It was mostly rice in the bowl, and I got a couple bites of one fish that had so much connective tissue, I couldn't bite a piece off. And it was far too big to eat in one bite. Disappointed. They were also severely understaffed. (One sushi chef and one waitress/front of house person.)

So depending on when you go, there may be a lot of foot traffic and its street parking only. They are right next to Marzano. Once you get, there's a a few tables to by the register and then a few tables on the other side. But there is additional seating on the left side. But if you're a large party, it may be hard to sit together as the restaurant is on a smaller side. We ordered takoyaki, fried chicken gyoza, pop rock shrimp for starters. Then order the kids Ramen and kids shrimp dupbap. (If your kids/nephew/niece aren't a fan of sauce on their things, ask for sauce on the side.) Then I had the chicken katsu dupbap and my friend ordered the shrimp spicy Ramen I think. We were too focused on getting the nephews fed, we didn't take a photo of our food. Hahaha. The food was alright. The nephews loved the op rock shrimp so we ordered more of that. Service was alright and the staff was friendly.

Upon asking about it, the server said the manager tells the employees it's the law. That is a LIE.

The katsu was 1/4" thick and basically dry and chewing on like a piece of jerky. So for $27.00 I got half a salad (if that), choked down 4 pieces of Katsu (without Katsu sauce). I called the restaurant and they had a hard time understanding English, told me they would give me a 10% discount which I declined (like I'm going to order from them again). I told them at least 30% since that was how much of my meal I might be able to eat. They told me to call Door Dash since ordered through them. Very disappointed, won't be going back as a Senior on a fixed income. I would recommend only ordering in person and before you take your meal home, look at the entire contents at the counter. Not worth the money. I think new owners who spoke like they were put out that I called and complained.
