Five of us shared several appetizers (tofu salad, ebi and calamari), a main course (chicken katsu), and a sushi platter. All were excellent. Service was attentive. Highly recommend.

Went for dinner on Christmas Eve. Pretty small spot, but vibes were good, noise was perfect to have a pleasant conversation and not have to yell or struggle to hear across the table. Food was delicious and portions were pretty generous. The Katsu taco board was killer! Would recommend
