"This unadorned Richmond District treasure serves an elegant squid ink fried rice crowned with tobiko, where garlic and scallion “dot the scene” and chunks of squid are distributed throughout the rice so they provide chew without texture overload. The pop from the fish egg and the crisp fried garlic give balance, and ordering the quail—flambéed tableside—is recommended; as the server noted, he “fires a ton of them every night.” The reviewer frames the place as a potential lead ship in the west side’s restaurant armada, praising its straightforward, well-executed dishes." - Paolo Bicchieri
