Fresh sushi, hot steaming miso soup, cool decor, good service. Bento boxes were a nice lunch but I'd make sure to order noodles or extra sushi rolls to make it a filling meal.

My husband and I came here for dinner for our anniversary and it was fantastic! It was super busy, so we are happy we booked a reservation. The sushi is so fresh and delicious and the braised pork belly special with shishito peppers was so good! My husband got the pan chicken and. I got the soup with udon noodles, shrimp tempura, sliced beef chicken and veggies. All of it was delicious.
