This place exceeded our expectations. My family has been to several other Japanese izakaya restaurants and this one by far is the best. From the different meat and vegetable skewers (I would highly recommend the Wagyu short rib and brussel sprout skewers), to the Tunkatsu ramen. It was Amazing! They also were able to accommodate my kids Ramen, which was a hit with both boys (2 & 10 yrs old). The service is awesome and the vibe of the place is just some where you can go to enjoy great food and company. The drinks were also excellent and fun!

Everything is so good! I got a variety of skewers,rice bowl and a drink. The plates are small so bring friends to share so you can have variety. Extremely delicious food

The corn was yummy! The broth for the tonkotsu ramen was delicious and they give you a healthy helping of noodles. The chashu was super thin and you only get one slice. The lamb was a bit tough, but I really liked the chimichurri.

Wow! Always wanted to come here and finally did with wife. Sat at the bar and got amazing service from Asuka. First visit. Everything on the menu looks amazing. Sitting at the bar I got to watch all the food come out and it just made me want to order everything I saw. Wagyu short rib skewer was perfect as well as the Brussel sprouts. Can't wait to come back for the ramen. Great vibe, great service, great food, and great drinks. I had the dai dai ipa and my wife found her new favorit drink the wakimizu. Worth any wait. Will be back soon and often.

Loved the experience, food was awesome! I go to the Bar around the corner all the time and always see this place packed! Finally decided to check out the place. I did however unfortunately go less than an hour before closing so the atmosphere wasn't the best but that's on me. But food and service were still great! I will say it was a little on the pricey side and the Google menu prices were inaccurate it was more expensive. All in all I will definitely be back to try more of the menu

Everything here is absolutely perfect!!! Service was very good and fast, our server he was super sweet with a smile on his face and got all our orders right even tho we ordered so many stuff. He works like he truly cares about customers! Food was absolutely delicious and we were very surprised with the ramen bout how good it was!! The ramen egg was one of the best ones I've ever had. Big grilled fish. A lil pricey for us but it was def worth it! 1000/1000.

This place is the bomb and we’ll come here every time when in the area. Kim was absolutely the best and if you get the chance to have her as your server it is a PRIVILEGE. The Susuru Chashu Gohan was 5 stars and so was the Tan Tan ramen. We also tried the Matcha Tiramisu and we loved it. They only make a limited amount every day so you know it’s amazing. Thank you KIM!

This is by far the best Japanese restaurant I've been to in the USA! I absolutely love the Mentaiko fries; I couldn't stop eating them. I highly recommend trying those. The raw octopus was surprisingly good, especially with the wasabi. The pork over rice was decent and worth a try as well. However, I found the karaage to be quite disappointing, so I wouldn’t recommend it—save your stomach space for something else. The cold tofu was delightful with the sauce. Overall, after tax and tip, the total was quite affordable. It’s definitely worth it!
