    Menu online was not up to date . Appetizers were good liked the softshell, Shishito Peppers and Pork Gyoza. Sashimi was good as was the deserts and drinks . Server was a little overwhelmed but did a very good job.

    We love the classic Japanese pub atmosphere of this place. Cozy, lively, with great bar and table service. Apps to love are the pork egg rolls and the pork dumplings (seared). Get the miso soup, as well. My wife was satisfied with the apps and soup. I added the Salmon Teriyaki special which comes with rice and green salad (and miso soup). Marcus was attentive just enough not to be interrupting. We weren't rushed, and every bite satisfied. We'll be back!
