I was excited that there's a promising Japanese restaurant with great reviews opened near by, so we decided to give them a try. Not feeling like sushi and big fans of tonkasu and ramen, we decided to order those two items. The ramen and the tonkasu came out with decent presentation, but that's where it ends. My tonkasu instead of a decent piece of cutlet, it was a sliver of meat as thin as a piece of cardboard fried to the point of it turned to a piece of jerky. I did complain to the server and they replaced it with another small sliver of meat but better cooked. There were not much vegetables with the meal, some sautéed bell peppers and onions drowned in soy sauce, and a small scoop of rice that is hard. $15.90. The ramen was nothing special, not even sure if they actually made the broth

Warmly welcomed upon entering- which is always appreciated! Came here on a quiet Friday night for the first visit. Seated in one of the 3 booths available. Service was good and attentive, gave good recommendations. Sushi 🍣 and shrimp 🍤 appetizer were just OK, nothing that knocked my socks off. What really threw me off was the lighting - white canned recessed lighting, mixed in with slightly warm modern light fixtures. The lights right above the booth were pretty invasive, needs to be dimmed down. On top of that, the restaurant was playing music like you're in a night club. Overall the vibes were just not meshing well.

First things first, it was clear that our server didn’t really know what they were doing. They were very nice, but didn’t know how to pronounce poke, didn’t bring us a second bowl for our edamame pods, and weren’t sure where to find the dishes we ordered on the menu. That said, the food was great. The spicy garlic edamame was the second best that I’ve ever had (a bit spicier and a bit less garlicky than #1). The poke roll was very yummy, I felt like that scene in ratatouille where he eats the strawberry and cheese at the same time. The crunchy tuna roll was great but some pieces were better than others; it was a bit inconsistent. And the acevichado roll was good but I didn’t like it quite as much as the other things we ordered.

First time trying Peruvian ceviche and I loved it! The sushi was also great and with a Peruvian twist which it was a refreshing touch. The service was great.

This place is amazing!!! We got three different sushi rolls and weren’t expecting to finish all of them, but it all was so good we ended up eating everything! The Acevichado roll was my favorite! We also tried the purple corn juice and I really liked that! The service was very very good and I could tell they really cared about helping us have a great experience. They did a really good job at bringing their culture to this restaurant. I am usually not a seafood lover but I would definitely come back here, it was a very good experience. :)
