Reviews
We tried this place one night, right after work. The food was ok; the service was very good, the young servers were super sweet and nice. The ambiance was great as well. Thank you.
Very good food. We had the lunch box with chicken. The service is good and enjoy eating here when we are in the area.
Sweet baby Jesus this place is awesome. Good is delicious and staff is great. Atmosphere is great for private dining.
Pulled off I-75 to grab a bite and found this tiny Japanese restaurant in small yellow building with a hand full of parking spaces. Seated by all non Asian staff my Asian counterparts where instantly scared. For appetizers had the gyoza both fried and steamed and shrimp tempura where great. The sushi rice was a odd choice compared to normal sushi rice but was it was surprisingly good. The soups the miso was not so good but the onion one was fantastic. The salads where fresh and crisp with both the sweet and ginger dressing choices being equally good. The entree's where cooked well and descent portions for pricing. We ordered all three of the deserts and split them nice big shareable portions they where all as good as they look check the pictures. All in all a odd surprise, authentic maybe not, good most definitely.
We have always visited their Gainesville location so this was our first time at this location. Food was just as delicious as if it had been cooked in front of you. Service was great, restaurant was clean and enjoyable. Unfortunately I didn't take picture of our food but I had the shrimp tempura and a tiger eye roll (I think that's what it was called) and both were great! They were not shy with their helpings. Will definitely go back.
