Katsu curry in either chicken or pork is flavorful and crispy; never disappoints. Spicy miso ramen hits every taste bud. Variety of boba teas and drinks available too.

Went here for a family lunch out and we seriously drove 45 minutes just to eat here.. it's just that delicious. I will admit that we actually pass their other location just to go to this one. I don't know what it is about this particular location but it's OG and seems to just be better. Maybe it's the service, but I definitely feel like there's something done different at this one.

But what sets this place apart are the low tables where you fit on padded floor cushions on wooden backs. They even provide slippers for you to dog on the platform that's lined with sisal mat. To the far end is a rock garden. Very zen indeed. I was seated by the sushi bar. I had green tea. Waiting for my order of ramen with spicy miso. The umami orbits broth was great. I wish it had more crunch to it than just the kimchi. Also the pork was slightly cold, they didn't warm up to temp with the broth.

I had the Ebi (shrimp) curry ramen. The curry was very flavorful but different than both Jamaican and Indian curries. I don't like that they keep the tails on the shrimp even though it's in the ramen. I also had salmon rice balls as well as Shumai. The shumai was good and so were the rice balls, but never having had rice balls, they weren't what I was expecting. I expected them to have meat in them but it was just rice with salmon flavored powder. We also added hot green tea to our meal. While not anything special, I do like to end my meal this way. The service was pretty good but we didn't like that our waitress stood next to our table from the moment we sat down. We felt pressured to hurry up and order, and it just made things awkward. She was very attentive though. This restaurant is your typical local Japanese style restaurant. Very authentic in its feel and decor - nothing fancy, basic service. But if you like more authentic type dishes vs chain restaurants, I think this is a place to try! Oh, I will also add this place was alot less expensive than places like Domoishi! I give it a 3 star because I feel neutral about it - not because anything was super wrong about it!

Sophia and I drove from the Peninsula to see if the trek was worth the experience. We were greeted by one of the hostesses and seated immediately. Around the dining area, the decor is covered with anime material. From artwork to figurines to even them showing an anime movie, it's pretty neat especially if you're a fan. And foot traffic started to pick up after we got seated. Great timing for the both of us. After a few minutes, we were ready to order. For apps, we picked Age Dashi Tofu. This one took a minute because I'm used to soft tofu, but the mid-firm was fine. Each piece was fried nicely with each ingredient working together. For my main dish, I chose one of their specials, szechuan style spicy beef noodle (ramen). Very good stuff. The beef shank was cooked perfectly along with good amount of bok choy and scallions for the veggie portion. At first, I worried about the spice level, but it was mild and not having yours truly cough up a storm. All in all, a great experience at such a quaint spot. This won't be the last time you'll see us. More great stuff to try. Till next time :)

While the exterior presents a delightfully modest facade, stepping inside reveals an ambiance that is wonderfully warm, inviting, and impeccably clean. The decor creates a pristine, charming atmosphere that immediately puts one at ease. The service was remarkably gracious and friendly. My waiter took the time to warmly walk me through their offerings, highlighting their renowned Japanese-style sushi options. To begin, I ordered a Thai tea, which was refreshing and delightfully prepared. Upon my waiter's enthusiastic recommendation, I selected the Boston roll as my main course, and it was executed to perfection fresh, exquisitely balanced, and thoroughly delicious. To end the afternoon on a sweet note, I selected the Mango mochi for dessert, which proved to be an absolute triumph of flavor and texture. I was completely enchanted by every detail of this visit. Full marks I shall most certainly be returning!

First, our poor waitress forgot my soup and when she returned with it, it tasted straight up like beef broth. Second, the sushi were bland and mine had cooked salmon that was all dark salmon. It was so gamey, so fishy. And it fell apart. My daughter had a bento box and she said the salad was disappointing. But the biggest issue was my son's "bridge" or whatever wooden structure his sushi was on, had mold. We were 1/2 into our sushi when she brought out the vegetable tempera that we requested as an appetizer. It was flavorless as well. 3 people, 3 lunches and 1tea and $65 later a lesson learned. We need a new sushi house. Like all young people they did not want me to complain.

There's paid street meter parking outside the restaurant. We went during weekday dinner time which I am glad. I don't want to think about where else we should have parked otherwise during busier times/semester. The service here is incredibly slow. We were seated in front of the register with 3 people working the floors and only us being the diners, too. Food tasted ok. Broth was lukewarm/tepid due to the ice cold toppings added straight out of the fridge. The chashu tasted great. Noodles were nice and chewy. Too bad I felt like I was eating out of a bowl of spit. I think I prefer going to the Chesapeake or VB locations. This location is not worth paying for parking and be frustrated waiting for everything including receiving utensils and checks.
