Langostino roll was really good (they called it popcorn lobster but it's really langostino). Tempura avocado was ok, but it tasted better with the lemon I had to ask for separately. The ramen was overcooked and broth underseasoned. Even after adding a lot of salt it still was mediocre.

Omg this place is awesome! It is a perfect blend of simplicity, flavors and service. There's only one other place that I can remember, the tonkostu ramen being so rich and creamy not salty and that was in Washington DC. We also get the spicy crunchy tuna roll and that was excellent. I think the best restaurants make you want to make the trip back to enjoy them again, I'm coming back!

Good hole in the wall sushi. Service is legit. Food is delicious. Good spot for locals too.

Service it's mediocre at best, the server seemed not to care at all when taking order or taking it correct. She was so unfriendly even though that's a must for a job such as this. Customer service is one of the worst things here. The food was delivered wrong and had to keep waving to get the server's attention while they were just chatting with each other. No wonder the restaurant is empty.Hopefully they hire people who know and what to be there doing the work properly.

I've been coming here for the past 15 years!! For its price point, it's great quality and is hands down some great Japanese food. I believe it's family owned and ran, and staff is super kind every single time. I always come here when I need some good Japanese food. Great warm & homey simple vibe. Can't recommend enough.
Not sure how I haven’t come across this before…so glad to have found this cute little spot in Glendale! The service was excellent - my boyfriend has an allergy to mayo and we forgot to mention it ahead of time, but they still made a whole new roll for us ?? The niku udon really hit the spot! It’s way better than what you get at Marugame. The prices are decent too. I will definitely come back to support this business ?

Great food, lots of choices from sushi to ramen. Everything tasted amazing. Prefer this over the trendy places in overcrowded areas that are a few blocks away. We got Glendale Roll, Tempura Vegetables, Popcorn Lobster Roll and Pork Katsu.Kid-friendliness: More family feel than other placesParking: Busy Saturday night, tough to find a spot in the parking lot but we got luckyWheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible
