Love the ambience and presentation of this cozy restaurant. We shared a table on this busy day,…read morewhich was fine by me. They had specials on the board, so I chose sashimi over rice with miso soup, while my kid chose the ramen. The food is billed as homemade Japanese food. I felt their take on Japanese food was just OK, despite the presentation being beautiful. For my dish, the amount of rice was overwhelming compared to the sashimi, which was cut very thin compared to sashimi I'm used to , so the imbalance made little sense. I left a large clump of rice despite the effort. Ramen is something we've had so much of in different restaurants, but their take with their broth was below average. (I should mention my kid was very happy though. It's just my picky take) I'd say this is a fun little stop on a cute street, with food not being the star.

The first time I heard of this place is when my friend asked me to grab lunch with him here. I am…read moreso thankful that he did.

Ok. Now for the negatives. Wait staff appeared untrained and unsupervised. My server repeatedly ran his fingers through his hair while having a long conversation with a sushi chef, and with his back to the house. Meanwhile two four top tables were waiting. Another server was snacking behind the counter. Another violation of basic restaurant hygiene. These are fixable problems. With more hands on management this could be a great restaurant.

Quality/Quantity - Simple menu done well and very…read moreaffordable, see my many pictures of the menu. Some pre-made choices, but the best is to order at the self service kiosk. Menu options are: Sushi & Salad, Noodle Bowls, Rice Bowls, Soups, Snacks, Appetizers, Dessert, cold or hot drinks. They do not give large quantities, but that is part of the reason it is affordable, so buy two if needed. They are even in grocery stores now. Atmosphere - Medium size fast casual Japanese restaurant. Two stories at this location. Open 7 days a week, see websites or Yelp for specific hours. Service - Self service kiosk, fairly quick service. Price - Very reasonable, inexpensive; especially for tourist areas. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1997 with your 80+ locations.

Not bad but not great…read more The food is fairly fresh but not a lot of fish options. I'm on travel so I can't judge what's available in the area but it was decent.

They have Sushi at a reasonable price and offer a nice variety of fish including sweet shrimp and fatty tuna. There is a specials menu offering more authentic food, and the main menu offers some of the standard fare you expect plus some slightly more interesting dishes.
