What our customers say

Reviews

As always, good ramen serves freshly made and so good salmon as well. Nothing to complain about the service. It was always great.
Benjamine Foster
I have been going to this place for a few years now. Every time, it's always amazing. The bento boxes are top-notch. The tempura Shrimp is fantastic. Highly recommended!
Perry Holmes
So they have Ramen that you can split between 2 people because of how big the portions are or any of their meals are large portions. Their Sushi is always fresh.
Cooper Takaki
From the moment you come to this place the waiters give you a great feeling. It is a happy restaurant to hang out with friends and colleagues or with your date.
Bentlee Morton
Excellent place for Japanese food. Authentic menu. Love their Beef curry and the Bentos are perfect for Lunch. Fresh Sushi and the specialty Rolls will keep you coming back.
Kevin L.
One of the better places in the area for Sushi, Bento, and Ramen. This is our family's favorite place. Consistently good quality and fair price. Ingredients are always fresh.
