" The sushi and ramen are both excellent, but I do think the yakitori could benefit from a bit more seasoning. The setting is nice, and the service is friendly. I would return, but with some adjustments on the order. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is a solid restaurant. Good flavor in the ramen and sushi, but I felt the overall experience was slightly hampered by the noise level. It was bustling, which can be fun, but I'd prefer a slightly quieter setting next time. " (*Curated Review*)
