Their sushi burritos are also fun. Their spam musubi are wrapped in a weird way to me, but my spouse likes them.

We were in the area for a festival and were so excited when we saw this Japanese grocery store. It…read moreis a lot bigger on the inside than it looks and they have so much to look at. We had recently visited Japan and were interested to see if we'd find some of our favorite products here and were happily surprised were there. They have a large selection of prepared foods, including some incredible looking sushi (I wish we had bought some). The cold drinks had a great selection of options with some hard to find flavors and brands. From the produce to meat, seafood, and shelf stable items, it was overwhelming how much this store had. I loved the wide variety of candies and snacks. We picked up some new-to-us and some familiar items while we were here. I also picked up some spices and ingredients that are harder to find. The pricing on everything was very fair, and considering that a lot of these items are imported and not always easy to source, I was so excited! The staff was also friendly and efficient, since there was a festival going on the store was very crowded, but the check out lines moved quickly.

I have a salmon allergy, and he made sure to double-check everything so I could eat with confidence, which I really appreciated. I got the omakase with premium supplementary items. The fish were exceptionally fresh and some literally melted in the mouth. Every bite was delicious, and you could really taste the quality of the ingredients. The prices were also very reasonable for the quality of the food and service. Overall, a wonderful dining experience, and I'd definitely come back to try the other menu items.

We started off with some shishito peppers which were so tasty and had a unique flavor that I really liked. We then split a couple sushi samplers, and two rolls. Across the board, I found every piece fell short of my expectations, and was lacking the flavors I was hoping for. The fish did taste fresh, but everything was on the bland side, and I thought the overall experience fell so short of what I was expecting for the price.

They had a final closing party this past Saturday, and we knew we had to stop by for few last drinks and bites. It was low key kinda sad as we had to say goodbye to some of our favorites. Over the years (past decade or so now) we've gotten to know the staff and this spot has been a spot where we knew we'd get great service, good convos, and of course tasty wings, totchos, and $1 oysters on Thursdays. Shout out to Matt, Tracy, Jeremy, and their entire team for the amazing hospitality over the years. Paina closing is a reminder that it's important to not take your favorite restaurants/bars for granted because you never know when that final day will eventually come and when it does it comes way too fast. I hope the team reads this as I just want to say THANK YOU for everything and that you will be missed. The memories and moments I've gotten to enjoy here over the years won't be forgotten!

The other plus is that the folks working here are absolutely lovely and sweet. Even on busy night like wing Wednesday, they never fail to bring both efficiency and a smile. Speaking of wings, the house Pa'ina flavor was really tasty. Even un-sauced, they were tasty. You will be missed Pa'ina!

I just do not think it was the best value for the price. Service was amazing, and they checked on us frequently. The space felt very open, inviting, and peaceful.

I ordered chicken katsu curry and a spicy salmon handroll. Chicken katsu was not headed but cubed chicken breast. Still tasty but not katsu. Roll was pretty tasty and better than the curry. My only thing is that they were working on a large order and the guy delivering was hanging out. One of the guys preparing the food told the delivery guy that the order was huge. It was very large! However, my order was a handroll and the katsu wasn't fried or even battered... it was good but not waiting for 20 minutes while trying to rush to get food lol. I don't normally care if it takes a while to get food out, but the food was good, not great. The prices are fantastic and I'll definitely come back but maybe not come here if you only have half an hour or an hour for lunch. I'll give it another try and see if there are other dishes that'll make it a 4/5!
