Excellent food all around. The sushi is fantastic and fast service. Will be back!
Some of the best Yakitori I've ever had. Excellent salmon sashimi, nigiri and rolls. Highly recommend this location, order the Filet Mignon Yakitori or Beef Bulgogi Bao Buns.
I love the atmosphere. Really nice and cozy inside. We got spicy and black ramen, both were great.
We got the tonkutsu combos and thought they were a hit! If you're ever in the Hillcrest area craving Japanese food, this will hit the spot.
Very yummy ramen. We got the Spicy Tonkotsu and the Spicy Curry and both were very tasty. We were able to ask for the chilly oil on the side which was nice.
