My friend and I tried the dumplings and edamame to start. Then we had Ramen. All of it was delicious and we enjoyed it for sure, but the very best part of our meal was the service. It was excellent.

Made a reservation on Open Table … turns out they don’t use Open Table anymore they use Toast, so our reservation “never went through.” OK, so now instead of inside we’re seated outside at a picnic table with predictable results. Hour wait for ramen to show up, hostess has to run the food because they’re so backed up, and the food is cold by the time it shows up. Have been here previously twice and loved it, but will not be back after this experience.

Great ramen and mochi and dumplings!!! Delicious sake - fun to try a flight to taste different kinds. Decor is really fun too. We went for UVA parent weekend with our college age son and it was perfect. Would also be fun just with another couple. Super nice wait staff too and host. They were a bit overwhelmed with parent weekend reservations but they handled it with grace and friendliness. We will go back!

I think the folks here are really trying hard, but overall quality of food is just ok. Mushroom dumplings were really good, my Japanese curry was decent but my wife’s chicken teriyaki bowl was a heap of rice with few overcooked vegetables and microscopic levels of chicken.

Short staffed when we went. Server was up front , which we felt made our experience better being informed. The food was served timely and it was delicious. Would definitely recommend
