This is our regular Japanese restaurant that we come regularly. I usually order unagy fried rice, veggie dragon and caterpillar to share. My husband usually order a bento box with chicken karaage and beef teriyaki while mom would have a bento box of salmon teriyaki and chicken teriyaki. It’s always good. Considering we are regulars, the waitress was very surprised when we ordered the following. Today we ordered veggie tempura (yummy), miso ramen, honey tonkatsu ramen, and mother ordered Charshu ramen. Not bad. Soup was not salty and it was enough. Update: 06/05/2025 Wanted to have a lite dinner. We ordered: tempura morí, caterpillar roll to share, Charcui ramen, spiral ramen, tempura udon, vege ramen, and chicken don. Not bad. The soup was not salty. Portions was just right. We all finished our dinner and appetizer. Update: 07/08/2025 Felt like noodles. We ordered: Seafood Ramen, Miso Ramen and bento boxes. We shared: Tempura Miro and Caterpillar Sushi. Yummy.

Great service but unfortunately the food was mediocre at best. The tuna was low quality and the salmon was tough. The rolls tasted fine but weren’t easy to eat over all. We wanted to love this place since it’s so close, but it’s basically grocery store sushi for a premium price

Went in for happy hour and was not disappointed, you get 20% off your order(not including alcohol) got the 3 item bento box with karage, mix tempura, and salmon sashimi. Definitely going to come back to try some rolls

Loved the food here. Their miso soup is also great, which is usually an indicator for me that the rest of what we ordered will be good. A nice place overall.
