Been here a few times. There's parking around the area. On a Saturday night, the parking lot was busy. We've never had to wait for a table which is perfect. Service is always good. Friendly staff and great menu selections. Food: Pork Jowl Spicy Tuna Roll Agedashi Tofu Shrimp Tempura Hamburger and Egg Steak I personally did not like the flavor / taste of the spicy tuna roll. I did however enjoy everything else. The shrimp Tempura was a bit small in size but glad they gave us 4 instead of 3. I enjoyed the salted jowl. Overall, great spot for late night dining.

Dining at Its Izakaya felt like stepping into a cozy restaurant in Japan. The interior was warm, inviting, and authentically styled, creating a truly enjoyable atmosphere. The service was also exceptional—our server was very friendly and made a great impression by asking about any food allergies before taking our order. We tried a variety of yakitori, including different cuts of chicken, beef tongue, and vegetables. Everything was grilled perfectly and full of flavor. The grilled mackerel (saba) was a standout, especially with the sauce—it was delicious. The only dish that didn’t quite hit the mark was the asparagus with bacon yakitori. It was overly salty, and we ended up leaving one piece on the plate. To our surprise, the server noticed and asked if something was wrong. We explained, and she sincerely apologized. That small gesture showed genuine care for the customer experience, which we really appreciated. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I look forward to returning to try more dishes.

Went here just to pick up takoyaki since I was craving it bad, and now I have to go here for a full meal soon. Amazing hospitality and kindness from the front staff, very warm and inviting. Clean and amazing atmosphere. The food was incredible and fresh. Definitely coming back🫶🏻

Can't believe that I found a fantastic izakaya restaurant in Las Vegas, with fresh sashimi, especially sweet raw shrimp! I love it. They also have happy hours for the draft beer just $4-6 plus tax for me all the price is reasonable and acceptable in Las Vegas, last but not least all the staffs were friendly and service minded.

This Izakaya is a gem! The food is delicious, with a great variety of authentic Japanese dishes that are perfect for sharing. The atmosphere is lively yet cozy, making it a great spot for a night out with friends. The staff is friendly and attentive, adding to the overall enjoyable experience. Highly recommended!

This place has to be the most fun, most chill, and most welcoming on Spring Mountain Road. It’s a bold statement and I stand by it! As soon as you enter, you’d be immediately greeted with big genuine smiling faces. You can feel the high energy surrounding you and cannot escape this intoxicating fun vibe. All the dishes were beautifully created for our enjoyment. Moreover, they are FRESH! To truly top it all off, the celebratory fire spewing candles sending birthday greetings. This place is great for date night, girls or guys night out, and friends or family gatherings.

This has become my new favorite spot in Vegas. The food is amazing. I can’t really pick a favorite but I recommend the skewers, especially the pork belly and chicken skin, no sauce, just salt. The pork jowl skewer is also good. I wasn’t a fan of the chicken hearts. They were a bit tough so I didn’t order them again. I prefer the ones at izakaya go. Their wonton tacos are surprisingly huge. Their katsu curry is excellent. It is a little spicy, which I’m totally here for. Their poke bowl is another standout, and the katsu bowl is also a good choice. There’s still a lot more to try, which I’ll do next time. Prices are very affordable. The ambiance is great and the service is outstanding. The staff are all amazing.

I always ordered a Kaisen don on DoorDash at this specific location because I think they have the best variety and quality out of all the Kaisen don I've had in Vegas (I've tried a lot). My friend wanted to go here for dinner one day and I didn't realized this was the same place until I saw their Kaisen don in person. It was my first time ever dining at the restaurant. I think they have amazing prices, big enough menu for anyone to enjoy, and fresh seafood. They have happy hour as well. Really like the food here, and it's probably one of my favorite izakaya. Service was also impeccable. My friends and I were catching up for a long time and not once did they interrupt us or rush us to leave (usually other restaurant would hand you a check even though you haven't asked for it). We also didn't feel neglected because they did check in on us at the right time. Place was clean and ambiance was nice.

Great overall experience. The food, service and vibe/ambiance were great! Izakaya came recommended by some local friends. The 6 of us were comfortably seated in a large booth. Reviewing the menu was hard since so many dishes were appealing. When ready to order simply push the button on the table and our server arrived. She was very energetic and friendly. We order many items, such as, Pork Belly, Poke Tacos, Crab Crispy Rice, grilled squid, squid karage, cauliflower, skewers/satay and 2 sushi rolls recommended by our server. One of which was a roll topped w eel. The eel was huge. A whole filet of eel was placed on top of the roll before it was sliced. The eel hung over both ends and was thick and wide!! The other was a Goblet of Fire. Spicey w a white tuna. Delicious!!! The grilled squid was perfectly cooked. I highly recommend the Poke Taco, it was inside a nori crust shell filled and tasty. Dessert was Black Sesame Pudding, Mochi bites, and Strawberry Creme Toast The toast was soooo good. Basically the best tasting french toast with ice cream and whipped cream. Very good food, vibe and service!! Highly recommended!

A solid five stars I would say I went to heaven when I ate the blue crab taco. It was unexpected amazing, and there were different flavor textures that I never thought would happen and the thing that surprised me. The most was the outer seaweed really did feel and seem like a taco it was made in such a creative way with huge lumping of crab meat. OK beyond dreaming about that taco I would say the $35 chef choice for 15 pieces of sushi is such a great deal I mean overall every aspect of this place from the service to ambience to the taste of the food was top-notch so I can see why yelpers rave about this place. I mean you have to look at the pictures and see what we got all amazing food and I feel like I ate enough for three people. The price is unbeatable for the value and the amount of sushi that they give you so if you are in Vegas and you have a car, this is the place to go. Make sure you try to get happy hour.

ITs IZAKAYA was a fantastic take on the traditional Japanese bar experience, at a casual setting. As a person who was born and raised from Japan, I frequently shy away from Japanese establishments outside the country as I'm worried about overpriced, unauthenic experiences but ITs IZAKAYA provided quality fish at reasonable price points! I absolutely loved it. The great part about this place was the weekday Mon-Thurs happy hour for the budget conscious individuals. Food review: Appetizers: Shishito peppers (5/5): Great option for a bit of non-spicy greens with savory sauce. Great portion sizes and perfect for sharing. Softshell crab (5/5): I always order this whenever I can and I love the crunch of the shell with the flavorful morsels of crab. Agedashu Tofu (3.5/5): Compared to other choices, a bit underwhelming but I liked the warm tofu in light crunchy skin in light umami sauce. Takoyaki (4/5): Nothing much to add, a good takoyaki. Mains: Salmon & ikura bowl (5/5): A great value for $12, there was a whole layer of salmon and ikura in the middle. The rice was also seasoned, awesome item. Chirashi bowl (5/5): Had a good assortment of fish and was filling. Dragon roll (5/5): Generous roll with unagi. A must recommend for any unagi lover. Drinks - Lemon Highball (5/5): Refreshing, carbonated almost like a seltzer despite having a shot of whiskey. Long review but the tldr; was that it provided great variety all around and amazing Japanese food! Would come again!

This place is a great late night option. The interior is designed in a modern Asian izakaya theme. Food options are awesome, and for late night options probably one of the best and healthiest options. They are open till 0200 last call at 0130. Still a good option. Service is great and friendly environment. This will be one of our late night go tos.

Fresh fish and good food. We had oysters, unagi, grilled mackerel, salmon over sesame rice, grill calamari, beef rice donbari, and the outrageous super crab/unagi roll. Everything was good cooked with a balance of taste and texture. The only fault is that the staff though friendly and professional, did not come to check on our experience. Yes there's a button to push to get their attention. In summary, the food was good, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the staff very friendly. Worth a return.

This review is for June 13 and May 27. We love coming here. This is our new spot ands we love it here because they have an extensive menu and they serve it in appetizer sizes. Their fish tastes so fresh and they prepare their food well. I love their Mentaiko pasta. This time I tried other dishes, I love their raw oysters, tasted sweet. The sashimi salad is good, rainbow roll is tasty, thick and I noticed the rice they used is kinda gravy like Hawaiian rice. I love the netted shrimp it was my first time trying the netted shrimp and I like it. AB's the agedashi tofu is tasty. Service is good. If you need help just use the buzzer provided. My only gripe are the seats. They're hard and since I have a bad back I can sit that long. They have foams that you can sit on but they're very thin. The restaurant has a very nice interior, nice decorations, floors are clean and bathrooms are clean and well maintained.

One of the best sushi experiences I've had in Las Vegas for a reasonable price. The booths are super spacious and there's a button to request service. I am 100% coming back. - blue fin tuna nigiri and scallop nigiri: SO good. Thick slices that were so, so fresh. - salmon and sweet raw shrimp nigiri: these were just okay. The small portion sizes were very underwhelming. - negitoro taco and blue crab meat taco: the toro and crab itself was yummy. But I actually did not care for the rice or taco shell concept. But I will give credit for the amount of crab and toro they loaded in there. - yellowtail carpaccio: good, nothing to complain about - honey toast: can't go wrong!

So disappointed with our first dinner experience. The food was great, except for the complimentary miso soup, in which the tofu pieces tasted sour (WTH?!). We ordered the following for party of six: Gyoza Fried squid Spicy yellow tail sushi Hamachi collar Shrimp tempura Rainbow roll Agedashi tofu Seafood ramen Edamame Everything tasted great, but why the two stars review?! The service was HORRIBLE & INATTENTIVE. Disorganized in terms of servers & expeditors. Staffs disappeared most of the night, so we had to flag people down (multiple times) to receive service - unacceptable!

I'm not giving a 5 star review yet, bc honestly i have yet to try more things on their menu bc every time I go I get the same thing lol. That "thing" that I get is the salmon ikura bowl. It is probably the best deal for this type of bowl in Las Vegas ($13). A generous bowl of salmon with an adequate amount of ikura in the center on top of a seasoned rice concoction that I'm not 100% sure what's in it, but it's good. It's not just rice it's mixed with some type of sauce so the rice is kinda "wet" not what you think bare rice would be like. I've also had the "Kasien Bowl" which is a larger bowl of an assortment of different types of sashimi & ikura (as you can tell ikura is like one of my favorite things) I like that part of the selection is amaebi and they give you the fried head separately. It's a refreshing bowl of sashimi and is a step up from your standard chirashi bowl($26) I really wanted this next bowl to be like how they have it in the menu, but I ordered the "Hokkaido Uni & ikura w/ snow crab bowl) I appreciated that the waiter mentioned that 1. It's not nearly as big as it is shown in the photo on their menu (it's the smallest bowl that I've had there) and 2. That it only comes with 3 pieces of uni :( for the price ($26) I'm not quite sure it was worth it bc the Kaisen bowl is the same price and it's like twice the amount of food. But I guess it was ok if you want more premium seafood. Also bc of the size don't make it your main dish it's more like a teaser. Service was good and they have these little buttons at your table if you need to get the attention of your waiter, which is nice. Overall, the value is good and the dishes have been good. I'll be coming back to try more stuff

Food was not that good. The yakitori was dry. I think they just grill the meat and call it yakitori and they try to fancy it up. The miso was watery. The garden salad was spicy. They said it was pepper ball they put in it. Not sure why my sushi was served in a soup bowl. And the place smelled like disinfectant.

I typically love trying new places but whenever I'm in Vegas, I'd want to stop by here! It's a tiny bit off the strip near Chinatown but it's worth it for some izakaya. There's no wait and the restaurant is calm away from the Vegas vibes. Service is amazing and food is great! It had a wide variety of Japanese food so there's always something you would want to eat! Yakitori and sushi were all reasonably priced too. I coincidently went during happy hour and my salmon and ikura bowl was 20% off. All the skewers were delicious too, not too salty. It was surprisingly alot of food, we had to take some to-go.

I've DoorDash from here and the food was delicious! I ordered the Kaisen bowl, tonkatsu curry, edamame, California roll and agadashi tofu. The kaisen bowl was so yummy, the rice was perfectly cooked and majority of the seafood was fresh besides the uni. My husband said the tonkatsu curry was flavorful. Portions were generous and pricing was on point. Next time we are in Vegas and staying off the strip, I want to dine here to try the other dishes!

Great food + Great service + Great ambiance! Just landed in Vegas and was craving for some bomb food! My bestfriend recommended this place since she found it off Yelp. The decor inside is super cute, spacious & lots of seating. The food that they are known for is their sushi tacos! They are massive! It could feed 2 people, literally bigger than a Taco Bell taco. The shell is made out of seaweed, filled with a decent amount of rice and a generous serving of whatever protein you choose. I definitely want to be back again before I leave.

Words cannot describe how this spot was like being shown Heaven's Gate. My friend and I were in town for the Olympia because I had an athlete in it and she had a booth to work. Bodybuilders, we love our food So we wanted Asian food. Found this one spot and got an Uber there, walked in and walked out immediately. So we walk 5-10 min up the road and stumble onto this spot We walk in, and we're the only non Japanese people. Great sign. Well we look at the menu and want to try a bunch of things but could NOT believe the prices. So goddamn cheap. So we got a few things First and foremost, the Takoyaki is the best I have ever had and I have had my fair share. This has ruined all other for me We also got a chicken katsu bowl, gyoza, spicy garlic edamame and a poke salad. Total was under $50 and we went in at like 10:45pm. Waitress was super friendly and all the other people were having a grand time slamming sake

If you're looking for an added twist along with traditional Japanese dishes, this is the right spot for you. I ordered several items and my favorite was the ITs Izakaya roll. The service was good and I liked their booths which offered some privacy.

Honestly this was a little disappointing!! We wanted to try this restaurant because all of the good reviews, pictures, and menu variety. The food looks delicious and is presented beautifully, but most of the items had little to no flavor. My table ordered mostly appetizers and yakitori, so maybe the sushi rolls are better? We were most disappointed in the beef tongue yakitori as it was overcooked and chewy. The sizzling eel, spicy garlic edamame, and pork belly yakitori were our favorites, and saved this meal for sure. Our servers were really nice and took care of us though, so thank you!! There are definitely better Japanese restaurants in the area that have more flavor for roughly the same price.

No reservations needed. Came in right when they opened & was seated right away. Waiters were accommodating and answered all our questions regarding the menu and how the service bell works. Lots of parking available. Ambience was very relaxing and enjoyable to look at. FOOD: We got a couple skewers (very limited choices), half dozen oysters, the large sashimi combo, a roll (not pictured) and the salmon ikura bowl - between 2 people; this filled us right up. I would definitely recommend the salmon ikura bowl out of everything we ordered. Rice had seasonings and the ikura and salmon tasted so well together! I'd skip on the other skewers but if you were to order I'd probably only get the pork belly again.

This is my go-to casual spot. I've probably tried 20 different items and nearly zero misses. Cheap beer and skewers is my usual order. Nigiri/sashimi was surprisingly good. Pastas were good too. Service is always fast and friendly. Very comfortable atmosphere. Open late. Love this place.

Ended up coming here after the wait at a neighboring spot was too long, and it 100% did not disappoint! Inside is cute and we ended up waiting ~30 mins around 8pm for a party of 8 with no reservation. Service was good, nothing extraordinary but met expectations nicely. I got the chirashi bowl which was slightly smaller than I expected but I wasn't mad since the quality was definitely there! My friend got the kaisendon which had a few extra pieces of fish and variety and I would probably opt for this instead next time. Super worth it for the amount and quality (includes uni!) We also shared the grilled squid which was not too fishy and cooked perfectly (not too chewy, not too soft). Overall, would recommend if you're looking for a smaller, more intimate japanese restaurant open late and away from the action on the strip!

My first time and last, I was disappointed by the poor service and subpar food quality. In my opinion, the quality of service is far more important than the quality of food.

Still our favorite local affordable dine-in and take-out Izakaya. Full price is worth it too. Daily Happy hour Open/530pm-9pm are for beers, and then M-R is 20%off most items. We visit at least once a month. Who needs ayce when you can order variety from here (We are mostly nigiri/sashimi/less rice/tapas lighter type eaters for ayce). Not the best, but the best bang for your buck for what we like to order. Daily specials/Happy Hour: 530pm open-9pm for 20%off sushi (exclude combos, special rolls and oysters). And 9pm-last call: 10% Kitchen items. If you dine in, you get miso soup per person. Full Price: This is our usual take out when craving a mini meal, or pretty hefty snacking for 2. $12 Salmon and Ikura (salmon eggs) bowl (favorite best bang for buck item) $6.50 Yellowtail Hand roll (small cut rolls and handrolls are cheaper than other places). $8 Shishamo Smelt Fish. $4-$5 A Taco or Ika small dish. (Sometimes $15 Yellowtail Collar) We no longer order these as take-out: $4 Taco Wasabi. Premixed, so it's too spicy for us. $6 Shishito Pepper. A bit too spicy for me too now. Other Items we'd consider now (Ate with friends): - Clam soup comes with a lot of clams and mussels. The soup is light and tasty. Not overly salty. - $10 Tacos are HUGE!!! They were decent, okay. Great for anyone who like baked mixed type ingredients. I love that they use seaweed (and light tempura batter) as the taco shell. We got the blue crab, and the soft shell crab. We would not get the yakitori. Oyster are okay (I'm particular). Squid was okay but not something we'd order here. We're okay about the rolls (we're just into simple ones, but friends loved the specialty ones). Again we are locals who can be particular with local choices. For most diners, everything is fine.

We enjoyed great service at Its Izakaya. It was easy to add to our order and our water cups were filled. The hamachi kama and takoyaki were among the best we've ever had. All of the sushi was good to great. Definitely check this place out for a great meal with lots of variety. Come hungry.

We wanted Japanese food an I love Izakayas so I saw high reviews of this place and wanted to check this out! Our party had four people and we came during HH. The service was great, such friendly staff and the place was so cute. But food was okay! I frequent good izakaya pretty often back at home in SoCal so this was just so so. The miso soup that came out was so watery and .. bland. It was the first time I had miso soup at a restaurant that was not overly salty but tasted like water.. but I was thirsty and it was warm so I still drank it.. Yakitori - presentation was nice but the meat itself was overcooked.. we ordered the chicken set and I think the thigh and skin were the only good ones. The gizzards, heart was way overcooked it was super tough/chewy. I think the wings were okay. Large sashimi combo was good! Their salmon was good. We also got the fresh clam capriccio and sashimi. The capriccio was much better, the sashimi clam was very fishy. Talking about a bit fishy, the uni pasta was very fishy.. it was not bad but the uni was very fish and they also used it in the sauce so it's super thick.. I was the only one among our party to eat this the most because I love pasta but I dont think it was our favorite dish. We also got the Hamachi Kama and this was huge! This was really good though. Overall I think we liked the sashimi combo and the hamachi Kama the most! I forgot what else we got but I couldn't remember now.. this was over Labor Day weekend. I think if you like izakaya and HH you should check them out. Staff was super friendly!

Not ayce but MAN is it good, reminds of sushi quality back on Guam. It's truly crazy how they bring this quality here to Vegas. No other restaurant even comes close, so authentic so flavorful, WOW ambiance is also super nice very intimate and the music be jamminggg, and the customer service is super sweet as well. Didn't get a photo it was that good

This is definitely one of my favorite places to go to when it comes to an izakaya (sushi and skewers). Other notable mentions that are similar to this is Hachi and Ichiza, so if you like those places then you'd like this place. The ambiance of this place is fun as it is a good place to order drinks and get food. I've been here on multiple occasions and they even brough out our sake like we were at the club on the strip. The prices of the sushi are pretty decent, but I highly suggest getting the Chef's Choice Plate Sushi (Omakase) which is probably your best bang for your buck. If you're not into sushi, I'd recommend getting the Skewer set. But the thing I would say about the skewer set is that if you're not eating it fast enough, the skewers do get cold. If you don't plan to eat that much, I'd suggest ordering each individually as you go. If you're craving sushi rolls, I'd suggest the Midnight In Paris as it is jam packed with flavor. Overall if you're looking to have a few drinks and some good food this is definitely a place I'd suggest visiting. It is also open late which is a plus that adds onto those factors.

[Review is based on regular pricing, not happy hour pricing.] Overall, pretty disappointing after seeing the glowing reviews. The service was good but the taste was mediocre. Sushi combo ($35) - this was okay, some pieces were good and some (like the tuna) were not great. Shrimp & Vegetable Tempura - pretty tasty. They messed up our order and only gave us the Vegetable Tempura. After notifying them, they gave us the Shrimp Tempura on the house, which was nice. Yakitori (Sirloin and Pork Belly) - not good. I would expect this to be where they shine as an Izakaya but both skewers were dry and just not worth $4 per piece. Draft beer specials ARE a great deal, which is definitely a selling point.

Super mixed review so bear with me. Service here is exceptional. I came here once for takeout out and the server remembered me when I came back to dine in with my partner a few weeks later. Food came out fast and hot. The happy hour deal is ok, although the food portions were much larger than expected. The restaurant overall is cute and cozy with a clean dining area. I love the Studio Ghibli artwork headed towards the restroom area. Regarding the food, the tempura udon was phenomenal. I love that the broth was piping hot and very flavorful with the udon being perfectly cooked. The Tempura was also fried very nicely with the breading being very crispy, but not overly oily. The crazy dragon roll was also delicious. I was a bit hesitant at first at how large each bite was, but the balance of flavor between the eel and the crab was ideal. The taco sansai was my personal favorite since the texture of the octopus was perfect and the sweetness of the mirin added a nice balance to the salty flavor. We ended up having to send back the poke taco since it seemed like the masago was turning and it also lacked flavor which could easily be fixed with a bit of sesame oil the way poke is normally prepared. Although we didn't send back the Tuna Tataki Salad, it did arrive with quite a few rotted leaves which we ended up picking out (pictured). The vinaigrette dressing on the salad was delicious, though it would be better if it were tossed so it's coated evenly, versus drizzled on top. Seems like a great hidden gem and would love to give this place another try just at the fact of how great the service was.

First time trying and were left more than satisfied!! We ordered seaweed salad, fried squid, salmon and ikura bowl, hamachi carpaccio, blue crab taco, 2 pc blue fin tuna and hamachi kama. Everything was sooooo good!! The quality and freshness was amazing. The best part of our dining experience was our server Noel. She was so helpful and friendly as we expressed to her that it was our first time coming here. She recommended and shared her favorites, which we were so grateful for. The entire staff was great but Noel definitely stood out with her warmth and genuine spirit. We will definitely be coming back!!

Great atmosphere! Blinking Xmas lights are a bit much though. Great food! Ordered a ton of food. Yellowtail carpaccio and spicy garlic edamame was my favorite Hot sake and jasmine green tea were delightful. Service was excellent. Not too packed for a Thursday night. Loved their wall art. Lots of Studio Ghibli vibes.

Service is excellent (super friendly and reliable staff) 5/5. The parking, vibe and accessibility 5/5 But the food? Eh...2.5/5 at best. The Yakitori wasn't very memorable and they all hardened and dried up quickly if you didn't eat immediately. Because I loved the staff and energy inside, I'll bump this up to 3 stars. Also had the chicken Yaki Udon. It was blegh, I mean, it was ok, but given the options in Vegas this was just not as good. I could eat here again if I had no other choice, but nothing was really memorable.

This is my top choice for izakaya right now. I am loving all the Japanese foods that aren't just regular sushi or nigiri. Service was a tad slow at times and had to grab their attention at times and remind them of certain items that was missing but the food was on point that I couldn't mind it as much. The place has ample seating with booths all over. The sushi tacos are huge, though they were little ones but they're gigantic. I really enjoyed the scallop with uni, grilled squid + whole fish, eggplant, chicken skin + chicken breast no salt + shishito skewers. Would definitely come again and again!

This might be the best mid tier sushi place in all of Vegas. The service was nice and the nigiri set was honestly such good value. The skewers were also pretty tasty as well and we got the chicken combo. I don't have much else to say about it, it exceeded my expectations given the price point on the sushi. Really good quality in the nigiri set as well. Anytime I ask where the scallop and uni is from and they answer Hokkaido, say less.

We love it here. Everything we tried is so good. Service is prompt. Place is clean. Our favorite is the yellow tail carpaccio, yellow tail collar, and soft shell crab.

Let me tell you something about this place--the food is consistently great. From the flavor to the portion sizes, everything is usually spot on. We've been here many times, and only on a couple of occasions did the portions fall slightly below our expectations. What truly makes us keep coming back, though, is the service. Sophia and Natalia are the heart of this restaurant. They are always polite, welcoming, and incredibly attentive. We see Sophia more often as our server, while Natalia is usually busy setting up or cleaning tables to ensure a smooth experience for every guest. As for the ambiance, this is hands down our favorite izakaya. The cleanliness--from the tables to the restrooms--is exactly what we expect when dining out. It truly sets the standard for an enjoyable experience. Honestly, I hesitated to write this review because we'd love to keep this hidden gem to ourselves. But Sophia and Natalia deserve to be recognized for their hard work, excellent service, and warm hospitality. Ps: Jun the manager sometimes excellent while the other server they just ok.

Food was solid and such a great value. Me and a friend ordered 5-6 things and a beer each and our bill was 50 ish dollars total before tax and tip. And it was all good tasting. Maybe not fine dining level but hit the spot Ambience was nice and well lit but not too bright. Also plenty of walking space so it didn't feel cramped Very friendly staff. Waitresses were very peppy and friendly.

Great food, great staff, and cute ambiance. Had the chef's sushi plate and shrimp and vegetable tempura. The tempura wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was good and hit the spot. Also admittedly, I initially thought the slices of nigiri could perhaps been a little thicker but of the 15 pieces provided (and they give a good selection too which mine included uni and not like 8 white fish like some other places might), I only finished 12 :( so it really is the perfect little sampler serving. They all tasted fresh. Sake was also very reasonably priced in my opinion. Service was great. All the workers were really friendly and on top of anything I might need. Very friendly and familiar with local regulars. Would definitely be back!

Well my last review was a 4 star for their 6 dollar scallop which is no longer 6 dollars so I must adjust accordingly...PLUS we ordered some skewers which were horrendous. If you had to compare the quality of the skewers to Hachi, Raku and even omakase kyara you will laugh like bob dole when he played pickle ball. The hamachi kama was good though, so get that. Agedashi tofu, under flavored and slightly cold. Potato Croquette was also not hot enough and made it very skeptical for a fried dish.
