Unique take on Japanese street food! Some classic tastes and some others that are different. Brings me back to Japan for sure. I highly recommend the Okinomiyaki, the Katsu Curry, and Karaage.

We had the Valentine's Day meal for two and were very happy (and full) with our meal. The gyozas and sushi were both delicious, but my favourite was the crispy shrimp, by far. As others have said, even if you don't like shrimp, you will like this shrimp! Can't wait to have that again :) The portions are small, indeed, but there is a lot of skill, care and creativity that goes into making the food, not to mention the quality and freshness of the ingredients. I'm excited to go back for more :)

Staff was extremely kind and helpful! More importantly the food was amazing. So much effort went into the presentation of it, and for the price you can't beat it!

Absolutely loved this place! I believe they have rotating menu guessing by how they have placed their menu. We got spicy tuna crispy rice, salmon cakes, ikayaki and tuna poke. They were all very good. The idea is to get a couple of dishes. They also provide small basket to hold your bags so they dont have to sit on the floor. This is a counter service which makes it fast!

Very interesting flavors. Food was fresh and tasty. Service was great. Only thing is that you pay ahead. During that tranaction, it asked for the tips amount. Hestiated, I tipped before actually experience the service. At the end it was appropriate.

Delicious food, great service, cool vibe and not hard to find! We were excited to try this place out and not disappointed! We loved everything-- the crispy salmon was particularly nice. Got the house specialty drink which was also delicious.

Wonderful lunch in a charming space! The menu is inviting, exciting, and was really well explained by my server. I had the crispy shrimp on rice and the gyozas, both solid regular items worth ordering. There was also a chicken karaage special, which honestly was the best thing there—such juicy, well-marinated, and crisp bites of chicken. Definitely get it if it's available! Three of those dishes came up to just over $20 for me, and I had some leftovers to bring home.

Absolutely love this place. Small menu but every thing is an amazing bite. I've been here about 4 times and also had delivery 4 times. Each time the quality has been outstanding no matter in-store or at home. My favorites include the crispy shrimp, gyoza, and without question the spicy tuna crispy rice. I could eat these from here daily and still be excited as the first time.
