Amy C. • April 26, 2019Great airy tall space with pool table and nice mixologists. Fireplace too! Great for casual date place!

Rheya S. • March 29, 2019Little shop with good service and a great vibe. All of the nigiri that we ordered were absolutely delicious (the Hokkaido Uni was the best uni I’ve ever had), and the chawanmushi was amazing as well.

Shirley T. • January 27, 2019Must get: Beef tongue steamed buns, fried rice (with house made spam), tuna tartare on nori crackers , and of course, baked Hawaii !

Lina • May 31, 2019Loved the spinach salad! And the pinsas are delicious too!

Sabina B. • October 29, 2014Amazing, cheap banh mi ($5). As good as Saigon Sandwich and you won't have to fear for your life on the walk over. Great breakfast sandwiches as well.

Sabina B. • December 19, 2014Pros: delicious food, Stumptown coffee, sick dirty chai, and a cute space that's great for meetings. Cons: no wifi for customers (even tho they have it!), and (sometimes) snobby baristas

Diana B. • October 13, 2019Hidden gem! Great date/chill catch up spot. The owner is amazing and while there is no wine list, tell him what you’d like and he’ll set you up. Also has an upstairs lounge then can be rented out!
