• Japanese • Downtown / North Loop
Booked 86 times today
We had: Pike road glass of wine Raspberry beret x2 Summer breeze (sake) B.A.D Boujee Number 9 George Clooney (but screaming O sounded good too) Yaki udon Just under $200 The food and drinks were all very good. The waitress was EXTREMELY helpful, even allowing me to try a couple sake’s before receiving a very generous pour. She was very pleasant while answering all of our questions- including’will the leftovers still be good the next day’. They were. But I would not wait more than 24 hours to eat them. Overall the 3 of us really enjoyed our meal! We were able to use a parking app and parked right across the street.

We tried the curry sushi and the house ramen and it was so delicious! The service was friendly and quick and their back patio is really cute (although a little loud with all the planes overhead) but I’d definitely go back!
