What an amazing experience. We ordered the Red Dragon Roll, Volcano Roll, Shrimp Spicy Mayo & Crawfish Salad, plus a carafe of Hot Saki - Super Delicious !!! Beautifully plated, served promptly- fantastic service. Very reasonable prices as well. We will definitely return on our next trip.

I think the service and people were great. The atmospher is very cool, but the food was “so so”. The karage was not great. I think they need to change the oil in the fryer. I got same taste from the takoyaki. The corn appetizer was good. Seemed like a version of Mexican Street corn. I would recommend that. Also $11.00 pitchers of Sapporo. Beer was cold, and it was a full sized pitcher served with frosted pint glasses. I couldn’t give it four stars, but I would go back.
