Reviews
Parking was decent, with a bunch of one ways around the area so you will make a lot of loops before finding a spot but the restaurant is right by the 7 for those who love the subway.
Tuesday, at 6:00pm we entered a calm and by 6:30pm it was bustling with families and couples meeting after a long day of work. This place was alive.
I always order their “obento box”, which comes with a choice of an entrée from their daily-rotating list (so cute how they write them on a few chalkboards that they move around the restaurant for whoever’s ordering).
Everything I’ve ordered has always been delicious, from the various fish dishes (salmon / arctic char are particular favourites), the stir-fried pork, and their sushi rolls. The salad is invariably so fresh, and the small side of obanzai is always a treat 🙂
Price point is unparalleled — I think the bento was priced at $12 when I first came a few years ago, and it’s still $12 now.
Such a lovely cute restaurant — service is fast and friendly, and the interior, while a bit small, is definitely very cosy and has that unique rustic Japanese aesthetic to it (including a lot of their tableware). This is definitely a must-try in the area, and I will no doubt be back very soon!
I just think the menu experience is poor. Is this an izakaya, budget omakase, or teishoku dining experience. I wanted more grilled fish entree options.
I wish I could say that I enjoyed the food here more, especially because it’s such a cute concept and store, with a very reasonably priced lunch menu. I got the chirashi bowl, which was okay, but the seafood wasn’t the freshest. The roll we shared was okay, and honestly it was just a good but not great meal.
Atmosphere 9/10
Very peaceful vibes of the interior, it was giving zen through the light wooden tones.
Service 9/10
Friendly and quite fast.
