There were enough places to sit but maybe not in a busy rush period. It's very casual and laid back. I went for dinner because I was staying nearby and didn't want to travel far and saw it had food ratings. There was only a couple pieces of sushi left, so not really a sushi place for dinner. I ordered spicy beef ramen and loved it! A really good balance of spice and flavor. Nice thin pieces of beef and tender. Perfectly cooked egg with slightly runny center. Delicious!

I go there for the food... The yakatori style small plate foods is as authentic as any you would find in Japan. So tasty and such a good selection that I end up stuffing myself every time I go. Which is all too easy when the plates take only a second to come out and the staff are super attentive and happy to keep the food (and booze) flowing. I also go for a cheeky solo lunch break and get the Karaage Chicken Ramen and an Asahi beer. Lunches have a chilled feel compared to nights and are perfect if you want to hide from the world for 1/2 an hour!

Shortly after we ordered, the server came by to let us know the kitchen will be closing in 5 mins so if we want anything else, this is the time to do it now.

While the place was a little pricey, it's about what I would expect for the quality here. And sushi seems to be expensive everywhere.

The scotch cut Wagyu was again just OK. We had three sides, mashed potatoes, cream, spinach, and scorched carrots. Of those three I would only order the scorch carrots again. For the prices, we were pretty disappointed. Maybe it's because I know what good steak is in Texas.
