    Great food! Loved the crab, avocado salad; the miso butterfish, the varied sashimi plate, the different sushi rolls as well as the wafu beef. My guests enjoyed the desserts — zensai and the strawberry shave ice with ice cream. Ambiance-wise, it was a tad loud as we were in the open room upstairs — but it's "an izakaya" and that's understandable! My out-of-town guests and family members enjoyed the food! Thank you!

    The staff were very friendly. They worked quietly and efficiently. Service was excellent. We ordered and ate family style (total of 7 people). The food was outstanding. We enjoyed the wafu steak, crab/avocado salad, tempura platter, agedashi tofu, Karei karate, sushi sampler and a couple of sushi rolls. Enjoyed every bite! Highly recommend this place. Also, happy hour at 5-6 pm looks like a great way to start!

    The food was decent. We had the Karei Karaage (deep-fried flounder) and Misoyaki Butterfish. Service was excellent. If you go, highly recommend the Yuzu Sorbet.
