped out and bolted across the floor towards my roommate's side of the table. We requested to take our food to go and informed staff about the problem, which was an easy process, in the long run.However, upon getting our food to take back to the hotel, we noticed very quickly that our meals were missing parts that we had added on, some that even had an upcharge that was paid for. The food quality also wasn't the greatest this time around. The teriyaki pork tacos were extremely salty (although I think they would have been delicious, if the sour cream that came with it was there to balance it out), and two of my other friends who got ramen talked about the poor noodle quality.:c I was really upset over the difference in quality this time. I really hope this gets resolved in the future!

This restaurant never ceases to please. The past couple of months have been exceeding expectations every time. The Ramen broth is exceptional, I gushed. Sushi is amazing, chef's choice on Wednesday's both here and next door at the adjoining Bar 101. I haven't had a disappointing meal here yet, and recommend this to everyone. The bamboo chicken is, and don't be fooled, elevated General Tso's with a delicious ginger note...so so good.
