We visited in person and, despite the restaurant not being crowded, our food took an exceptionally long time to arrive. Hoping for improvement, we placed an online order next, only to wait 50 minutes for a simple meal during a slow period. When we arrived on time to pick it up, we were told it would take an additional 15 minutes. At this point, we've decided not to return.

We dined in for dinner, spending about $20–30 per person. The food and service both deserve top marks. Highly recommend the Tempura Roll and Miso Soup. There’s also a wide variety of vegetarian options available.
