    I went to this restaurant on a weekday at lunch time with a reservation, but I think we were the only group with a reservation, and there were few more seats left. I ordered a set with one onigiri, salad, miso soup and 2 side dishes (sashimi and Japanese omelet) for $23. I decided to upgrade the onigiri with a flavor (takana mentaiko) for I think $4 additional price. The ambience is cozy, well maintained and lots of natural light coming into the restaurant. I had to drive around to look for a street parking and walk. Overall, I would highly recommend the restaurant!
