    They did a nice job remodeling after what was previously Claremont Diner. Nice atmosphere. We were there as they opened for lunch on a Saturday. It was quiet. Happily surprised at quality of the food and a good value as Japanese restaurants go. Service attentive and pleasant. Calamari Katsu and soft shell crab appetizer were delicious. Our entrees were fresh and good portions. Dessert of tempura bananas and ice cream was yummy, though fried cheesecake was tempting but we were too full to have it this time. We would definitely come back.

    Nothing memorable. Average uninspired food. When the host tells you “sit anywhere you like” it’s seldom a good sign. Dark bleak interior. I won’t be returning. There are better existing Japanese restaurants.

    Tempura very nice but found sushi disappointing. There are better sushi restaurants in town.

    This was a nice surprise. The food was high quality with a nice plate presentation and relatively inexpensive. My daughters and I ordered a variety of iems. all were good. Will definitely return.

    Ramen and sushi were top notch...teriayaki were simple and not up to par with the other items...but would go again and stick to noodles and sushi. Service was very good as well.

    Clean, quiet, very fresh fish. Sushi rolls were made with abundance of fish toppings and fillings, and not saturated with some kind of sauce. Very clean taste to their dishes.
