The line was not terribly long and the bowl is huge and delicious. I would say half of it for later but I don't have a refrigerator where I'm working!

Several of us arrived early (and we had added a person between the reservation to the dinner time) but the restaurant was able to accommodate us with no issues and we were seated immediately! Plenty of street parking too around that time nearby. The restaurant was not crowded at that time, and overall quiet enough to encourage normal volume conversation. The waitress who served us was extremely great, very accommodating, giving us recs, and doing a great job keeping all our information organized. We ordered drinks, some appetizers, and several rounds of food. The starters came out a bit slow, but soon when all our entrees were out it was a ton of food! We also asked the waitress if she could just choose rolls for us with a given budget, and she did a great job! Everything tasted great. Overall great service and good food! I particularly loved the chicken katsu (huge portion!) and the sashimi. Highly recommend!

This casual-dining restaurant was terrific on all counts, from food to service, to the point of increasing my heretofore casual interest in this branch of cuisine.

(Honestly, I now want to try almost everything on the menu.) Service was incredibly nice and swift. This may become my Asian go-to downtown now, as the experience was perfect.

Totally worth it and a really great way to spend a Thursday evening. Service is always kind, I tend to go in a small group with the intention of chatting, hanging out, and eating a few bites while we wait for trivia to start. We get in well before trivia so we never have issues with seating, but it starts to fill up as 7 rolls around! The chive bites are a showstopper--my friends and I almost always do 2 orders or more, and we love the sauce and dip everything else in it as well. The boneless wings are delicious and not a bar's typical "chicken nugget"-esque wing, but rather a really great fried bite. Their lemon drop is $6 during happy hour, so how could I not pick that as my drink of choice? And their spicy basil udon with chicken or tofu is delicious every time. Last night when I was there, the owner, Michael, gave us our shots for coming 3rd place in trivia and he was super pleasant! The whole place seems to have tons of events (like a Survivor watchparty night I'd love to catch!!) and just the best vibe ever. Pride flags are abound and it's a really great spot. Worth stopping by! I came for the trivia but found myself wanting to come to do more trivia just to get those happy hour appetizers and that spicy basil udon :)

This is, bar none, one of THE WORST meals I've ever had. I recently stopped in for a takeout lunch…read morefor the first time. Ordered the pork dumplings in hot oil, Udon chicken noodles, and glass noodles with chicken. All were terrible. Normally when I order hot oil dumplings, the amount of hot oil they are tossed in is generous and you sip up the oil with the dumplings. Not here. It's like they just drizzled the dumplings; and they were allegedly steamed, but it tasted more like they were microwaved, which is gross when originally serving a dish in a restaurant. The two noodle dishes were dry and the glass noodles did not have a hint of the garlic sauce they were supposedly cooked in and the chicken was either nuked or boiled. Again, gross. Not even a hint of stir fry and the veggies in the dish were chintzy. The Udon dish was slightly better and it might have been quickly stir fried, as it had some spice to it, but again, the chicken was as dry as in the glass noodle dish and sparse veggies. At $38.48 for this disaster, I felt it was a clear ripoff. I don't mind paying for food but when the quality is at max a 3 out of 10, I'm out. I should have known I was in trouble when I walked in and the dining area was mostly a bar. And that seems to be what this operation is: a bar that happens to serve Asian food. I have no idea how this place is averaging 4.5 for a rating on Yelp. Stay far away.

(My thought, the regular soy sauce would be better. May be my preference. ) The stir fried chicken noodle was quite good. The hot sauce on the side was quite spicy! Great experience. Good staff.

The sauce was similar to Thai seafood sauce, but thicker, with a very strong garlic kick. Mixing it into the rice added a clever touch, cutting through the richness without making it soggy. Long Island Duck Pineapple Curry: Recommended by the owner. My first time trying a sweet and sour curry; the refreshing pineapple balanced well with the rich curry. The duck was just okay, mainly because it was too dry. Mango Sticky Rice: A pleasant surprise; my parents also loved it. The coconut milk had a strong sea salt and caramel flavor, likely due to the addition of coconut sugar or palm sugar. Steamed Vegetables: Just steamed vegetables, without any seasoning. A sprinkle of salt would have made it tastier.
