"Really nice place, the upper room is nice with the low tables and tatamis.
The menu is short but it is really good.
More vegetarian or vegan option please 🙏"

"I love the food!
I am vegetarian and I appreciate that they have vegetarian options every night. We tried the vegetarian ramen and the tofu, and both were delicious. Staff was also very friendly!
Will go back for sure!"
