We happened upon this quaint Japanese restaurant and what a wonderful surprise it was. The poke bowl was easily one of the best I have had, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The service was warm and attentive, and I was especially grateful for their thoughtful gluten free options, which can be difficult to find in this cuisine.
Thank you for such a lovely experience. We will absolutely be back!!

Much cuter than it should be given that it’s in the Crossroads and has a strip mall exterior. Friendly staff and quick service, the quality of the fish here is very good. Even though I live downtown and have options for sushi, I drive here for the quality. Had the sushi lunch special today and it was definitely worth the price!

They have a separate 2-page Gluten Free menu with Sushi, rolls, and poke bowls. The Sushi was amazing, the restaurant was quiet and cozy, and the staff was incredibly friendly.

Very nice server and cozy atmosphere. The sushi was amazing especially with some Asahi. I recommend trying the traditional specialty rolls I thought they were really good.

A Cozy Japanese Gem
I went to this Japanese restaurant on my own and had such a lovely experience. As soon as I walked in, the cozy atmosphere made me feel welcomed—even though the place was full, they accommodated me quickly near the bar where I could watch the chef prepare sushi. The staff was attentive, and I got exactly what I wanted. The portions were generous—I even had to take most of it home! Everything tasted fresh and well-made. Prices matched the quality and quantity, and I’m definitely coming back. A beautiful solo dining moment that turned into a little highlight of my day.

We enjoyed trying this new gem that we discovered. From the moment we walked in the door, we actually thought it was a poke restaurant. We quickly realize that there’s also Sushi here! We were greeted fairly promptly and the atmosphere was good. The place is a little small and service took a while. But food was delicious and we really enjoyed our experience. I would recommend anyone looking for a good Poké or a sushi place to give this small gem a try! My favorite roll was the one they grilled! Unfortunately I don’t remember the name, but I will post a few pictures and videos below! It is a little bit on the price your side, but certainly worth trying at least once. We do plan on coming back.

Authentic Japanese food with a truly welcoming touch.
The young lady who served us was so kind and patient, taking time to explain each dish with care. She even brought us a gluten-free menu to choose from. The owners’ kindness and sincerity made the experience even more special.
We’ll definitely be coming back again soon. Arigatou gozaimas!

This was a super cute restaurant. Food was great! Traditional Japanese food (sushi, tempura, katsu, ramen/udon, teriyaki, etc.) plus they’ve partnered with a poke bowl place so they also have poke! I got the Over the Rainbow poke bowl. My mom got donteri(?) Both were excellent. Miso soup was great! Salad dressing is the more sour version of ginger dressing.
Parking is pretty easy, and there’s a lot of it, though if it’s a super busy night, you might have to park behind the building.

I really enjoyed dinner here! I got here at about 5:10 and within an hour they were busy. The customer service was amazing! And the food was too. Literally the best katsudon I’ve had in NC! Will definitely be back to have dinner again soon!
