You can scan the QR code to pull up the menu. It was in both Spanish and English. The menu was extensive, a little something for everyone. There was ramen, rice bowl, udon, sushi, sashimi, shabu, maki, nigiri, etc.   I tried the maguro mix don that had chu-toro, o-toro, and akami on top of white rice. This was a perfectly balanced meal. A good fatty texture on the sashimi. Rice to fish ratio was also good. It was refreshing from all the food we've been eating in CDMX. We all enjoyed our don and ramen.   Service was a bit slow regarding when our food came out but they brought out everyone's food at the same time. The restroom was clean as well. The indoor seating looks spacious. Overall, we enjoyed our meal here and would recommend this spot if you're looking for Japanese food in the Roma Norte area.

We decided to go for it. We took a few seats at the bar. Sort of like a sushi bar vibe which was fine. We ordered miso soup, edamame, Tonkatsu ramen, gyudon and curry udon. I also got a single piece of fatty tuna or otoro. The ramen was tasty and the noodles were a bit firm which was good as I didn't have to rush to finish them before they went soggy. The pork Chashu was very pleasantly smoky and the egg was perfect. My son had the curry udon and the curry broth was beefy and flavorful with nice chunks of beef , the noodle had good springy texture. My wife's gyudon was very good as well and we took notice that the rice was short grain and authentically Japanese. I enjoyed the zesty pickled ginger that came with it too. Very good. Edamame we're just fine as well. Unfortunately, they forgot our miso soup but didn't forget to put it on the bill. We waited ten minutes after asking for the check and another ten waiting for them to correct the bill. Too long.. I also asked for a box to go but there was a misunderstanding and they tried to bring me saké. I think the music was simply too loud so "caja" (box) sounded like "sake" with the blaring music overhead. Just a bit frustrating. Overall, really quite good but the lax service and several mistakes prevent me from giving a higher rating. Really about 3.5 stars. I'd suggest turning the music down just a bit and reading/expediting orders more carefully. And when someone requests the bill don't leave them waiting for ten+ minutes. Also, there's no menu pics at the moment on Yelp but there is an extensive menu. If you're craving ramen or Japanese food in CDMX I'd recommend this place. Thanks! Domo Arigato Gozaimasu!

The miso soup was incredible, and we also had bok choy, edamame, and a few pieces of sushi. Everything was so fresh and some of the best quality sushi I've had in a long time. The space itself is small, intimate, and so cute. You can sit right in front of where everything is being prepared and watch them slice the fish and put each dish together. Silverio was wonderful. My friend had never tried raw sushi before, and he took the time to guide us, make recommendations, and explain what we were trying. She ended up loving it! He was incredibly kind and made the whole experience feel so welcoming and personal. You can really feel the attention and care that goes into the food and the experience here.
