Ever since we took over the UPS Store nearby, this has easily become our go to lunch spot. Running a small business means long days and quick breaks, and it is such a relief to have a place close by that is consistently good. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with care. You can tell they take pride in what they serve. Whether we are grabbing something quick between customers or sitting down for a proper lunch break, the quality never disappoints. Portions are generous, and everything tastes homemade, not rushed or generic. What really stands out is the people. The owners are incredibly welcoming and genuinely kind. You can feel that they care about their customers and their business. The staff is just as amazing, friendly, attentive, and always positive, even during busy hour

I want to start off this review with a shout-out to our server, Briana. Attentive, friendly, called out special features to the menu, recommended a visit to their sister restaurant in Escondido, and the service of each dish was quick. Briana is the reason for 5 stars. Now, onto the food. Options were very nice, something for everyone. My dinner date is a finicky eater, and every time I suggest sushi for dinner, queue the dramatics. LOL! But, my dinner date not only found SEVERAL options that were non sushi, but he actually had a tough time choosing! He landed on the pepper steak salad, and I had the lemon salmon roll. Our starters were garlic edamame and cucumber salad. A few flakes of sea salt would have gone a long way on the edamame. Cucumber salad was perfectly dressed and not overly

I was forced to come to this restaurant as I am a finicky picky eater. Also, when I have a hankering for one thing and then have to go to a different unknown place because she blinks her eyes sexy at me...you can see how it starts off on the wrong foot. Now, I must say I am glad (as the man) that I allowed her to pick and agreed...(remember the sexy fluttering eyes).. Once we walked in, I was amazed at how clean, efficient, and orderly everything was... and we had not even sat down yet. Once we sat down, our server immediately asked if we had a drink in mind. (Oh yes, we received our menues at the table). Miss sexy eyes had the iced green tea, and I had the hot green tea. Then my partner attempted to suggest items for me... I said.."HM! I can order for myself!" I then picked the item she s

Met a friend here for dinner last night and we were all very impressed with this place and its food. The first thing I noticed was that the place is very clean, servers were very friendly & welcoming. The food was very good and very reasonably priced especially for a Japanese restaurant. We were the only ones in there other than a woman and her daughter which is very surprising being that their other place in Escondido is so busy. It’s definitely a good find and I will be returning.

I am definitely recommending this place. Looking for that umami flavor, well this place definitely delivered. The server was very attentive and kind. The place was immaculate.
