I arrived alone with no reservation on a Monday night. Was seated promptly by the friendly hostess although they were jumping busy. Lively boisterous atmosphere with table seating, patio, bar or sushi bar. James Bond projected on the wall, music turned up and the staff merrily shouting orders and welcomes....Soft soft soft tuna belly...so good I wanted to order more...Assorted sashimi of salmon, tuna and scallop was beautifully presented. Chilled ramen noodle salad with lettuces and a delicious house dressing. Perfect for the hot humid weather. I spied on the dishes being rushed out past me and it ALL looked fantastic. Everyone looked so happy. No wonder it's busy. GO! PS the bartender put down everything he was doing just to run through the busy restaurant, open the door for me, say thank you and good night. That kind of personal attention is super appreciated by us solo diners. Thank you, will be back!!!

Great atmosphere and great food with consistently good service. The dinner portions are smaller, like at an izakaya, but their lunches are filling.
