“Service started off poorly, but then picked up and became terrific. We lived our server, TJ. Tapas came quickly and at a good pace until the paella was delivered. The lobster fritters and achicoria salad were very good, pulpo and ribs just fair. The paella mixta was good, but the prawns were overcooked & there was WAY too much diced red pepper in the dish. I'd much prefer julienned roasted red pepper strewn throughout.“

“Excellent selections and tastes. Not too expensive and high quality dishes. We tried a number of dishes and surprisingly everything was wonderful. Really! Atmosphere is jovial and a bit noisy, but in a good way. Definitely worth a visit, even if you are not a Japanese food fan.“

“My go-to spot for takeout! I love coming here when I want a hearty meal. It's a relatively small spot that only accommodates takeout orders. They take online and in-person orders and service is always pretty fast. There are also some outdoor tables right across the street that can be a nice area to enjoy your meal. My favorite menu item is the chicken rice plate but I'm also a huge fan of the short rib and salmon rice plates as well. Pictured is the three item rice plate with chicken and short rib. Portions are always generous and for the price point I would say it's excellent value. I love the side of edamame as well!“

“I found this place on yelp, my wife and I decided to go. The place is cozy, the food average, wine a bit expensive, the bartender was nice and attentive. I'll give a 4 out 5. I can recommend this place but they have to improve a few things on the menu.“

“I ordered the Curry Tonkatsu Bowl with chicken and I enjoyed the chicken. The chicken katsu was crunchy and thick with meat. The meat also wasn't dry. The curry flavor had a strange taste. It was very sweet compared to normal curry. The proportion size compared to price is pretty average. The restaurant is self service. It's actually a very good place to sit and study with friends because the tables are huge and I think the restaurant is generally not too crowded. The ambiance is also very casual. I would come back just to hang out with friends again and try another thing on the menu.“
