    We had a wonderful time! Service was excellent and food was delicious. We really enjoyed the amaebi head miso soup, deep fried baby shrimp and the Omakase Chirashi. We will definitely be back for more!

    Food was excellent, our previous experience with the quality of the food always brings us back here to dine. However our service was disappointing: not so friendly waitress (rarity) and feeling rushed to get our food ordered and eaten. It could be that another very large group of people made this small izakaya a little stressed but nevertheless we were disappointed. We were a party of 4 with 2 guests from the mainland and so looked forward to this special dinner.

    The food is all appetizing, especially 5 kinds of Sashimi and chicken karaage are fantastic.

    Our party of 3 had to wait 20 minutes because an earlier large party of 8 overstayed their time frame. A special $60 fried fish was very small & full of bones that were inedible because it was under cooked and not crunchy.

    We were able to make a last minute reservation here on a Friday night. We had ordered from them before thru DoorDash and I like their chirashi bowls the most of anywhere I’ve tried because they have everything I want, so wanted to eat there in person. Although some of the parking stalls are a little challenging to get out of, the food is definitely worth it. All of the fish is high quality and tasty. The beef tongue and edamame were also really flavorful. We enjoyed everything we ordered and would like to return so we can try more.
