Lawrence ChenDecember 22, 2016I have been here for more than 50 times within two years. It is awesome but if you are picky, you will not satisfied to their sake. Come on,bring me some junmai especially Otokoyama like Zama do.
- Lawrence ChenJuly 4, 2018Great spot. I think I have been here over 50 times. Range from 2015 as a freshman and now I am graduating. Only one drawback, yakitori is really noisy as it is a ktv as well.Upvoted Sep 9
DK DavisNovember 1, 2011Fun place to go with a big group especially if you plan to do karaoke upstairs! Pretty much every thing I've ordered from the menu is good, authentic. Good sake cocktails, fair beer selection.
always a good option for food. sushi is good, skewers are good, brussel sprouts are good, service is good, beer is cold. you're welcome.- Lawrence ChenDecember 26, 2018Since more and more friends of mine choose to have ubereats. This is my 7-8th time here in 2018. Good as it is always. My birthday is January 1st, then pre celebration.
Aimee ShaferAugust 14, 2016Happy hour prices are great! They even let you do happy hour while sitting down for dinner. Loved the drinks, sushi and everything!
Allie IlaganJanuary 30, 2012Karaoke lovers unite! We like to eat in the sleek Japanese restaurant first, then rent a private room at the upstairs karaoke lounge. Where else can you sing your heart out to embarrassing 90s hits?
Emma McTagueOctober 24, 2016Fun for sake bombing. Food is pretty good too - trying stranger yakitori flavors is worth itUpvoted Sep 9
The ramen is not worth ordering. Yaki Onigiri always a treat. The green tea cream brulee dessert special was surprisingly delightful, not too sweet. Tuesday's draft specials $4 Sapporo and Hoegarden!
JessDecember 2, 2012Never rented a private room but getting song tickets and singing with strangers was a great time!
Love love love the sushi here. Fresh all the time. Staff is very friendly
Keri BrooksJanuary 5, 2015so much fun! the music selection needs some updating, but such a great time!- Lawrence ChenMay 27, 2017Another half year has passed. I came this place additional 20 times maybe. Hopefully they may rise the price too keep the site more silent. A girl came with me complained about noise made me so sorry.

Try their yakitoridon! It takes 45 mins, but it's worth the wait! For dessert, order their green tea fried ice cream :)
Christine BurgherSeptember 14, 2011I prefer the cold sake over the hot, but everyone has their own preference. Very cute place! And the sushi is pretty good!
Jaesi GoldsteinMarch 9, 2010The karoke rooms reminded me of my japan adventure, except we couldn't sneak in cocktail partners and they yelled at us for jumping on the couch. lots of fun, just don't jump on the couch.
$1 skewers on Tuesdays, $2.50 rolls on Wednesdays baby! Happy hour ain't too shabby either.
Kasual Owens-FieldsMarch 23, 2013Leave a tip for the bathroom attendants. They tend to be awesome. :)
KevinDecember 10, 2012Is it just me, or shouldn't Butthole Surfers and Bloodhound Gang be on the karaoke list?- Hassan YapulJune 2, 2014Do not get the chef special skewer on Sunday DiSgUsTiNg!!! :( uR fACe aFtEr fOoD ???mYsTeRy mEaT aNyOnE????
Happy hour is great $4 drinks... I luv Wednesdays here $2.50 sushi!!
kocoMarch 26, 2009Sometimes I just really want to go to an izakaya. Here's my philly solution to get my "japas" (what they've defined as Japanese tapas) on!
Definitely order the Saki-tini. It is the most delicious drink! Even cute boys like it!

"The variety of specialty rolls was tremendous. Gets crowded quickly and if there's a big group, you have a bit of a wait for your food. The staff was very nice when they had a chance to interact."
