    Monday specials were a great deal since prices of Japanese food generally tend to be high. Sushi/sashimi fresh. Tempura light & delicious. Bento box’s saba had an excellent cook although portion size was small. The dinners do not include rice, miso soup & salad so will cost extra. Nabeyaki udon was very good. Service was great, especially by our server Nina.

    Fantastic sushi. Service was great as well, with waitstaff coming by to check on us frequently. The nigiri were well done, and the rolls were very consistent and aesthetic. They of course tasted good as well, and the spicy rolls really do have a kick. The only issue is that I had booked this through open table and it only lets you do an "experience" that you must pre-pay for. I thought it was for the hibachi but it turns out it is for the all you can eat sushi. The staff had trouble verifying the prepaid amount so they had to write down my credit card number to compare it to their open table reservations. This seems to be more a technical thing. It might be better to just have reservations and bill at the end as usual.
