The inside of this place is beautiful and makes you feel relaxed. It doesn't look big from the front of the restaurant but they have a large dining area and semi private section.
The bone marrow bibimpap is the tastiest I have ever had. It gives it a rich deep flavor.
The wagyu TKG looks really pretty. I think a lot of the other ingredients overpower the flavor of the meat.
Service is really attentive and friendly.
Comfortable atmosphere, attentive and friendly staff. For the typical guest the foods may seem way out there, but in actuality the menu includes select delicacies. Imagine many of your favorite items all done well and available at a single venue! The alarm carte items are on the pricier side considering portions, but that's what one might expect from the get go.
A happy hour is available, as well as lunch sets. You can try them out at lunch and see if you might like to return for dinner another evening.
This new cafe is EXCELLENT value for money. $16 for high quality Japanese lunch set, mid-century modern style aesthetic inside. The food was delicious - both the Vichyssoise and Minestrone soups are bomb, as is the chicken namban and miso broiled salmon. Highly recommend!!!
Food is great. This place is tucked in the corner of a small parking lot. Their bone marrow bibimbap is something I'd recommend. Beef tongue skewers and the uni over roast beef.
Stopped in for a drink while I did laundry at Kapahulu laundromat. At first it seemed their bar knowledge was limited so I settled for Suntory Toki on the rocks. But then they taught me about how shochu + oolong is a typical drink in Japan, so I tried their mamaki lilikoi hi - a nice local interpretation! As a complimentary bar snack, they served chilled summer baby bok choy (literally the coolest complimentary bar snack I've ever been served). There was a mix-up in the kitchen, so they gave me the thick-cut beef tongue (came with a miso-pickled jalapeno instead of the listed pickled Chinese cabbage. A refreshing difference of sweet + heat + salty flavor combo). Would love to come back and give their food a try...and for happy hour!
Tasty traditional Japanese food with nice cuts of fish. Nice atmosphere with great service as well.
Had the bone marrow bibimbap tonight and some Yuri sorbet! Both were delicious! The prices and service were great! Highly recommend!
Great food and really good pupus. The chicken karaage was very delicious and for $5 happy hour it's fantastic
Small boutique restaurant serving Asian fusion modern cuisine with focus on Japanese dishes. I had the bone marrow bibimbap and it was maybe the best I've ever had so far. Service is really good and attentive. Dishes are on the smaller side but the quality is really top notch. Go try it soon.
Great food! My favorite was the bone marrow bi bim bap. It was tasty and crispy since it was served in a hot cast iron pan. The pesto salmon with brichetta was alright, not as tasty as the bi bim bap. The wagyu katsu with demi sauce was crispy and had a nice glaze. Overall the atmosphere was very chic. Diverse menu choices and had a parking lot in front of the store. The prices I would say are around $$.
