Wanted to start off my review with saying Ciara was our waitress there , she’s 18 mind you. She was so accommodating , such a sweetheart and made sure throughout our entire meal if we needed any refills, napkins etc. will definitely come here again just to see her and have bomb food again

I had a great experience at this Japanese restaurant. The udon was perfectly cooked with a rich, flavorful broth and fresh toppings. The texture was chewy and satisfying. Service was friendly and quick, and the atmosphere was calm and welcoming.

Came in for lunch this past Saturday and had a really nice experience! Was seated right away and chose the 3 Onigiri set. Kani, Salmon and Tamago. The kani and salmon were fine but the Tamago was fantastic!! I did not expect a full-size soy marinated soft-boiled egg (thought it would be a piece of omelette) which was delicious. I also ordered an ice coffee which was also fantastic. Great, clean coffee flavor. It did take quite a while to get the food, but the server was friendly and restaurant was clean and PEACEFUL. This place is like the ONLY quiet retreat in an otherwise crazy and overstimulating mall. Would definitely go back.

Full disclosure: I am doing this review for a free dessert. They never stipulated that it had to be a *good* review, so I get to be honest here. The good thing is, I thought the experience was decent! Spacious place, clean. Small downside is that the space makes it hard to flag the server over, and there’s only the one person working the front during lunch on a weekday (Thursday, to be specific, at 1pm). I was the only customer for about ten minutes, before a table of three came in. The guy out front was quite attentive to me, which I appreciated. However, he did disappear for a small stretch, and that happened to be when the other table arrived. They stood there for about two minutes before he emerged? Some of the music choices were also a little odd, but not something I’d hold against a restaurant lol As I was only coming in for a quick lunch, I only got the takoyaki, as shown in the pics. For takoyaki, it was pretty quick! It had a good amount of squid inside, which I liked. The free dessert that I got for making this review is also shown. Cake was pretty good! Strong matcha flavor, and not too sweet. My bill came out to $10.66, before gratuity. Overall, I’d recommend!

Food is beautifully presented and service is friendly, though not as attentive as I would have hoped for and there was a bit of a language barrier. Pricy for what you get. Flavors were bland despite aesthetic presentation: spicy ramen soup was missing salt and pork belly was fattier than most I’ve had. The broth was missing so much flavor overall. Karaage chicken bao buns- chicken itself was cooked well and juicy, but the bao bun was missing some acidic component like a pickled veggie and more sauce and the buns were getting stuck to the tray they came in. The Takoyaki was well seasoned, but also seemed to be missing spices and I wish it had more octopus in it. My husband ordered the Korean chicken rice bowl which was cooked well, but it was mostly rice and the saving grace were the few prices of juicy flavorful fried chicken. The place is huge and spacious and was not busy around the time we went. Loud Japanese pop music in background- wouldn’t mind if the volume were lower. I think it has a lot potential if the flavors were improved.
