My date and I had dinner here yesterday for Valentine’s Day, and it was truly a wonderful experience. We were both welcomed with warm smiles and seated immediately since I had made a reservation ahead of time.

Overall would come back!

Came here fur lunch on New Year’s Eve and was seated after a 20 minute wait. It’s a small place with a spacious bar seating. We had the premium sake flight to accompany the chicken gyozas and hand rolls, which were pretty fresh and good. Overall fantastic meal!

★★★★★ 5.0 Zandi De Jesus · Jan 2026

Everything was so delicious and fresh. It’s such a good value! We got 9 hand rolls, 2 teas, and a dessert under $100 (without tip and tax). I was so happy with our dinner and loved the sweet potato brulee too.
