Everything we ate and drank was amazing here! We had the sake flight, cha ya roll, cha ya rice bowl, eggplant roll, starlight roll and a salad. The cha ya roll was definitely my favorite, the presentation was fantastic and the women who served us were so sweet and knowledgeable! We brought our non-veg gluten free friends and they loved everything too. We will definitely go back next time we’re in town!

The food was good, the lady that served us was stunningly kind and nice about explaining the foods to us, the atmosphere was nice. They serve you water immediately after you get your seat and they come check if your glass is empty or not and keep re-filling it. The food arrives almost immediately and they give you wood sticks. There is a paper menu and an online one where you can check out the photos too :) The prices are acceptable and there is one bathroom at the end of the room and you kinda have to walk through the kitchen to get there, maybe it’s not the best thing, at least they are transparent about the cooking process though. We payed $61 for 4 meals + 1 desert. Much fair. I would recommend it! Very cute place for vegetarians and vegans as well. I think a lot of the stuff is gluten-free, too. All is cute and fun. Thank you love youu
