   Food is still so so good although they do not have a liquor license right now, so it was very disappointing! I was looking forward to their great cocktails - would’ve been nice to be notified prior

   This place has gone downhill every time I’ve been there. The food used to be amazing when they only had one ramen (chicken ramen) on the menu. They did that very well. And the duck onigiri which I miss so much. Now it’s overpriced and mid tasting sushi, with mediocre ramen and they’re always understaffed. One time they asked a table next to us to leave so they could turn it and the table replied that they had asked for their check 30 min ago. The last time we went we found out they lost their liquor license and are being sued for wage theft among other crimes. We won’t ever be back. I hope it closes and a better one opens as we don’t want this kind of place in fishtown.

   Beautiful experience for me and my teenage kids. The only hiccups were in seating and initial wait time. Other than that, we couldn’t stop raving about the food!

   The food tastes great! The tonkotsu ramen was delicious, as was the sushi. The service was not so good. The host was doubling as a server, so when we arrived, there wasn’t anybody at the host stand and we waited for a while. Once sat, the server came infrequently, so we tried our best to ask for everything all at once.

   Disappointed that restaurant did no read note that we were celebrating a birthday. They had no Shochu and no mochi. The staff was just not very receptive or warm to customers.

    We ordered cocktails and food on Saturday night for 4. After waiting a long time to order the cocktails, our appetizers and ramen for 3 and cocktails all came at the same time. Then another 45 min wait for the 4th person’s sushi dinner. We were told after the fact that it was a “free flowing kitchen” and how many orders were ahead of ours. Perhaps, but maybe the hostess should not put her sushi order in during dinner rush while customers are waiting for theirs. Nothing about this was “free or flowing”. It was a mess. Expensive for just ok and not going back.
