    Food was delicious as always. Had the spicy wok fried edamame, Japanese street corn, chicken karaage, and the appetizer special brisket bao which was heavenly. Had the brisket ramen too, decadent and melt in your mouth. I only missed the antidote cocktail that they've taken from the menu, it was my favorite and I wasn't a fan of the current cocktail menu.

    Outstanding. Our first time here; loved the chicken karaage, bao and seaweed salad; tuna on crispy rice; sushi and ramen. The shoyu ramen was a good starter entry with pork belly that just melted in your mouth. The spicy red wasn’t spicy; next time we’ll do some add-ons. Desserts were also fun and extra ambiance points for showing anime on the TVs. Highly recommend!

    Positive: server was excellent and food and drinks were very good. Negative: our reserved table was not ready when we arrived and there was no comfortable place to wait. Restaurant was extremely loud. We learned every detail about the group at the next table because they were loud and obnoxious and practically on top of us. I would return but only at off peak hours.

    Food was excellent. Service was great. Prices were reasonable. Easy parking near city hall. Only bump in the experience was the hipster dude with the flannel shirt and blonde streak working the hostess stand that had an attitude and no idea how to manage table seating. He needs to go asap. Otherwise everything was awesome.
