The herbal finish from the shiso leaf within the tempura batter was also a nice touch :) My brain was tickled by the complex layers of flavors and textures, they worked together so well. The soba also had a very nice bite to them!

My review of the soba - this was my first time trying cold soba. The broth was interesting to me - very cucumber & mint forward. It was good - I just wasn't use to those flavors with noodles. Wish I tried the tempura. It looked delish but we were too full!

Overall, was blown away by the omakase set and the welcoming staff. Highlights & Notes: -Location: Right next to Aroom in Fremont area -Parking: Street -Service: Very nice and friendly staff -Interior: Modern and chic -Food: Ordered the Salmon Dinner Set and the Omakase set. Salmon set = perfect for anyone who loves salmon. Comes with as sashimi, nigiri and rolls of different types of salmon. Very fresh and was so tasty :) For the omakase, I felt like time flew by tooooo quickly as I devoured every single piece. Loved how there weren't any fillers and that you would just go straight into the joys of eating various fish and traditional items like shrimp and tomago (egg). Every piece of fish = yummy, fresh, and I loved the wasabi touch + light seasonings for the fish. Didn't had to use any soy sauce or anything for this. Plus, the price here is definitely reasonable for the high quality fish :) Can't wait to come back and try out more of the sushi rolls and do another round of the omakase set.

This place offers allll that and more including a standard chirashi bowl and different combos of donburi and similar bowls. They were honest w me when I asked where they got their ahi from (staff said Mexico or the Caribbean) so I copped their hamachi and salmon bowl. Oooo hoooo that shi was gas tho. My only complaint is I wish there was more bc 10 pieces aint enough for a fatty like me lol. But pretty good value! Sushi rice was also solid. All dat was around $20 plus t/t.

A medium heat option would be perfect. The fries deserve their own shoutout. Thin, crispy outside, fluffy inside, always fresh. Highly recommend dipping them in the mayo. Their egg salad is also solid if you want something lighter. Ordering is casual -- you order at the kiosk and grab it from counter when it's ready. No frills, but the staff are always friendly.
