"ambience and decor is cozy and cute, food is nice except the lunch bento is $18 for the smallest piece of salmon i’ve ever seen."
"It's very dark in this restaurant."

"The restaurant is below street level and thus dark."
"The overall appearance of the place was too gloomy."
Price
Pros:
"Their bento is essentially a course meal and only 25 so it’s pretty good."
"Prices are completely fair."
"Prices that are better."
"Price very reasonable considering the quality."
"you're really getting your money's worth (e.g. $16 nabuyaki udon but so much we couldn't finish it)."
"Decent prices and a pretty extensive menu beyond just sushi."
"The price is very reasonable for the quality of food (and the location)."
Cons:
"Ordered California roll, $7, finished with 5 bites the roll was not even the size of my palm."
"Slightly pricey but very nice for Manhattan sushi."
"Not a good experience of my last visit when you paid $100+ for all of these."
"The Toro was a bit below expectations in smoothness."
"A bit pricey, $4-5 per single piece of sushi."
"The specialty rolls were fine, but the bento box was pretty mediocre. At $25, the salmon teriyaki bento box tasted like microwaved cardboard."
"The crabmeat is imitation mixed with some gross mayo, crunch disguised as snow crab legs."
Gratuity
Pros:
"Tips are already included on the bill. Not sure why they do that, but be aware so you’re not double tipping by mistake."
Cons:
"What I don't like about this restaurant is they put the GRATUINITY / TIP on their own."
"They decide for the amount that you have to give them."
"They also charged me a 18% gratuity for a small table."
"So after providing additional 2 dollars I catch the waiter making fun of me."
