    Probably one of the best happy hour spots in the city. They have different happy hour specials most…read moreof the days of the week, AND they last until a time that I can actually come in and get a deal. My friends and I came on a Friday. The Mai Tai was so easy to drink. It was like juice but so dangerous because they don't skimp on the alcohol. For the poke specials, they do not add fillers. There's a good amount of toppings, and it's a good sizable portion. Fish is decently fresh. Definitely come in for them. Wings are okay, but they aren't the best that I've had. If I was in the area or happy hour crawling again, this would definitely be one of my go to spots.

While the organization and timing of the event were off, I have no issues with the food, staff or restaurant itself. Anyways, I organized my plate with a bit from multiple trays including salad, poke, fried tofu cubes, kimchi fried rice, and galbi cubes. If the food was indicative of the restaurant's standard menu offerings, then I really liked the kimchi fried rice and tofu. Not as big of a fan of the galbi cubes and poke, but I honestly can't really complain about catered, sponsored food. Overall seems like a solid spot in the city to satisfy Hawaiian food cravings.

    I've been here twice recently, once for drinks and an appetizer and once for drinks and dessert. I…read moreappreciated that they had some non alcoholic drinks on the menu and both the ones I had were fine- not amazing but I appreciate the option. Service was pretty good and friendly but had to kind of flag down our waiter on both occasions at the end, not a huge deal. It's a nice place to catch up with a friend and quiet enough to have a conversation. Both times, my friends enjoyed the drinks they got- the chocolate negroni and a matcha martini. The second visit we came specifically for the matcha martini and also got the churros (chocolate sauce and matcha sauce) and a matcha basque cheesecake. The matcha lover I was with was very happy though for me, the matcha cheesecake was a bit much. It is very matcha forward and you will enjoy it if you love matcha. I liked the churros a lot and the portion was super genrous. Also got the brussel sprouts on the first visit which were solid - a bit on the salty side but pretty enjoyable and it was also a huge portion. Overall I'd definitely come back here. I'd been to their old location on Market street a bunch of times many years ago and loved it. This is very different in most ways but also good. Parking is easy enough - both street parking and in a garage. Not sure how busy they get but at least after 9 pm on a weeknight both times, it was not very busy but also not dead. They are open pretty late which is also good.

Once entered, you are greeted with a cute statue, great for little ones and adults. We got seated pretty quickly at a booth. Different from traditional sushi conveyor belt place, you don't see pre-made dishes around. Instead, each table/spot comes with a screen for placing orders. You can pick up to 4 dishes each time, then added to cart. When your dish is coming, you see the light flashing, then a nice train carries your happiness over. Once unloaded, you push a button and wave bye bye to the train departing. Yes. Super fun for kids. I ordered some sashimi, tofu salad and some sushi. They are super fresh! Service is fast, consistent and friendly. My kids enjoyed goyza, soup, onion rings and some cooked sushi's. We would love coming back again. I can see this to be our go to place in Japan town.
