Located in the Haymarket, parking can be a bit of a challenge, but it's absolutely worth it. The…read morerestaurant has a great setup inside with an open kitchen and sushi bar. Seating is limited, but it feels cozy and intimate. The staff was outstanding from the greeter to the servers, friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The menu has a great variety, from ramen and teriyaki boxes to rice dishes and sushi. We started with the soft shell crab appetizer, which was incredibly fresh with a light, perfectly crisp tempura batter. For our main course, we went with a selection of sushi, and it was phenomenal. The fish was extremely fresh, served at the perfect temperature, and every flavor paired beautifully. One thing I really appreciated is they don't smother their sushi in sauces, they let the freshness and quality of the fish speak for itself, the way it should. Quite possibly the best sushi in town!!

I opened the menu and what do you know. It's RIGHT THERE on the menu. I then asked for ponzu, a basic staple at sushi restaurants, she said no we don't have it. So we asked again and what do you know. THEY DO HAVE IT. We had to flag down other servers to add items to our order. We got a blank state from all staff, zero personal attention or acknowledgement. ZERO SMILES or basic human decency for their patrons. Sushi was okay. If you actually like sushi and eat it a lot this place won't impress you. Huge menu of the same 3 fish offered in different combinations. Some of which didn't taste fresh. The Jalapeño appetizer was raw jalapeño and unmelted cream cheese that was served cold when marked it as being "deep fried". Horrific service will keep me from giving this business my money in the future.

Service was slow, disjointed and the (mostly young) employees seemed overwhelmed and confused. The food; however, was fantastic! We visited again on 05/04/23 and what a difference! From the moment we walked in we were greeted pleasantly, seated quickly and waited on both efficiently and pleasantly. The atmosphere is really fun! Music from the golden years of 1900's hip hop, anime on the TVs and very hip Japanese inspired decor. The food is so flavorful and unique! I'm excited to go back and try more options from the menu. I find myself thinking about these piping hot bowls of deliciousness when I should be working, or driving or sleeping. We will be back, quite often I'm guessing.

We got in around 7 pm. Ordered at the cashier and food was brought to us within 15 minutes. Unfortunately, it wasn't as expected. Portion was not as expected. Thin layer of supposedly rice but tasted more like boxed couscous that was microwaved. The sauce and the beef was oversalted. Lots of onion and cilantro. Over heavy onion. It wasnt cheap for that either. Wont be back. I've never been so disappointed in a restaurant before.

Update review: Food…read morestill good. Ambiance still good. We just realized that you cannot order the habachi grill set for 2 unless it is happy hours and it wasnt stated on the menu. We pointed it out and the server asked his manager. Manager pointed out that fhe menu is stated that it was named happy hour. Suggest they specifically put that on the menu. That said food still tasted good and is fresh. Thank you Koen for saving us a few bucks. Because i picked a different dish.and our overall bill was reduced. However, i also noticed reduction in the sizes of the meal probably due to the economy. In my dolsot bibimbap, there was much lesser meat, much lesser vegetables than before. The proportion of rice appeared to have grown. Looks like other patrons have noticed too. Might be awhile before we came back. Be mindful- habachi grill menu allows for one person n three people to order. The one named happy hour for two ppl cannot be ordered until its happy hour. Feels like they are penalising couples who want to both have their habachi. Remember that and save some moolah!!!!

Located on 48th St in the Centro Mall Plaza…read more We stopped in because they offered Takoyaki on the menu and I was not disappointed. The place was quiet and clean. The seating area was well spaced apart. They had a large isle of plants beside where you would line up to order. There was even a small fish tank on the side wall. While the place was empty, it looked like they may be times when the space gets busier: hence the gaming section near the front. We ordered: Mango Slushie - it was a thick delicious shake consistency and had chunks of red Mango or jello at the bottom; Vietnamese Coffee - my personal Vice is the sweet Asian Iced Coffees and Iced Teas. This was refreshing to me on many levels; and the Takoyaki appetizer - scrumptious octopus balls with a savory mayo-teriyaki sauce and what looked like paper-thin bonito flakes that waved from the heat of the dish. A brilliant touch. Perhaps next time we will try out some more of their "boba" drinks, but I am definitely ordering the Takoyaki appetizer again. Support your local businesses.
