The atmosphere is…read morewarm, lively, and authentic--exactly what you'd expect if you stepped into a neighborhood spot in Japan. One of the highlights (especially for families) is the robot cat servers. They're a hit with everyone at the table, from kids to adults, and they genuinely add to the fun without feeling gimmicky. The food is excellent and checks all the Izakaya boxes: yakitori, gyoza, and my personal favorite--takoyaki--are all done right. On top of that, they also offer sushi, ramen, and full entrée dishes, so there's something for every appetite. Drink options are just as solid, with Japanese sodas, green tea, and a good selection of Japanese alcoholic beverages. This is a great spot for the whole family and an especially awesome place to host a birthday dinner for teens. We brought a 13- and 14-year-old group, and it was a perfect balance of fun, great food, and a relaxed environment. Highly recommended if you want good Japanese food and a memorable experience.

My only complaint is that all of the ramen broth is pork as I would have loved to have some ramen but I have a pork allergy. That said, the udon broth was very tasty and had a clean but bold flavor. It is probably one of my favorite broths I've had. You use the QR code on the table to order and the robot brings you your food. Our server also helped put stuff on our table from the robot. It's a very cute robot and sings about people being in the way as well as your table number. Everything we had was cooked well or assembled great. I really want to come back and try some of their other sushi rolls. The salmon belly was torched just right and the mayo complimented it well. The yellowtail was unique and the sesame paired well with it along with the pepper. I wasn't a big fan of the beef skewer because it was a bit sweet. The inari sushi has spicy mayo in it and I enjoyed it. The shumai stays hot for a while so just be careful. The green tea stayed warm throughout our date and was nice and hot when it first came out. The prices are incredibly reasonable and I felt the fish was very fresh. Our server answered all of our questions, which is how I ended up with udon instead of ramen. My spouse said his curry was delicious and he devoured it.

Hadn't been to this restaurant in a long time and wanted to bring a date here to have sushi. The…read morerestaurant was about half full on a Tuesday evening. My date arrived before me and got a table and some tea, when I arrived we ordered some miso soup which came piping hot and delicious and we ordered four different rolls of sushi. We got a California roll, we got a son-in-law mango roll which was shrimp tempura topped with crispy spicy tuna and mango and it was absolutely delicious, it was probably the most favorite of the four rolls that we got. We also had their first year roll which was an anniversary sushi roll and had Old Bay crab meat, avocado, and shrimp tempura style. To cap off the four rolls, we got a spider roll which is soft shell crab, cucumber, and roe. They were all really good but the son in law mango roll was probably the best and our favorite of the four. My date had never had sticky rice with mango and that's one of my favorite desserts ever. So we got one to share and she loved it and it was different than I had had in other places and it was really good and really tasty. This place offers a lot of unique sushi as well as unique dishes. I think the last time I was here I had a combination of sushi and a regular dish from the menu. Our waiter was fantastic and our service was great. Every time I water glasses were a little low he came by and refill them and got us another pot of tea. I can't say enough about our experience last night and I highly recommend this restaurant and I look forward to going back.

I wish we did the shrimp catching challenge, the chef asked kind of quietly, and some of the members of our party said no, but the others would've liked to try it. The chefs and servers had excellent service. They brought everything promptly and served everything accurately, being mindful of all allergies and preferences as well. Fried rice and lo mein were very flavorful. The filet mignon was cooked, medium rare for me as I requested and was delicious. The scallions and shrimp were cooked very very well and super flavorful with lemon and butter. The vegetables were also delicious. The portions were large and the accompanying Yum Yum sauce and ginger sauce were great. I had the mango martini and it was a little bit too strong for me and not my favorite but they do have happy hour. I have not tried their sushi so that is not factored into my rating.

We started with their Strawberry Milk Tea and Brown Sugar Boba -- both perfect sips For starters, the steamed pork gyoza and yellowtail jalapeño were simple but packed with flavor. We also shared the karaage bao bun, plus a few sushi rolls -- the Hollywood Roll and Ocean King Roll ended up being our favorites. One dish you don't want to miss is the udon noodles with fried rice and grilled shrimp... seriously so comforting. And of course, I had the sliced beef ramen -- warm, flavorful, and cozy. A little insider tip: Hibachi is now available at the Towson location -- a perfect excuse to try something new.

Unfortunately for me, I showed up for lunch. Compared to other Thai restaurants in the area, I found that the curry here is a bit thicker which I prefer. I thought they did an excellent job grilling the eggplant in the curry too, which I haven't had before. But what made me the happiest was that they are suuuper generous with the bamboo shoots here, and the green beans are fresh. Loved the extra crunch. The inside was decorated so well for Halloween and the staff here is super attentive. I'm not the biggest fan of malls, but I'd definitely come back here.
