I've had wings, edamame, spring rolls, don katsu chicken, and sushi. Everything was great. I'll keep going back for more.

The food was too spicy for me. The "music" was too loud. Service was good.

We got the chicken teriyaki and egg rolls. Every thing was fresh and tasty. The staff is so accommodating and generous, they make you feel so welcomed. The vibe in the store is cute. While we were waiting for our food there was some K-Pop music videos playing on a large screen TV. It kept us entertained for a few minutes. The whole store is a cool place. We got take out but wouldn't mind dining in on our next visit. We will definitely be back soon.
