Located in a shopping plaza. Got the Tori Katsu chicken cutlet set and a spicy tuna roll…read more The chicken katsu was done right. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and not greasy. It came together perfectly with the sides and felt like a complete, comforting meal. Everything on the plate tasted fresh and well prepared. The spicy tuna roll was a nice addition. Clean flavors with just enough spice, and it balanced out the richness of the katsu. The restaurant has a calm, casual feel and it's easy to sit and enjoy your food. Staff was friendly and attentive, and service was smooth. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a solid Japanese meal.

They specialize in katsu but also serve it with ramen or curry, and offer other tasty treats like kimchi fried rice (excellent), pajeon (scallion pancake), chicken bulgogi etc. I liked how they omeveb offers a nasu (which is Japanese for eggplant) katsu which was unique and good. Give it a try on your next Palm Springs trip.

Bit pricy but glad we got to try the experience at Indian wells…read more My hubby and I walked in and only waited 30 minutes. We were seated outside the restaurant was super packed. We got the new sashimi style, miso cod, spinach salad, couple of sushi and sake. Service is fast and food came out within 15 minutes. New style sashimi (7/10)-fresh but nothing special don't think it's worth $30 Spinach salad (9/10)-super refreshing best thing we had on the menu, the dressing is very flavorful. Miso cod (5/10)-pretty disappointed being the top item ordered. Bland and overall nothing special Sushi (7/10)-not the best we have had but portion was good fish to rice, liked the yellowtail the best. I think it's worth going once but probably not multiple times. Overall a good place to try for a first timer at Indian wells.

And this place sounded like the perfect venue to stop in as they were having all day Happy Hour on Sunday that included drinks and food items, including a selection of sushi. The restaurant offered quite a list of items to choose from (see pictures) for happy hour menu. The restaurant is quite small. The restaurant features a bar that had about 10 seats. Plus a small dining room and an outdoor space. I assume the outdoor space will only be good for winter time as no misters or fans. The single server was very attentive. She was practically doing everything: waiting on guest, playing hostess and making drinks. As for food and drinks: we were both please with our drinks off the happy hour menu. We got a large bottle of Sapporo for 10 dollars and a lychee cocktail for 11 dollars which was refreshing. As for food: well we didn't particularly like our food. The edamame was solid, but how can you mess that off. The two sushi rolls were quite small for 14 dollars on happy hour. We ordered one that had tuna on top with fake crab mix inside with a couple of sauces. The tuna color looked to perfect to be real. The tuna was not really tender. The sauce did not complement the sushi well. We ordered another role that came with four pieces and I could not distinguish the flavors within the rolls. The presentation of the rolls could be better. Based k. Our experience: we would stop in for drinks but probably skip food as the taste was not to our liking.
