“ Best sushi in San Diego. I highly recommend this place. Try the California roll and beer. ”
“ Good food! Loved the miso pork yakitori, gave so much portion. Service was nice and quick as well! The inside was cute too! And the music was very good, it feels like my playlist is playing. ”
“ Cruz and I loved this spot--easily the best ramen and sushi rolls in San Diego! The ramen was rich and flavorful, with perfectly cooked noodles, and the sushi rolls were fresh and absolutely delicious. The staff was friendly, the prices were reasonable, and we couldn't help but appreciate all the handsome men dining there! Great food, great service, and great views--what more could you want? We'll definitely be back! ”
“ Really liked the spot. Great service by the host. Good ambiance as well. They got great music playing in the background. ”
“ Great experience here tonight. Had a party of 7, called in to find out about the wait. I joined the waitlist about half hour before we wanted to eat and were seated with just a little wait. I liked that they don't rush people out. Helpful and kind staff. I liked the food; we tried a bunch of everything and were happy. My 2 year old ate up his ramen, edamame, and pork buns so that's my barometer for good. Highly recommend! Fun atmosphere! ”

“ The place is small but cute and already fully decorated for the holidays. We stopped by about an hour before closing, the place was not busy, we were greeted and seated instantly. The staff was very friendly and patient with the remainder patrons. We ordered the Mu Sake which was very nice, spicy scallop roll, some sashimi, a tasty beef tongue yakitori and spicy tonkotsu ramen. The tonkotsu broth was very tasty but it was only warm not hot. I liked that the bowl was pre loaded with all the usual toppings (corn, onions, ginger, etc). The "level 7" was not as spicy as adviced, so being curious of their "level 10" chili bomb hot sauce I asked for it and cautiously proceeded to add... it was spicier but still tolerable. Btw, at first taste in its own is spicy with a hint of sweet but doesn't change the tasty ramen broth after you mix it in. All in all good food and nice costumer service. ”
