I prefer dinner over lunch since the evening crowd is busier, which means the food is fresher. Takeout is great too. I've even used them for catering. Good quality for the price.

They have gluten free imitation crab, teriyaki sauce, and tempura available...which is not always a thing! And the severs know what's up and will help you make the right choice. Then, because we were at the bar, we got to see/hear the cooks receive and prepare the gf order. This is huge for someone that needs gluten free options. I went with the ninja poke bowl. It had a LOT of spicy mayo, but everything tasted great. I also had the cucumber salad, miso soup, and a cucumber roll. My husband had a bento box. We left totally satisfied and I know I will be back soon.

A generous pour too. Apologies to the purists, but I ordered the California Roll as it consisted of real crab. Roll slices were small. Taste was par for the course. The shrimp croquettes were my favorite item of the night. And I concur with another Yelper that the Chicken Katsu was excellent, and also good portion to price. The Miso cod on special was tasty, but, small. We also ordered eel nigiri, one of the special hand rolls, and yummy sliced duck. Our experience ended with a somewhat unmemorable flan. Service by the lone server was very friendly and efficient, she's a pro. Usually it's points off for a Downtown spot and no parking, but all the inconveniences actually add to the vibe of this must-do Japanese restaurant.

Everything is consistently fresh and delicious, so you can't go wrong. Owner Pauly is always friendly and helpful, especially when my indecisive-self needs help choosing, and Chef Carlos makes some of the best sushi around.

The noodles were fine but the chicken was not good. It was cut in large tough chunks that were too big for 1 bite but tough to cut. The shape and toughness were very off putting.

We've done both the hibachi table and the booth and both were great experiences every time. The hibachi table is always a blast as each and every single cook we've ever gotten has been as entertaining as they are outgoing and personable, i imagine the hiring process must be a rigorous one because regardless of who it is on the table, they always know exactly what they're doing on top of overflowing with charisma. Our experience in the booths when we order sushi is always pleasant as well as the waiters have always been kind and approachable. And of course the sushi is delicious too!

Went on a Monday night with a group of 5, including me, around 6pm. The restaurant was not busy;…read morethere was 1 hibachi grill going and the rest of that half of the restaurant was empty. 20 minute wait. Okay. Once seated, ordered drinks, apps, and entrees. Everything was going well. Chef came out and was okay. Definitely not the best we've had, but the food was good. Had to ask twice to get the bill. The restuarant had a couple more grills going, but still not busy by industry standards. Finally got the bill and they've added a $42 tip, for a "large" group. 5 people is not a large group, especially considering their grills seat 12 people and they always clump different groups together. I could understand if they were having to push tables together and it was taking a server's entire section up, but that's not how this place operates. When I inquired about where it's posted that this is standard practice, I was only showed the bill, which we had to ask for twice before seeing it. I normally tip 15-20% depending on quality of service; however, forcing a tip on me becuase there's 5 of us is theft. 1 of our group didn't even order a meal. We won't be going back to be robbed again. Edit - After calling and speaking with the so called manager, I was told that the automatic gratuity is standard and there's no one above her that I could speak with no matter where or who I called. No corporate, no owner, just her. She also told me that they were short staffed on this particular evening, which is more grounds to not expect $42 tip, when service is lacking due to lack of staff. I've worked in this industry for 30 years. I know how much staff rely on tips, but this isn't the way. I may have left a $50 tip, if it was earned, but not when it's forced and especially not when it's forced and not earned. Manager told me they'd refund half my tip and I wasn't welcome back. Bye

Not a fan of the jalapeño grits because the heat built up and I would like to have some bread to help cut the heat. Our absolute favorite was udon dish. Another dish where I wish I had bread too scoop up all the sauce. The Tonkasu sandwiches were way better than the place at Bridgeport. The beef check melted in our mouth - another dish. I wish I had rice with. Moral of the story, need carbs to make the meal better Beautiful ambience. Amazing service. We dropped the chopstick and they got us a new one before we asked. Was surprised they didn't give us new plates unless asked because mine was covered in all the different sauces and I didn't wanna mix the wasabi dressing with other dishes.

Food: 4/5 Service 3/5…read moreAmbiance: 5/5 This is a very cute spot for a nice girls dinner or date night. I brought my kid and it was ok but probably won't recommend it. I liked everything off the raw menu besides the mushroom handroll because the salt level was at about 300%. My fave was probably the yellowtail crudo. The raw stuff came out fairly quickly then we waited a very long time for the cooked entrees to come out. There was at least a 20 minute hiatus, which I did not appreciate. The server checked on us a couple times during the wait but it's just kind of awkward when the wait is that long. I was really looking forward to the duck duck rice because pictures on Yelp made it look like a crispy rice, if it was in fact, not. The udon was our absolute favorite. The snapper was also delicious but it came very late. The alcatra was just ok, I actually couldn't take much of the tomato flavor in it.

A Sushi-Fueled Saturday Success!…read more We walked in on a chill Saturday afternoon--party of four--and scored front-row parking like sushi royalty. No wait, no fuss. Service? Super speedy and genuinely kind. A+ hospitality. Let's talk food (aka the stars of the show): Caterpillar Roll - Fresh, light, and beautifully presented. The kind of roll that makes you feel like you're eating healthy... even if you follow it with fried gyoza. Spider Roll - Crispy? Yes. Flavorful? Yes. But the flavors blended into each other a bit too much--more "symphony" than "solo act." Still enjoyable, just not a standout. Clam Miso Soup - A delightful surprise! Big, juicy clams swimming in a savory miso bath. A must-try if you're into seafood. Regular Miso Soup - Classic, comforting, no complaints. Fried Gyoza - Golden, crispy, and flavorful. Honestly, I could eat a whole plate solo and call it a day. Shrimp Tempura - Massive, crunchy, and satisfying. You'll want to share... but you won't want to. Seahawk Roll (aka Volcano Roll?) - Came in HOT (temperature-wise and vibe-wise). Bold flavors and satisfying heat. Crunch Munch Roll - Smoked salmon + shrimp = interesting combo. Tasty, but the smoked salmon kind of hogged the spotlight. Final thoughts: Everything looked great, tasted fresh, and came out quickly. A few rolls were more memorable than others, but overall it was a win. We'd definitely return for another round--especially that clam miso soup and shrimp tempura!
