This place is a must! The food was amazing and the specialty drinks were spot on. The staff was also very kind and treated us well. It did take a while to get our drinks, but worth the wait. After dinner we walked over to Century Grand and enjoyed a 90-minute experience at the Under Tow. This restaurant was a perfect dinner before drinks or a night on the town.

Found this hidden gem recently & its such a nice restaurant! Great ambiance and gorgeous plates for a reasonable price! We got a sushi roll, gyoza, miso soup and the duck entree and we loved it all. Seriously so yummy and felt very high end.

Our new go-to place for ramen! The Miso Lover Ramen was delectable! The broth was thick, chasu pork was tender, and everything came together so nicely. The Nanaya Fries were crispy with so much potato. Both sauces were different but so great (especially when mixed together). The real surprise was the Gyukatsu Sando though!! I was nervous when my husband ordered it because it looked so thick in the pictures! It was thick, but no issue because of how tender the meat was. The simplicity of the sandwich balanced the richness of the beef. Highly recommend for modern, artisanal Japanese cuisine! Can’t wait to return and enjoy their patio seating when it’s not 112 degrees out.

Food was DELICIOUS. Perfectly cooked, great sauces, and gorgeous presentation. I didn’t love the Moshi Moshi cocktail, I think it just wasn’t my drink, but the staff were generous and replaced it with a lovely house sake.

I’m sad to say they shortened the menu and I saw none of the staff from my first 3 visits. It’s basically ramen soups, tempura, a few sushi rolls and shareable small plates. The excellent main dishes that made this place special are gone. That might explain why the menu was not on the website or on Open Table either.

Boyfriend and I found this gem and we loved the food here. Very chill vibes and employees are very nice. We usually order the pork belly skewers. Which are our favorite. And dessert we had the The ice cream trio.

Somewhat hidden on the backside of the building, small and unassuming restaurant with real Japanese chefs flown in regularly.

I haven’t been here for a while but from memory it is a really great ramen place. I went twice and had the ramen and the sandos as well as their desserts. It is the only ramen place that matches my preferred broth taste and for the price it seems reasonable compared to the hyped up ramen places on the east side. I really hope this business isn’t closing anytime soon judging from the on and off “temporarily closed or perm” because I do wish to have them around still! Hopefully the business is just going through restructuring of everything!
