This Japanese Italian fusion was amazing. The menu is overwhelming but there’s a little bit of everything for everyone. We tried their house Sashimi, it was great! Tonkotsu ramen was solid. Loved the egg and broth flavor, the pizza was the start of the show. I wasn’t sure about shrimp on a pizza but the miso marinara sauce thing going on was amazing. Highly recommend you check it out and try whatever you’re in the mood. Some others friends tried the sushi and others pizzas and they all said similar great things!

When you see “Italian and Japanese fusion,” a fair amount of trepidation is understandable. We avoided trying this place for months, not understanding how sushi, ramen, pizza, and pasta could occupy the same menu. But honest to God, it works! And it’s all quite good.

it’s a hidden gem! My friend found this place & sent it over to me to try so I came on by. This menu is HUGE! Maybe a little too huge… lol. I promise you though, whatever mood you’re in, you’ll find something here to eat. They have pastas, pizza, rice, sushi, ramen… list goes on!!! They have it all.

Honestly I was intrigued but skeptical going in… the food was amazing. My family is mostly ethnic Italian, and my partner is half Japanese so we wanted to try it out. They definitely tried a lot of unique combos and bold ideas. Pokemon roll, burrata, and gnocchi urbino where our favorites. But everything was excellent.

Parking is a challenge, atmosphere is loud with music that is neither Asian nor Italian, nor good. Think offensive rap with vulgar cursing, blasting. Definitely NOT a family place. Interesting menu, good service. Beer was flat, as noted in some other posts. Prices decent. $50/person without dessert. All in all, it’s ok, but ease of getting a table is probably strongest benefit.

We came on industry Monday so we took advantage of the happy hour until 7p. Food service was very slow but it became busy for a Monday night while we were there. We never received an order so we asked for it to be removed from the bill. The menu sounded intriguing; we ordered the Margherita pizza, chicken Parmesan, and calamari expecting a unique Japanese/Italian fusion flavor but everything tasted like standard Italian fare. We enjoyed the calamari the most out of our order.
