I had high expectations going here and they were more then met!! Went with a group and we tried almost everything on the menu. All of the drinks, foods, and desserts were amazing. The presentation was adorable and the vibes were immaculate. Get there early, since it’s such a cozy and small spot and also wildly popular (for good reason) the wait was pretty long, about 75 minutes for a party of 4. Was no biggie because the wait was well worth it 🙂

This place is cute they had very pretty plates and utensils ^o^. I got to know this place cause of social media and wanted to try it out myself.The service was very good and friendly. But the only thing i wanted to point out was the dissatisfaction with certain dishes we tried. We ordered almost half of the menu to try it all out. I recommend their kaarage and their ham sando, and yakisoba they taste pretty okay. But in terms of the onigiri they tasted like they weren’t mixed in properly cause the salt was pretty much the only thing I could taste in certain bites and the rice was falling apart very difficult to eat I think they should us proper sushi rice to keep the shape. And as for the matcha shaved ice we were extremely disappointed with the taste it had no flavour at all it tasted like nothing maybe with more sweetness/toppings/and matcha flavour it would of tasted better very dissatisfied and since it was also $16 for just ice. I don’t know if it’s a place u would come back the second time.

Cute little Japanese cafe next to the legendary Soichi sushi. The atmosphere is cute, but it is small, so wait times will vary a lot. Best to check in on yelp if you’re going during a busy time. Service was also excellent and the staff was very friendly.

1st week open they had a little problem with their waitlist through yelp. We were the 2nd one on the waitlist list, but weren’t getting called in. found out that their waitlist list didn’t refresh and kept skipping people on the list.

Waitlist was long so plan ahead if you’re coming. We ended up just coming back for dessert only since it was a 70 minute wait. Overall it was okay, their shaved ice was slightly overpriced for what you get. I did really enjoy their Paru Hojicha Latte. The place is really cute so I’m hoping it’s just a rough patch as they figure things out.

Cozy little spot with a lovely pink hue. The matcha latte was on point, with earthy tones and a smooth texture.

I’m so excited for this new spot! Since they just opened, be aware there is a pretty long wait to get a table. It’s just walk ins so go put your name in on the iPad and take a walk around the neighborhood. I think I waited around an hour and a half at lunchtime. I recommend the tamago sando, chicken karage and definitely try one of the desserts. The strawberry Japanese parfe was so good!
