    Love how this place is a little hidden, feels like you've found a secret spot. Affordable sushi and delicious creative sake cocktails.

    Incredible (and authentic) Japanese restaurant/bar. There was great atmosphere, the service was amazing and friendly, and the food was spectacular. They even had Japanese chefs in the kitchen!

    Love the lunch sets here, especially the salted grilled fish (shio saba). Low key, casual, and somewhat romantic.

    Nice selection of sake's. Good atmosphere during the weekdays as well as on the weekends. Pretty authentic Japanese sake bar even though it's in Koreatown.

    Among the wide selection of tapas are Berkshire pork tempura, a salad carpaccio with Japanese miso dressing, grilled skewers and futomaki sushi.

    Make sure you check your bill they mark everything as "todays special" and sometimes just add dishes to large tabels.
