Such a fantastic lunch spot!Been here for a few times and it’s always a delighted experience. The lunch sets are very affordable and every dish is of great quality. I tried intestines for the first time here and can say I would order again. This is a spot I would consistently revisit.

Walked in to the restaurant, there’s a lot of staff. We said hi, but we weren’t greeted immediately even though there’s two staff standing in front of us. Food is excellent, we ordered Moru Hand Roll Set, Chicken Karaage which are amazing, Sukiyaki Nabe is good too. But the Mentaiko Basil Pasta was hard. Hospitality of the staff needs improvement. We said thank you to staff multiple times but constantly got ignored. If you’re going just for the food, would still recommend this restaurant.
September 26 · Victor Hernandez Jr
The food was fresh and delicious. Sushi is on the pricier side, but other dishes are affordable. The atmosphere is pleasant and clean, and the staff provides great service. Overall, a very satisfying experience.

Amazing food and service. We ordered the set lunch menu and satisfied with all the different side dishes that came with it. The tonkatso is delicious and moist. The service is great despite the place being busy. We will definitely come back to try the other dishes. Highly recommended.
