I've always been a little hesitant to go here mainly because it doesn't seem to be very busy after I get off of work. And just as it seemed, there wasn't anyone when I arrived, and only one other person came in during the 45min-hour I was there. All that said, I haven't the slightest idea why this place isn't packed from the moment they open.
The service was great; right in the happy medium of making sure you're taken care of and checking in too much to enjoy your food. And on the plus side, our server was perfectly happy to be called on rather than the typical "attempt to use your superior mind powers to catch their gaze and wave them down" we're used to.
The food was wonderful, too! We had the hot pot w/ kimchi (under the first page "soup and sides") and the assorted sushi (first on the second page). These were perfectly sized to accommodate both my dinner mate and myself, and the total price came out to about $45. This, in my opinion, is a really good collective price for a nice dinner date.
The sushi was the perfect temperature, not too warm but also not too cold, and served with wasabi and ginger as one would expect
The hot pot was made with the kimchi mixed in, and it too was just cool enough you didn't scald your mouth trying to taste it, and the ingredients mixed in tasted great as well.
All in all, the next time I think about getting Japanese food for a great price, I'm definitely heading back here.
This place is rare. Everything we ordered was delicious and authentic. The udon, pork, edamame, miso soup and the sushi/nigiri were all excellent. There was a smokey sweetness to everything. Really unique and delicate flavor. The decor is nice and I loved all the old time artifacts. For some reason the back of the restaurant felt dank but everywhere else looked clean.
I stopped in during happy hour for a light snack at the bar. I stopped in around 6:30 and ot was pretty slow but ot picked up after a while. Happy hour prices are reasonable for this area, bar and snacks $4.95 each. I had the California roll and it was really nice. Great service, friendly staff, no complaints
I'll be back.on the area for business and I'll co.e back again.
