The owner and staff are really great! They go an extra mile to serve. They also have a rich variety of dishes, which is why we were only able to try some since we're only a group of three. But their meal doesn't disappoint, as well as serving size.

We had a first visit in their new location on a special occasion. We enjoyed their sushi, sashimi and maki. Their version of miso ramen is though not much of my like, but it’s okay. The place has a good ambiance and staffs are friendly. They also offer free tea, served hot or cold depending on your preference. Their onigiri is also good and worth its price. Just didn’t like the okonomiyaki, as it is too thick and more on flour. Very generous in serving side dish and they also serve free dessert. Potato salad is good. Spacious parking just in front of the restaurant. Located on the 2nd floor, might just be a challenge for elderly or they may be guided but with extra care.

Wanted to commend the service of this restaurant I ordered the gyudon which was the priciest among our group’s orders. It took a while to arrive and I even thought they forgot about it. Once it was served, I was expecting it to taste great since it took the longest to serve and it was the most expensive among the orders. However, the taste was a bit bland and the beef was quite hard to chew. When we asked for the bill, I informed the waitress about my experience. I told her that all of the food tasted good except mine. I expressed disappointment but I did not get angry at them. The purpose of telling it was to hopefully improve the gyudon’s recipe, since I think customers should get their money’s worth. The waitress took note and apologized. When she returned to hand us the bill, she told us that the reason for the gyudon’s lackluster taste was it was the trainee who cooked it. The rest of the food was cooked by their head chef. She told us if we could wait for a bit because they were already cooking a new one to go. At first I felt bad because I thought the meal was going to be billed to the trainee and we honestly did not want any inconvenience. However they said it wasn’t going to be billed, they were just apologetic and wanted to make it up to us. They gave us the gyudon and asked for me to taste it first before we took it, and it was miles better than the first one they served. They were so kind and there wasn’t even any service charge. We tipped them because of their commendable service. The owner was also really nice. He was an old japanese man. At some point during our dinner, he went to our table and thanked us personally. He said it in japanese and tagalog He also did this to the other tables. While we were heading outside, the owner stopped us for a bit and gave a free yogurt drink to my niece who was just 2 years old. He was so jolly and even accompanied us on the way out. Hoping for this business to last a very long time!

They have great salmon nigiri but I would suggest asking for lemon the tempura is amazing and the ramen tastes great. The service here is incredible when I got here it was their break time but they opened the restaurant just for 5 people and the gestures they use are great. The atmosphere is nice and cozy.
