    Very friendly service, sushi was fresh, dog friendly establishment (buy a bandana and your dog eats free whenever you dine), and no sign of a California roll which is a plus!

    Sushi wasn’t up to par, and in fact some things like the Unagi and the Tobiko weren’t anything I’d call “fresh”. That said, the staff was very friendly, service was good, and the sake “Tokyo Mule” cocktail was very good.

    We went for my husband’s birthday & we loved it. We were running late & they held our table for 30 min. The staff were super friendly & attentive. Sushi & all items we ordered were fresh & delicious & came out fast. We had the Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, blue crab Cali roll, Cajun roll, jalapeño yellow tail, spicy tuna crispy rice & shrimp tempura & everything was excellent! They sang happy birthday to my husband & gave a complimentary ice cream! We will definitely be returning.

    I wanted to like this dining experience, but it really disappointed me. What stood out was the quality of food was terrible; I ordered a tasting menu sushi special, so I had a number of dishes from the kitchen to try. The ginger mushroom soup held a concentrated taste that unpleasantly stung my mouth. The spicy tuna starter was ok, however, the nigiri chef choice pieces was brought to me without wasabi, ginger, or soy sauce. The quality of fish was mediocre. Most notable was the final Salmon Roll topped with onion; the sushi was warm, slimy and tasted old. It was depressed sushi roll. For service, the team was friendly, but there were missed steps (did not bring condiments or utensils a couple of times, etc.) and I was brought an alcoholic drink when I asked for non-alcoholic. I will not be back.

    A gem on the outer edge of Little Tokyo/Arts District. The open, airy, colorful vibe of the restaurant was relaxing and inviting. We took my very elderly Japanese grandma here for Mother's day and she thoroughly enjoyed every dish. From the zaru soba, to the tempura, to the tamagoyaki, to the nasu miso, to the chirashi sashimi and finally the yuzu mochi ice cream... The meal we had was exceptional and satisfied 3 generations of Japanese Americans :) Will definitely recommend to friends and family and be back ASAP!

    The team here really cares and took care of my friend and me! Great food/drink options. Casual seating area (no real options for complete privacy) but still was sat at a corner spot and the noise level was fine for a lively feel while still being able to have conversation.

    Good dine la deal! Miso soup, spicy tuna cakes as appetizer (a mini roll, lots of crunch) or a huge basket of vegetable tempura, chef’s selection of nigiri- 5 pieces, a huge specialty roll, and a yuzu cocktail. All for $49. The staff were super nice and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable while waiting for my very late group. Convenient spot in the arts district with a free parking lot at One Santa Fe. I’d come back!
