A Japanese deli ? Yes! Perfect take out spot for interesting options like tofu steak , ginger beef bowl , hijiki salad , sashimi , japanese curry , musubis , and more.

Gunnar Aasen

This is my standby lunch spot in the ferry building. The Japanese curry , kakiage tempura , and hijiki salad are all great.

Hallifax J

Soooo... The lunch is pretty cool. Amazing options and flavorful salads (OMG asparagus salad ). The cold items are amazing, the (should be) "hot" items, not so hot. Otherwise, great eats.

Mark Heyert

The bento box is always good but be sure to try the shrimp cakes and the roast beef sushi both awesome.
