2023-11-20 06:06:32A Nice solución for solving the hunger problem when visiting the area. The three lunch combos of sizzling beef/chicken/fish are all good choices with the protein and plenty of onions also with the rice and miso soup. One can add additional salad and California roll to make it a nutritious option for dinning with a large amount of dinning choices. There are TVs playing the sports game like football to satisfy the locals needs. Might try the sushi or sashimi next time.

2023-06-12 20:22:59After a 4.5 mile hike my friend and I headed over to this amazing restaurant to satisfy our starving bellies!Service: 10/10They were very busy but greeted us quickly and sat us right away (thankfully there was a few places to sit still). Our server was attentive and our food came in a timely manner. Its always great when you get your appetizers in time to enjoy before the main dish came out.Food: 10/10Please forgive me but I was so hungry I took pics a bit late and dug in firstSpicy tuna on crunchy rice and the gyoza was just perfect! The frozen beer was definitely a treat but I enjoyed it more once the slushee beer on top melted. I ordered the dragon roll and even though the eel was the fishest eel Ive ever had, I enjoyed it immensely! I ordered with crunchy topping and it was provided on the side. My friend ordered the spicy miso and was surprised he could order non-spicy (which we laughed about) and could pick mild/medium/very spicy! So nice that they appeal to everyones ability of how they handle spice.Ambience: 10/10Not a ton of seating but enough to take care of a medium rush. Covered outside seating and inside seating available. Darker decor and gave a nice appeal, great for late night dates.I loved everything about this place and will definitely be back. I recommend to anyone that needs that Japanese cravings taken care of!

2022-07-15 20:27:02The appetizer called monkey brain was really delicious and came in a great portion. The sushi was good and very fulfilling. Service was great. Prices were a little bit on the high side but reasonable. They offered free iced tea or ice cream once you checked in on app.

2022-11-26 05:59:56This is a very busy Kaiba location. We did not have a reservation and were lucky enough to snag the last empty table. The Tonkotsu ramen was rich and flavorful. The rolls and sashimi combo were fresh but the fish was sliced very thinly compared to other places. The staff was attentive and the service was effortless.

2022-05-16 13:57:25Love this sushi spot. Super clean, super fast service, and really attentive staff. Gets packed very quickly after 6pm on weekends, so plan ahead.Amazing quality, solid rolls and variety (not too much, but just enough). Definitely a local favorite. I swear this place has the best salmon sashimi hands down. Its not gamey or chewy, its nice and buttery soft - every time I order it.They also have drink specials all day, every day... So you are set to drink up and have fun (sake bombs anyone?) While eating amazing quality fish. Honestly, its all about the fish quality for me, so I wont even talk about the rolls, but theyre solid as well.

2022-07-02 03:14:32Service: Excellent and fastSetting: Cleaning and pleasant view.Price: FairFist time at this place. Came by because of the 4.6 star. I thought the food could be better. The Ramen is definitely good. Great flavor, noodle is good, the onion added extra flavor. The chasui is a little dry and hard.We ordered a dragon roll. It only ok, had better is many other places. The eel is a bit small, maybe because of inflation, need to cut the weight down a bit. I didnt like the rice texture. Not a soft rice. Not enough of the sweet sauce. Dragon roll does not require soy sauce and wasabi, but I have to use some because of not enough of the sweet sauce.Mixed Tempora, a bit small for the tray. Also, could use a little more flavor in the flowers that is used to fried the Tempora. Come for the ramen

2019-03-13 19:24:05Really liked the last sushi place that was here before they took it over HOWEVER you cant beat their Grand Opening drink specials. $1 for a 12-oz Sapporo. Lets just say I am here OFTEN! The food is good and for the price, cant complain. Rolls are pretty good, taste fresh. Scallops were a tad fishy for me. Grilled chicken is definitely my go-to now. 1 or 2 of the servers have the personality of a limp noodle but the others are pretty friendly and attentive. I usually get a really nice kid, Art, and he is good of doing rounds around his section to check on everyone.

2022-07-23 17:22:48I had the tonkatsu ramen and it was delicious.The bowl they bring it in is massive and its earthenware so your ramen stay hot for a while.I also had the shrimp tempura roll but it looked so good I forgot to grab a picture until I was halfway through it 😅 It tasted just as good as it looked if not better.The wait staff was real friendly and checked in on me frequently, 10/10 customer service.TL:DR One of the better places Ive eaten at in awhile. I will be coming back the next time Im in town.

2023-09-25 20:53:44Among all the Japanese restaurants Ive been to so far, this one is definitely the freshest and most delicious. I can recommend it to anyone. Especially for family meals with kids, it offers great prices and guaranteed taste. Moreover, no matter what you order, the food is served within 5 minutes. I love it. Highly recommended
