Easy to find, easy in and out, and solid tasty dish. I had the spicy tuna poke, 1/2 rice & 1/2 salad, all the toppings, and spicy poke sauce. It wasn’t actually spicy, but it was tasty and was just what I was looking for. Nice little gem in the area.

My boyfriend and I walked in right as they were about to stop taking orders to close for the night and the staff was so sweet to us even though they were about to close up. The kind gentleman who took our order even gave us extra containers of fried rice with our meals! I got the chicken katsu and my boyfriend got the chicken teriyaki/beef bolgogi combo and both plates were delicious!! Will definitely be coming back soon, thank you for making our night!

This place has not changed and I love it for it. Long time ago when I was younger and full of vigor I ate here constantly. I was addicted to that great chicken bowl with the thick teriyaki sauce. Well I ordered that same dish when I stopped by on a whim. It's the same! Oh, I was in heaven. I also got a side of gyoza which was also delicious. The same owners from all those years ago to round it out. I'm sad to see the other poor reviews for this place, because I still think it's great.
