    Ate twice in 3 days. Super good food. Lunch Bento was really filling. Take the advice on the brussel sprouts! The fried dounut holes dessert was also very tasty.

    Great soundtrack, decent happy hour menu and hip restaurant. The food is ok, but don't get your hopes up if you're a Japanophile.

    iPad ordering seems like a good idea until you imagine where patrons of a mid-range sushi place have been putting their hands.
