This was our second visit…read more We came during a very hectic lunch on Valentine's Day. Under those circumstances, it would be reasonable to expect that the quality of the food and service might not be up to par. But that wasn't the case at all - everything was excellent. Our waitress informed us that the Uni( sea urchin) was fresh. It was exquisite. The Eel Roll was perfect with a nice light sauce. My wife had several pieces of sushi, including egg, which were all very fresh. This restaurant offers a lot of selections that you won't find at your typical sushi establishment. The service was brusque that day because they were so busy - but very efficient. This has become our favorite sushi restaurant.

This place delivers a genuinely great experience overall. The service is warm, professional, and…read morewelcoming--everyone is friendly, articulate, and clearly knows what they're doing. While the staff tends to speak quickly, their personalities and attentiveness more than make up for it, creating an atmosphere that feels both polished and inviting. The atmosphere is largely beautiful, with a thoughtfully designed main space that immediately makes a strong impression. That said, some of the smaller details could use attention: a worn menu, a very small and plainly styled bathroom, peeling paint on the ceiling, and a stray balloon in the corner stand out in contrast to the otherwise elegant setting. The big picture is clearly prioritized here, and while the space still looks great overall, tightening up those finer details would elevate it even more. The drinks are straightforward but effective--flavor-wise they're perfectly fine, but they're generous on the pour, which absolutely earns them five stars. And the sushi is the real standout. The quality of the fish is exceptional--arguably the best in the city. Instead of leaning on Americanized gimmicks, the menu feels much closer to authentic sushi, letting the freshness and craftsmanship speak for themselves. All things considered, this is an excellent spot that balances quality, professionalism, and authenticity, and it absolutely earns a five-star rating.

We stopped in to see this place after the First Friday Sip & Stroll in downtown Portsmouth. We…read moreheard this was a cool little hidden gem, in a building that's been around for a couple hundred years and is partially underground and very "speakeasy like". Super glad we stopped in, the vibe is incredibly comfortable and cool and envelops your soul. Ambience: super cool, comfortable, a little dark, exposed brick walls with plaster patches, hardwood floors, heavy wood and leather furniture, incredible bar that is more like two bars in an L-shape with an unbelievable selection of anything you could ever want. This place is very solid feeling, you just feel safe and tucked in. Service: was fantastic, we met the executive chef named Ty who greeted us before we even sat down, just saw us sitting in the foyer bar and came over to say hello, very cool. We were greeted and seated by an absolute sweetheart upfront named Jackson and our server couldn't have been nicer, her name was Casey. Food: the food is all served tapas style, smaller plates, but well curated with interesting and innovative ingredients with beautiful presentation. Unfortunately, they were out-of four things that my wife wanted, she didn't want all of them simultaneously, she wanted one and they were out, and that happened three more times. Apparently, they often order in smaller batches and buy locally so sometimes they don't have as much as someplace buying in bulk, that's as much a positive as a negative, not a bad thing, just a bit of a bummer that she didn't get her first few choices. She ended up with the duck tacos which were good. We started with the brussels sprouts, which were also good and had nice presentation. We also started with bacon wrapped tots, the dish came with four of them and chili ketchup, beautifully presented, and rich, creamy, crunchy and yummy. I ordered the braised beef and fry bread and it was my favorite thing, very beefy flavored, warm and rich on soft pillowy fry bread with some cool crunch and crispy, thin plantain slices, very good. We started with a Chocolate Cherry Old Fashioned that was delicious. Overall the food was very good and the value was decent at around $12-$16 per plate. Overall: this was a really good experience and I'd go back to try some of the things they were out of and enjoy the incredible bar and stellar, considerate, thoughtful service. Definitely recommend!

However, when I arrived before those times, I was met with hostility and unprofessional behavior. The employee, Michelle, was extremely rude and unwelcoming. When I asked to speak with a manager, she told me there wasn't one available. When I requested the manager's name, she claimed she didn't know. I then asked for the owner's name, and again she said she didn't know. For a first-time customer, this was a completely unacceptable experience. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

They're in a bigger more updated building now with more seating to dine in. The owner and her husband and really nice. The wife seems like a tough cookie because they're normally very busy and she doesn't have time for games. But once you become a regular you'll see shes really sweet. Most of the food on the menu is delicious. They cook it on a grill and it really flavors the food. My go to combo is the steamed shrimp with fried rice, veggies, and butter sauce. It also comes with teriyaki sauce but i always sub it for extra butter. That butter sauce (ghee) will change your life. It makes the shrimp pop!! Its a good portion and a decent price. The beef rolls, chicken rolls, and dumplings are so good when they're hot and fresh. I was bothered because i only got 1 order and should have gotten more... Lol. They made my car ride home enjoyable. It was crumbs everywhere!! The dynamite chicken and the kobe beef are really good also. Very flavorful... I normally get a few things and share it with my kids family style. Its really good food... I am so glad they're still around... Best Japanese food around, hands down!!. Check them out!!!
