And they open at 11am ❤️
Loved having early lunch here!!!
They had a nice selection of Japanese beer. The food was very good – more authentic than many places. The food is not as Americanized, which is to say not sweet the way many Asian food here is.
We had gyoza potstickers which were nice and crispy, the vegetable tempura which was also crispy, fresh and not greasy. The sunomono salad was fresh and tasty. The sesame chicken was also very nice and had a good sauce to accompany it.
This restaurant is not kid-friendly at all. There are no high chairs or booster seats, and the owner was very unfriendly toward children, repeatedly warning customers to “watch their kids.” Ironically, while they were quick to remind parents about children’s behavior, none of the staff were welcoming—the servers never smiled and the overall atmosphere felt tense.
On top of that, they automatically charge a 20% gratuity, but do not clearly inform customers about this policy. Instead, the focus seemed to be on policing kids rather than providing good service.
The food was also disappointing. The ramen tasted like instant noodles, and the meat texture and appearance were questionable.
Overall, poor service, poor food, and an unwelcoming environment.
Would not visit again
My Wife is a cooked food kind of gal and I always get to try some, and her skirt steak place was packed with delicious flavor and it was a great portion.
Atmosphere is calm and relaxing, low key and chill. Service is great, they all are very nice, helpful and they hustle.
The dinner entrees included everything! Soup, salad, tempura, gyoza, sushi, rice, and more! We had the cod, it was amazing.
We don’t live in the area, but love to come back again.
