Street parking wasn't hard on this early Thursday dinner out with my 14yo who wanted ramen.We were fortunate to arrive during happy hour and the veggie trio (pictured was fantastic. I enjoyed a few other dishes as well as the nigori sake. The seabass oshizushi (pressed sushi, pictured really stood out as a unique but traditional item I haven't seen yet at other local sushi places. My kid reports the ramen as 10/10, mentioning the melt-in-your-mouth pork it contained. The broth was richly flavored (roasty almost? but light, not the super-thick tonkotsu you might find elsewhere.No credit card tipping (extra percentage added in menu prices left me feeling like it was a great value, but wished I could have tipped my server more for his very friendly service.Vegetarian options: The veggie trio in the happy hour menu delivered the marinated cucumbers (not spicy eggplant skewer, and cauliflower. My kid enjoyed avocado rolls and there were plenty of other veg options on the menu.Kid-friendliness: There are plenty of more plain options, but I think plenty of their dishes are approachable to many kids. Worst case there's always rice ?

Their seafood, which is sustainably sourced and very clearly of high quality, is prepared so well, from their fresh sushi to their marinated and grilled flying squid. And then there's the matter of their cocktails, which is to say they're awesome. We had the whole gamut, from a sparkling-jungle-bird inspired happy hour drink to their sesame-fat-washed old fashioned, and I still can't pick a favorite. Oh, and Ben (the bar manager) clearly loves what he does and is happy to go in depth on how he came up with his drinks. This place celebrates craft with every aspect of their menu, it's such a delight to walk into an unassuming place like this and be blown away by every aspect of the restaurant.
