I have been wanting to try their happy hour deals for a while now & was finally able to yesterday! We got there 15 minutes after they opened and were already the 18th group on the waitlist, it’s a small restaurant and they do their best to seat people quickly and accommodate the influx of guests. I thought the food was great for the price & the experience was definitely worth the wait! If you put your name on the waitlist I recommend waiting in the line outside, if they call your name and you’re not there they will skip you!

Came here for happy hour with my friend, and I'd say we were pretty satisfied with the food overall. The overall atmosphere and service was pretty nice, and the interior was clean as well. The rolls were pretty good (definitely recommend the ones where it is 2 for $5), and I will definitely come back again.
