This place is legit. Better food than your typical izakaya . Homemade tofu , cold egg custard , fisherman's squid , beef tongue , tongue sashimi , shishito peppers - all great. Get a draft Asahi to drink.
Pork udon soup is light and delicious. Great for a cool winter day. Pork ramen was spectacular and sushi was fresh and good. I will definitely come back!
Chirashi bowl has wonderful variety.
Wouldn't recommend. Very mediocre.
Some of the best tuna sashimi I've ever had, and the salmon roe bowl is positively addictive! - Sara
It's an outdoor plaza that has a lot of small little stores. Plenty of parking. Good for chill and hanging out with friends. - Gabriel Kim
Old school perfection! This is not the spot if you're looking for an extensive saki menu or a lot of fancy rolls. - Charlotte
Get the Hiroshima if you can, but if not, the shrimp mayo and green onion is solid!Don't forget to get saucey! - Josh Gardner
We basically tried almost everything on their menu. Nagoya hitsumabushi so good. - Ailie Chang
This place is not to be missed. Food, drinks and service was all on point - Mateo Miller
All of their cocktails are originals. The Fernet Pop is a must as well as the namesake. You won't regret it. Must visit! - Abel Sun
The absolute best. Chocolate chip cookie dough cinnatopia combo was creamy, chunky, and delicious. - Lauren Mac
