For real - what an amazing experience. The broths, noodles, and sushi were extremely delicious. The service was helpful in our order. The chicken wings were an unexpected hit. We'll definitely be back!! It was a little loud at our lunch serving, but the music and brightly lit interior helped a lot.

the karage was equal parts crunchy and juicy probably the best I've ever had. I had the kimchi ramen and it was absolutely delicious! hope to visit again soon to try the sushi out.

We had such great food -- delivered by door dash. Had pepper tuna tataki appetizer, sunrise roll, tango mango roll, shumai, tuna abo roll, and vegetable gyoza. Can't wait to try everything from here.

I have gone here many many times and every time I go the food gets better. I always go here if I want to eat out. So many options and the best food I've ever had at a restaurant.

Decent sushi rolls and sides, miso is hit or miss though.

Ok so I found this place on a whim, it was late afternoon and on a Tuesday in March so Brunswick was a ghost town, but I was hungry so I googled open Asian eateries and I found this place!I have eaten at many different authentic Japanese , Chinese, Thai, Asian,Cambodian and of like restaurants and this one was really something I needed to write a review on.Ok, I did love the Menu’s that the owner created with life sized index cards for pages which were really amazing except the ambiance made it hard to be able to see it because of the lighting and the fact that this restaurant is in a converted basement of a building that has been retrofitted with the use of paint over pipes and concrete walls and other unique ways to hide the fact that your literally in a old buildings basement eating a expensive meal that is mediocre at best.All that aside, when it came time to pay.. before I was even done with my meal mind you…. The woman serving us that proudly said she was the owners mother ( I think is what she said ) went into great detail to explain to me that if I did not tip the customary 18-25% printed on the bottom of the receipt that she was going to lose money because they are forced to pay tax’s to the U.S. Government at 18% of the total amount including a assumed 18% tip along with the inflated meal ticket regardless of what the customer tipped, insinuating that my tip of 15% cash was not enough and that I was in some way cheating her and she wanted more in the form of a credit card tip so as not to upset the tax gods looking at their carbon copies of that days transactions.Not only did she talk about this at great lengths , she was also kind enough to continue waiting expecting us to tip again along with the already received 15% cash tip in some sort of strong arm attempt at ill gains, all this while she is still talking about how we should tip more with a card based on the fact that during her tirade we agree that the food was decent, and that alone in some way deserved more money to rain down from the pained basement ceiling and waste water pipes overhead into her clover or square credit card statement. This is why I give this place one star overall even though I gave the food three stars.

it was very disappointing to pay over $30 for a sashimi plate that was so small and was not served with rice.

A nice find in Brunswick. The best sushi I’ve had in a long time - great flavor, texture, fresh. A sensory delight of the palette. The area is cozy, well lit, and clean and smells fresh. Service is prompt and attentive. Price is very fair. Food is wonderful. Can’t wait to

This place is decent if you're local to Brunswick to itch that Japanese craving. Loads of ramen, small bites, sushi, bowls, boba. Ordered Oreo cheese drink that had this lightly whip cheese that paired well with oreo, fun as a dessert drink Rolls were huge and often broke in half but still quite good. Eel was a little fatty, avocado was fresh. Again, a decent spot with friendly service.

OMG!!! So good. I have to drive from Belfast, but it's worth it. I used to live in the SF Bay Area, so I know sushi. This place is unique in its location, and you just won't find better Japanese cuisine anywhere. Prove me wrong! Lol. I can't wait till my next trip south. By the way, I had my first experience with bubble tea! So much fun. I see why it's such a thing with kids!

The lights are a little bright in the restaurant and sometimes the sushi bar will be playing different music than the restaurant which causes a musician like me to go a little crazy...otherwise BEST service and BEST sushi place around! Their salads are actually more impressive than any other sushi place I've been to nearby. They have a really great veg friendly menu and gluten free seems to be no problem for them! Also, do not skip the bubble tea! The tapioca balls are sometimes slightly warm which makes the experience even more pleasurable! I am in love with this place and we'll just keep coming back again and again ❤️
