Gohan is a Japanese breakfast spot located off King Street next to Easy Music Center. It's got a cozy interior for dine-in only Japanese breakfast sets. They also offer musubi for take out or dine-in. However, I'd highly recommend dining in! There are a couple set meals that come with miso soup (or you can upgrade to a pork soup), tsukemono, and a couple appetizers. They also offer chazuke which is delicious! Everything is made in-house. Food tastes fresh, comforting, and well-balanced. Service is quick and efficient. Meals come out very quickly. You can observe the staff preparing your food if you sit at the counter. The only downside is the parking situation. There's street parking or validated parking in the building, but the validation requires a $25 minimum spend. Chances are better earlier in the morning when street spots are easier to grab. Overall a tasty, healthy, quick meal to grab for breakfast. Recommended!
Who knew? Opens at 8 am sharp! Gohan employees eager to serve you a great breakfast. Parking in the building is available (i don't know if they validate parking) or street parking on either side of King street between 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM This is my take of this establishment 1- can't get better Rice anywhere on this island you'd have to go to Japan to get this type of Rice, the quality and the way they steam and prepare it, by far, the best 2- pricing is more reasonable than many other places I can go for breakfast (average price for breakfast $15 including tip) 3- conveniently located on the ground floor of the 1314 S. King Street building. Walk-in, you'll feel as if you stepped into a shop in Japan. Friendliest service, great pricing, great location, everything's great about this place Go there or be square
Great experience eating here for lunch. Staff were really nice and food was fresh and delicious. My friend and I were able to get seated right away. We arrived at 10:30am and then realized he just missed the breakfast menu option. But it's okay because their regular menu was enough for us. Ordered the pork miso soup. Worth it!!! So tasty and flavorful. They did not skimp on the veggies and thinly sliced pork in the soup. I ordered the tuna mayo, spicy ahi, and unagi. Food came fast and each. My favorite was the spicy ahi! The unagi was a nice thick piece and a perfect amount of spice ahi. Rice is cooked to perfection and everything was seasoned very well. There is a private lot connected to the building. They validate, I think the first hour is free and we must have stayed an extra hour, so paid $2.00 for parking, not bad.
Gohan is located at the Interstate Building where Easy Music Center is located. They're on the ground floor in suite G3. My husband parked as I waited in the car. I had no idea what we were here for. He handed me a brown paper bag with the name, Gohan, on it when he returned. He thought that maybe I wanted to try it out. There were two musubis in the bag: konbu $3.50 and chicken karaage $4.75. They were both yummy. I would say that the rice stood out the most. It was perfection. I liked the umami of the konbu. The chicken kaarage was no longer crispy, which was fine. I liked that they kept the seaweed wrapper separate from the rice. You just wrap it yourself when you're ready to consume it. My husband was laughing at me in the car, because I had the hardest time wrapping it. Yes, I need to go to musubi making school, lol.
I had a nice experience trying the Unagi Dashi Chazuke Set. The flavors were mild and comforting--a satisfying meal. My only note is to watch out for the fine, concentrated section of brush-like bones in the eel, though they were easy enough to separate before diving in. The service was remarkably quick and efficient! I would be interested in revisiting to try the onigiri selections.
Located in the Easy Music center building! I suggest to park in the structure as they validate parking. It was easy in and out. The structure is a little tight though. My hubby and I arrived around 11:30am and it was empty expect for one party of 4. We were seated immediately. Since I'm pregnant, the food options were less for me, but there were still tasty choices. My favorite was the pork kakuni and my husbands favorite was a grilled miso negi. I was full after two rolls, but I hope to return for some raw options in the future!
Been here a few times while waiting for my younger brother to finish up his music lessons at the Easy Music Center next door and I never get tired of their rolls! I've only been here on Saturday mornings and afternoons, and the wait time varies between 10 - 30 minutes. It doesn't seem like there's an online reservation system and you'll be seated on a first come, first served basis based on when you jot down your name on the clipboard a little bit past the entrance. Gohan is on the smaller side and I'd recommend only coming here with a small group of people (no more than four). It may be difficult to eat here if you have a wheelchair or a stroller because of the lack of space. The space is really clean and they offer disposable wipes on the table for you to wipe your hands with. Even though I don't personally eat any seafood, they have a few non-seafood options that I absolutely love. My favorite is the pork kakuni hand roll ($4.95/roll as of 6/2026)! The meat itself is very tender and coated in a savory sauce. Be warned that it can get *very* messy to eat haha. I love that they have a set menu as well as daily specials! They're pretty active on Instagram (@gohan.hawaii) and you can look at the daily specials on their story before heading over. I really like looking out for any new drinks and desserts, but maybe that's because I have a bit of a sweet tooth. From their set menu though, I highly recommend the Vietnamese Coffee drink! Doesn't have a strong coffee taste and has just the right amount of sweetness to it. Parking wise, you'll either need to find street parking or park in the parking structure attached to the building. You can validate your parking ticket at Gohan once you pay for your food. Do note that the validation may only provide a large discount and that you might have to pay a couple of dollars or so when you leave the structure.
TL;DR: Gohan serves a solid Japanese breakfast on select days of the week, consisting of a musubi bento or chazuke along with side dishes including a rich pork miso soup. Parking validation for 1 hr ($25 spend required). 1/FOOD: We came to Gohan for their Japanese breakfast service which happens on select days of the week. We got both the musubi bento and the chazuke. Both were delicious! The bento came with a pork miso soup which was rich and flavorful, much more than standard miso soup. The latter didn't come with the soup, but that's because it is soup. Definitely get the chazuke rice grilled and add ikura! Sides included traditional Japanese pickles. A typical Japanese breakfast comes with grilled fish. They offer grilled salmon and mackerel here, but it doesn't come with the set. Order it separately! They also have takeout bento and musubi not on the standard menu at the front... check it out for takeaway. 2/SERVICE: It gets busy with limited seating. If you have two people or less, the counter is a good option. They do have tables as well for larger groups, or for two people if they're not busy and you ask. The staff is very much Japanese. 3/LOCATION: It's in an office building which means there is a parking garage.You get validated parking, but you need to spend $25 to get 1 hour validated... otherwise you only get 30 minutes.
Came here on a weekday during breakfast hours. Fortunately did not have to wait in line. I love the simplicity of the menu here and reliable deliciousness of an onigiri. We got two breakfast sets with two onigiri each, miso soup, and tsukemono. Also got a karaage hand roll that had very tender & juicy chicken meat. It was very filling and the restaurant itself almost felt like we were back in Japan. Would definitely come again to dine in or pick up onigiri to go.
Gohan is a cute little restaurant with limited seating. From what I saw, there was one table for 2, one table for 6, and two tables for 4, so it feels more like a cozy neighborhood spot rather than a large dine-in restaurant. I can't give a full review since I didn't dine in, but I ordered the chicken karaage, kakuni, and the Ume Shirasu Musubi. The musubi itself was good quality -- they use high-quality rice, which definitely makes a difference. I also liked that the nori was given separately so it stayed crisp instead of getting soggy. The only reason I took off a star was because I expected the musubi to be freshly made when ordering. Instead, they handed me one that was already sitting on the shelf for customers to grab, so the rice was cold. I think if someone orders directly, it should be made fresh with warm rice. Overall, the ingredients and flavors were solid, and I'd still be interested in trying more items in the future.
Had a lovely Friday morning breakfast here with a friend who was running late, and the server was so nice timing it so our food came at the perfect time! We both got the salmon and ikura ochazuke with grilled rice and it was so nourishing and satisfying to start the day. Loved the little assortments of pickles on the side too. No problem finding parking nearby and there were plenty available seats still. Would love to come back :)
We went on a Wednesday morning at a little after 8:00 am, they have just opened and already had a few customers. It is a very cute, nicely decorated and quaint shop, they have a few counter seats and a few tables. We ordered the breakfast musubi platter, it comes with two musubis (you can choose different toppings from the list), it included three small appetizers and miso soup; all for $13.95. Today, the three appetizers were gobo, japanese pickles and grilled tofu with salmon. Oh, I think It is a must to upgrade the soup to the special pork miso soup for an additional $2; it was hot, full of pork and vegetables and so delicious, a perfect match for the warm musubi. We chose the musubis with tuna mayo, mentaiko, saba and salmon; they were served with crispy nori sheets; all very delicious. They also use the good imported Japanese rice, which I think they also sell in bags. Sorry, I forgot to take pictures of the food until we were almost finished eating. They have two bottles of Japanese chili flakes on the tables; we really like the seven spice blend flakes. It is a little spicy with a super nice citrus smell; add a little to the warm musubi and it will take it to the next level. The service was friendly, courteous and efficient, everything you will expect from an authentic Japanese restaurant. There are visitors parking in the building, the typical QR code parking system; the first hour is free, and I think they also validate. There were many customers coming in for takeout iced coffee and musubi. I think next time we will try the coffee. I can't wait to come back and try the other musubis.
Friendly and fun! It's taken me a long time to eat here....their hours don't line up with my schedule, so it's been a little tricky to eat here. But worth the wait! The restaurant in on the smaller side, but definitely a nice size. It looks like they are equipped for dine in service, as well as take out food. The waitstaff and workers her are very nice and pleasant to deal with. Everyone was kind and full of smiles. I was able to eat here with a friend when they opened in the morning at 8am...hand rolls for breakfast is a win! We sat at the bar seating and I tried... Chicken karaage hand roll Aburi salmon hand roll Unagi hand roll Tonjiru soup All of it was good, but the unagi was definitely my favorite...so soft and yummy The hand rolls were made in front of us while we watched. They dont have a 'real' kitchen, but they make it work. It was fun to watch how they create the delicious hand rolls. Ill be back to try some of the other items!

Went on a Friday afternoon and waited about 25 min for a spot for 4. Overall the musubi weren't amazing, but they were solid and the price wasn't bad. The standout were the grilled musubis. The mentai cheese was a crowd favorite and the shoyu was also delish. We tried some specials and though they were solid it didn't blow us away. Good rice quality and good service. We had about 3-4 musubis each. Hope they come out with more grilled options. read more

I went to try this new place today. I've been hearing and reading reviews about Gohan recently so I thought I would give it a try. My daughter goes to appointments in the building so we saw it yesterday as we were leaving, but they were closed. They aren't open for dinner, only morning hours. Parking is easy for this place. There's parking on king street. It's that weird parking where you park and then there's a gap where the bikers ride and then the meters on the other side of that. I parked in the lot. It's so much easier in the lot. I just enter the parking lot and go to visitor parking. When I got to Gohan there were a lot of people waiting outside. If you're getting take out like how I was, just walk past them into the restaurant. Those people are waiting for a table to sit inside. Those who are waiting have to write their name on a clipboard on a list. If you want take out, they have a couple of tables on the left side that have all their musubis that were made. I asked the worker if that was all there was or if we could order more from the menu. He said I could order more from the menu and they will make it. I was bringing lunch for my mom, dad, and two sisters. And of course my husband and daughter were putting their requests in. So since I had to bring lunch for many people I bought a lot. I wasn't sure how many each person wanted. I got 3 mentaiko, 3 salmon, 2 konbu, 1 pork kakuni, 5 chicken karaage, yaki onigiri, grilled unagi, and salmon ikura. I wanted the shrimp tempura but they said they didn't have any today. The karaage wasn't on the stand so I had to wait for them to make it. He said it would take around 20 minutes. I said I would wait. He forgot to charge me for the salmon ikura and rang me up again. But in the end when I got my bag the salmon ikura wasn't in there. Well my family didn't eat too much and I had a ton of leftovers. I really liked the mentaiko and the konbu one. My sister had the karaage one and the mentaiko one and she said she liked the mentaiko one better than the chicken. She said because the chicken wasn't hot and she felt she couldn't heat it up in the microwave because it was topped with mayonnaise. Overall I thought the musubis were pretty good. I liked that they give you the nori on the side so the nori stays crisp when you put it on. Maybe next time we go there we can try the tempura and karaage. I think they will taste better if they are fresh and hot. read more
Wow! Amazing fresh warm musubi! Go early for no crowds and great service. It's especially great to sit at the bar so you can see the chefs preparing the musubi. The pork miso soup was delicious but the musubi amazing. Made from Japanese rice, they are flavorful without additional seasonings other than the fillings. Tried a variety and all were great. Loved them all...unagi, spicy tuna, double spicy tempura shrimp, hamachi jalapeños, salmon ikura, and bonito cheese grilled musubi! read more

It's a pleasant surprise to see a Japanese onigiri specialty restaurant open in Honolulu. Places like this that are famous in Japan often amass long lines with hours-long wait times. I was free for lunch on Gohan's grand opening day so I decided to check it out. We were told a wait time of 30 minutes, so we killed some time in Easy Music next door first. The interior of the restaurant is quite nice with traditional Japanese elements. There's table seating and a bar that allows you to see the chefs in action. The employees were all extremely kind and checked in on us frequently. Here's what we tried: Tonjiru pork miso soup - A must-have. Their version is rich and full of vegetables and pork. Add the yuzu shichimi they give for a refreshing spice. Spicy ahi handroll (special) - Good quality fish and fresh nori, can't go wrong. Hamachi jalapeno handroll (special) - Liked this even more than the ahi. Hamachi was nicely marinated. Tuna mayo onigiri - Classic but could have used slightly more filling. Bonito/shoyu cheese grilled musubi - I loved the unique twist on these. The cream cheese filling went well with the savory sauce. Spicy karaage handroll - Didn't try this but was told the karaage itself tasted better on its own. Overall I was very satisfied with my meal! We were in and out within an hour. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu. read more
What a cute little spot to grab breakfast/lunch! They have a little grab & go section in the front to take out onigiris, if you're on the go. I sat down and got to explore their expanded dine-in menu. I had the hamachi handroll, spicy ahi handroll, and the mentaiko cheese yakionigiri. My usual gripes with onigiris/musubis/handrolls is that restaurants typically are stingy with the filling. HOWEVER, Gohan was very generous with their fillings!!! The yakionigiri may take up to 10 minutes to make, but mine came out pretty quickly as it was slow when I went. ++ Service is very friendly! read more

Came here when they had just opened. Very friendly staff, but a bit disorganized. They appeared overwhelmed and still trying to get their legs under them for the amount of interest. The two individuals focusing on preparing the orders are focused on just that. Being patient and giving them the latitude to get past, the growing pains makes experience five stars, cause everything we ordered was delicately prepared and delicious. To circle back to the growing pains, we also ordered a Matcha and Vietnamese, coffee, which were completely forgotten. There was also a little confusion as who ordered what. The restaurant is small with a modern look and limited seating. As for parking, we were able to find street parking. read more

Love this place! Sometimes there's a wait but still worth it. Recommend the spicy ahi, mentaiko cheese, and the jalapeño Hamachi. We have brought our baby here and the staff has been super friendly and accommodating. I hope they bring back the otoro with ikura some day because that was delicous. Was not super into the specials with wagyu or the scallop. They have parking but I prefer the street parking because the lot is super busy and limited stalls. read more
A must try new musubi restaurant. Gotta come right when it's open , it can get busy here. Parking is not so easy as well. Food here is very good musubi made to perfection, soup is one of the best I've had. Very nicely done inside this place very clean and very spacious for sitting. read more
We got here at 8:10am on a Saturday morning. We found street parking. There was a line but most customers were doing take-out. There was one couple who sat at the counter, like we did. What they got right: - Food! Everything we tried was delicious! - The rice was cooked perfectly. - The ingredients: tonkatsu, tonjiro, mentaiko and karaage were cooked perfectly and served at the right temperatures. - service was pleasant. Areas for improvement: - More signage on seating would be appreciated. Maybe a separate line for take-out orders and dine-in customers? First come first serve is ok too. I feel people nowadays, myself included, can be impatient. If you are polite and patient, your experience will be rewarded. read more

Validated parking but still cost me 6 dollars. We checked out this place yesterday and it was so good! We had the pork miso soup, Hamachi special, spicy tuna handroll and other rolls. Highly recommended and great quality of sushi and rice. Affordable pricing as well. Just opened November 1, 2024 Great service and ambiance. read more

As soon as you step in, it feels like a small cozy and modern Japanese restaurant. Everything was super tasty! The ume Hijiki Musubi had very light amounts of Hijiki and crunchy ume but still seasoned throughout the whole Musubi. Unagi hand roll was good as well! Our favorite was the pork miso soup and grilled mentaiko musubi. The miso that savory and umami with a lot of yummy veggies inside. The grilled meintako was very crunchy on the outside with cream cheese and meintaiko, the combination works rly well! Service was really attentive, will come back soon read more

Affordable and yummy breakfast spot! Spicy Tuna Handroll: fresh tuna without an overpowering mayo favor. Must get. 5/5 Musubi Breakfast set: I got the tuna and salmon, and both were solid. I would say I prefer the tuna a tad bit more but it comes down to preference. 4.6/5 read more

Gohan is one of those places that manages to hit a surprising number of notes for what is, at its core, a musubi shop on King Street. The setup is fast-casual, but you can tell someone with taste designed the space -- warm wood, clean lines, and a general sense of quiet order that makes you feel like you're in good hands. You can see the staff preparing everything behind the counter, and there's something oddly comforting about watching them torch a musubi like they really mean it We got the mentai cheese grilled musubi, the salmon musubi, and the grilled unagi handroll. The unagi handroll was so good we ordered another one on the spot. I don't say that lightly -- the balance of smoky eel, warm rice, and crisp nori was spot on, and not in a flashy way, just executed really, really well The mentai cheese grilled musubi came dangerously close to earning a second round too, but it's a lot of rice and we hit capacity. The salmon musubi, done in the traditional triangle onigiri style, was... fine. It's hard for something that plain to compete with cheese and unagi. Bonus points for having a wide range of pre-made options for people in a hurry read more

This place is truly a hidden gem - and since it only opened in November, I suspect that in a few months it'll blow up in popularity. Though the ambiance and presentation feel incredibly upscale, the prices are incredibly competitive with Iyasume Musubi Cafe. I would say the key difference between the two would be that Gohan is a more elevated experience, while Iyasume caters more to the grab and go crowd with their pre wrapped musubi. In terms of strictly taste, we definitely recommend Gohan over Iyasume just due to the fact that when dining in, their musubi and hand rolls are all made to order, so the nori is crispy! (Gohan offers some grab and go musubi as well, as shown in the photos, but we didn't get a chance to try them). In addition, the house blend of salt they use is pretty special, with notes of what we think is yuzu. In all honesty, this is just as good as some of the breakfasts we had in Japan. Here's what we ordered! - Spicy Tuna Handroll: Definitely a must order while it's on the menu. Delicious, fresh ahi paired with warm rice makes this an easy winner. The spicy mayo also isn't too spicy where it'll turn away people who typically shy away from spicy foods. - Special Pork Miso Soup: No Japanese breakfast is complete without soup, and we were blown away by this. One of my common complaints with "premium" miso soup is that it often just tastes just like regular miso soup but with some additional protein in it - but not this! The ingredients they put inside completely change the classic miso soup in the best way possible - honestly the best miso soup I've had to date, a must order. (Pro tip: if you use the yuzu flakes, it'll change the flavor miso soup again for two different ways to enjoy it!) - Unagi Handroll: Soft, buttery unagi. We enjoyed this a lot as well! The unagi is tender and just melts in your mouth. - Mentaiko Cheese Grilled Musubi: Incredibly fragrant and slightly charred on the exterior for a slightly crispy exterior. When you get towards the center, the cream cheese further enhances the fragrance of the aroma and the mentaiko provides a nice salty, savory bite. - Shoyu Cheese Grilled Musubi: More or less the same as the Mentaiko, minus the mentaiko. Not that it wasn't good, but was a bit too similar to the mentaiko cheese, so we probably could have went without this one in lieu of a different flavored musubi. - Tuna Mayo Musubi: We got this at one of the server's recommendation! I'm not big on tuna mayo so I was slightly apprehensive about this, but really enjoyed it when I tried it. The salt they use pairs really well with the tuna mayo and the mayo isn't overwhelming either (my partner, who normally hates mayo, liked it). The flavoring of their salt really shines in their regular musubi. - Black Sesame Ice Cream: I'm not big on black sesame, but I loved this as well! Dusted with kinako powder and brown sugar syrup, the taste profile was quite reminiscent of warabimochi I've had in Japan. Again, I highly recommend ordering this while it's on the limited menu. Overall, we loved the experience. The open concept kitchen was also incredibly cute and it was so nice watching the staff prepare the rice, eggs, and musubi. Definitely sit at the bar if you have a chance! As a note: they also validate parking for 30 minutes, so feel free to park in the garage (it's 2 dollars every half an hour - we stayed for 37 minutes and the validation rounded it down to 0). The storefront is also easily missed while driving (we didn't see any signs for it outside), so just go into the parking garage and when you enter the building, you'll find Gohan in the ground floor of the lobby. read more

The food is delicious. You can find out how high the quality of the rice is and it's been perfectly cooked. Not sure if there is only one staff to serve who is a little bit busy but still offers good service. The shop is very clean with a chill dining vibe. I used to not eat much but after the first one, I found it super tasty so I added the second. About parking, they will validate for 30 minutes ($2/0.5 hour) however, you need to spend over $25. If go along, street parking is probably a better deal. read more

First time trying this restaurant. Parking is limited and you need to scan a QR code to pay. Parking for 1 hr was $2, very reasonable. The restaurant is small, with some tables and counter seating. Very cozy. Made us feel like we were in Japan. Service wonderful 5/5. We sat at the counter so we could watch the chefs make the onigiris and hand rolls right in front of us. Great experience. They have a daily special menu and a small everyday menu. We want to come back to try their other specials soon. We ordered the special pork belly miso soup, special Italian grilled musubi, grilled unagi handroll, hamachi jalapeño hand roll, pork Kakuni handroll, spicy ahi handroll, konbu nori musubi. Everything was very yummy 5/5. Definitely coming back to try more from their menus. read more

Emily R. was raving about how good this place was and that I had to check it out. Because of this highly recommended by her, I planned a day sit hang out with my mom and aunt. It's located on the first floor of the Interstate Building, facing S King St. There's a paid parking garage for visitors on the lowest floor with rates of $2 per 30 mins. Thankfully, the restaurant validates! For every $20 spent, they give 30 min of parking validation. As this shop is a hand roll/musubi restaurant, we couldn't share any of the food except for the grilled musubi. We shared the Mentai Cheese grilled musubi, and it was really good! There was a good amount of cream cheese, and the mentaiko was delicious! I personally ordered the Fresh Spicy Tuna Handroll, Mentaiko Musubi, and Pork Kakuni Handroll. The best, and all our favorite, was definitely the spicy tuna handroll. It was minced ahi and was very very fresh with really good flavor. I don't think there was mayo which was probably why my mom and aunt really liked it as well. It was so good that my mom had to get another order of it LOL. The mentaiko musubi was kind of meh in my opinion. It didn't have that fragrance, lacking in flavor, the grilled musubi had. The pork kakuni was seasoned very well and was another one of my favorites. It wasn't a super fatty piece, thankfully, and quite big! There was a random lettuce which threw me off but greens are good, haha! Aside from the ones I got, my mom got their Grilled Unagi handroll. She didn't care for it as much as the spicy tuna one. My aunt got their Grilled Saba Musubi (not bad; just a bit too fishy for me which she liked) and Spicy Double Shrimp (yummy flavor but a bit sad, honestly. The shrimp tempura wasn't even crunchy - just limp). All of us also agreed that besides the spicy tuna being the best, the rice and nori were really fresh and delicious. If it weren't for these main two components, I don't think any of the dishes would have been as good. Overall, this was a pleasant lunch! It was rice heavy I definitely would love to come back for more of their spicy tuna and try their other items. read more

I was really surprised with this place. I hear it gets busy so I would go on a weekday if possible. We parked at the top of the parking lot then we're seated right away. We tried all kinds of rolls and everything was good. I think this is the BEST spicy ahi roll I ever had! The service was quick and they were really nice. We liked it so much I bought some for my in laws to try At home too. The only thing is that I wished the hours were later so we could come after work :) read more
The ambiance was cute, inviting, and intimate. We arrived a little after opening and were seated immediately as there was no wait. We ordered 4 out of 5 of the specials and one item from their regular menu. The food came out quickly. The rice was warm and sooo good. The fresh fish was definitely fresh with great sauce pairings. Out of the 5 items ordered, there was one item I did not like. The taste for the Ikura and Salmon was unsettling. I also was not expecting canned salmon with that musubi. I would go back and order the 4 items again and try a few other things. read more
Went here because of all the hype surrounding this new place! We were seated pretty quickly despite the long waitlist. The service was quick and attentive. The restaurant is small, but bustling with staff and patrons. The food is amazing!! The spicy tuna hand roll is definitely the stand out, but their karage hand roll, hamachi hand roll, and grilled musubi were all delicious. We will definitely return very soon. read more

Fantastic made to order food in reasonable prices. Rice is warm, proteins are appropriately portioned, and nori crisp. Service is quick and seating is limited to about twenty people. Ambiance is clean and simple with natural woods and tasteful dragonball z decor. There is a parking deck in the building and gohan provides validation of thirty minutes. I came on a Friday around 10AM and was able to find seating without a problem. read more

Cozy spot for breakfast or brunch. They offer a variety of musubi, onigiri, handrolls, and more. I tried both the eel and the spam teriyaki -- generous with the protein portions, which was nice. Parking is a bit of a pain, you either have to park on the street or park inside the structure. They do validate which will knock it down to $2. read more

First time we were able to sit inside the restaurant. I've done takeout before and the onigiri was delicious. We decided to try the hand rolls and miso soups. We ordered a few rolls unagi, spicy ahi, tuna and salmon. We also tried 2 grilled onigiri. Shoyu and mentai cream cheese. The rice is fluffy and very nice. Have to go again for lunch and try some other rolls. read more
Greeted and seated right away! Servers and staff are very friendly! Delicious and quality food! I had to try a little of everything and was totally happy with it all! The parking was full so we had to find street parking. I will definitely be back again! read more
We came here to check out the new hot place. We got seated pretty quickly and the menu looks delicious. We ordered a few special handrolls - hamachi jalapeño and some assorted others. We also got the pork miso soup which was good! Lots of good flavors. The handrolls are made fresh and are large, packed with the fish! All that's left is for them to do is serve a nice cold beer!! Parking is on the street and the staff was very nice and friendly. read more

I regret standing in line to get into this place. It was just okay. Out the gates, the turnoff is the young waitstaff. No smiles, no welcoming demeanor. Looked like they didn't want to be there. Their whole job is to take your order on a handheld device, bring you water in small paper cups, & bring out your orders (though the chefs behind the table share this task), but the waitstaff are leaning on the counter, and forget calling them over. The owners and chefs are more personable, but they're busy behind the counter making the musubi. As for the musubi, they're ok. I think you can find the same at Iyasume and Nana-bu's, etc. without the sit-down prices. The presentation is beautiful. Get some attentive workers, and I might return. 1-star off for poor service. I feel generous. Disappointed. read more
