A recent revelation in Humboldt dining, this ghost kitchen specializes in an intriguing array of Japanese dishes that have quickly won the hearts of diners. The chicken katsu stands out as a favorite, celebrated for its tender meat and flavorful, crispy breading. Unique offerings like sushi tacos enchant with their delicate flavors, while standout condiments, such as a delightful kimchi sauce, elevate the experience. Despite its takeout-only format, the restaurant's fresh, well-balanced dishes and prompt service make for an enjoyable dining experience. For anyone craving authentic Japanese cuisine, this spot should not be missed.

This placed showed up out of nowhere on my doordash and I'm so happy they did! They're very unique. The plates seem small, but I am always surprised with how full I am after I eat. The chicken katsu is BOMB. I love the spicy aioli and the pickled radishes. Prices are fair and definitely worth it. Would recommend.

Wow I've had a lot of sushi and this was easily the freshest and best tasting I've ever had! I got the taco Tuesday special, one spicy tuna and one lemon salmon sushi taco and they were both incredible. The flavors are delicate and well balanced. Ifyou like sushi you will not be disappointed!

Wonderful food. Best chicken katsu I've had in Humboldt for sure. Tender juicy tasty chicken, good crispy breading, and a sauce that was actually flavorful instead of just tasting like some sort of bbq'd alcohol goop. It is a ghost kitchen tho so there'sonly to go available, and I went not knowing this so I had to order in the cold with a worker that poked her head out of a doorfor ordering and taking payment. I will order online or call it in and pick up from now on for the intended experience.
