Leon Wong: Weekly specials (served until 7pm) are a real draw. For $6.50, you get authentic home cooking. Just get here early for dinner to beat the bargain hunters. Mini chirashi is best sushi deal in town.
Dermot D.: Tried the Chashu Ramen with shoyu. I will try it with miso next time.
Tom McGhan: The beef tongue 'skewer' is $6, making it the priciest of its section, but the portion is large and even comes with grated radish and a side salad!

Wendell Robinson: All of the small plate selections I tasted were fabulous, not good...fabulous. Duck confit lettuce wraps were amazing and so was the quail, the tuna carpaccio and the classic filet beef carpaccio.
Charles Kim: Duck strudel is absolutely delicious!!
Claire Bowman: Vanessa's daughter gave the most awesome service ever at the bar - and on valentines day! The food is delectable. Try the filet mignon salad.
