“My wife and I came here on a Saturday evening for a date night. We arrived and were put on the wait list. While we waited, we sat and took in the ambiance of the restaurant. This place reminded us of a traditional Japanese restaurant and the workers were also Japanese. The service was fine for how busy it was. The food came out quickly to our surprise. The tonkatsu ramen was okay, but the highlight is the seafood over rice. The fish tasted fresh and I really enjoyed the uni and tomago. I’ll definitely be coming back to try some katsu!“
