    Excellent food and service! Never disappoints. The atmosphere is modern, just a bit too dark so it’s hard to read the menus and see the food. Otherwise we love everything about this place. Best sushi and maki in town.

    First time at this restaurant. It is perfect for a quick bite and pre game at the TD Garden. It is very much family style dining with long tables where you sit next to complete strangers or booths if you are a party of 4. We loved the food. We had the duck (very different with taco's to roll) we would have liked the traditional cucumber to accompany. The ribs where to die for and the fried dumplings had the best pork filling. The cocktails were equally good. This is the Japanese fast food restaurants with yummy food. Our servers China and Melanie where both attentive, nice and very hard working. I give this place 5 stars for what it does. Everyone around us had Ramen and bowls were emptied. Always a good sign.
