IrinaIrina: Go for the tasting menu (available on groupon) - great value and you get to try 6 courses!

Yu-MeiYu-Mei: Beef heart anticuchos, homemade burrata and whatever the specials are. Table seating is better than the cramped place settings at the bar at the open kitchen. Or head to the cozy bar alcove behind.

Adam S.Adam Sigel: Great place to get a glass or two of wine and try a couple small plates. We had savory vidalia onion churros last time. It’s like an onion ring only better in every way.

Kevin K.Kevin Kao: Amazing omakase. Loved the intimate setting with the chef. Had rare and delicious seafood like tairagai and ishidai. Nigiri was simple and highlights quality of fish

d g.d g: Sashimi is top notch, and now includes the richness of Hawaiian tradition, incorporating poke, and richer flavors in the new menu.

Seong H.Seong Hwang: Try loco moco and kalua pork onigiri. One may think it's a little expensive but considering a Japanese izakaya setting, it's reasonable.
