    High quality Japanese food in Puerto Rico. We tried the pork bao bun, chicken yakisoba, hamachi nigiri, and a sushi roll. All of it was fresh and tasty and was brought out in a timely manner. My only complaint is that they don’t open the doors until right at the reservation time (ours was at noon), so we were waiting for several minutes on the noisy street outside.

    The service was excellent, and I had high hopes for the food. While nothing was horrible, I found it to be just okay. Perhaps I’m being a bit more critical, but at these prices, I think it’s fair to expect more. I don’t want to disparage the place, so I’m willing to give it another try. What disappointed me most was that after ordering several dishes, not one stood out as truly exceptional. The cocktails were beautifully presented but average in taste. The one dish I particularly didn’t enjoy was the kimchi fried rice. That said, the restaurant is consistently busy, so it’s clearly popular with locals. Unfortunately, it just didn’t meet my expectations.

    Saludos...todo muy bueno exepto lo del tiempo de la mesa. Pienso que 2 horas es muy poco tiempo para mesas de seis personas o más...y más cuando la mesa está consumiendo bastante entre bebida y comida..pienso que te llevan un poco ajoraou y se pierde un poco la experiencia...en todo lo demás muy bueno....

    Highly recommend! Chef Ortiz is at peak creativity, sabor and great service. Great ingredients prepared in wonderful ways (even some crunch! which is great for Puerto Rico). I will be back!
