Food Quality

Cons:

• "The avocado was very brown and old."
• "Additionally, the sushi was very mediocre."
• "The lamb chops were inedible. I've never tasted anything like it before."
• "Our chicken teriyaki was fine, but our sushi, Korean style fries and takoyaki were not good."
• "The sushi was not that great either, I've had better supermarket sushi."
• "The only thing we didn't like too much was the fried signature roll."

Ambience

Pros:

• "Fantastic place! The ambience is real nice and everything is very clean."
• "Super fun atmosphere, especially at night."
• "The atmosphere was what I really liked though — it was dark with blue lights and great music."
• "The ambience is nice with 80s, 90s music (pop) playing."
• "Beautiful ambiance, very well maintained."
• "The atmosphere inside is authentic and soothing."
• "The ambience was great, services was great & so was the sushi."

Cons:

• "Not a big fan of setup where tables so close and so darkly lit."
• "The place is pretty dark and tables maybe just a bit too close together."
• "Cheesy decor that’s not Japanese at all."
• "The music is also too loud with pop and R&B radio (including commercials!)"
• "Also I guess the place looks more appealing during the evening hours because in daylight you can see the cracked paint and chair also with 4 air conditioner units in a corner."
• "The place forces you to use hand sanitizer when you come in then sits you so ridiculously close to the next tables all in on side of the small restaurant, separated by these hanging plastic screens that don't do anything for covid."
• "They don’t offer tap water, only Voss. I’ve never been to a restaurant that didn’t offer free tap."

Value

Pros:

• "Great deal on the lunch specials."
• "The food was fantastic , you could really tell that they care about providing quality food at an affordable price."
• "Prices were reasonable considering everything is going up at the moment."
• "I am very happy to be able to visit this restaurant and for the relatively cheap price."
• "And if you need to watch your budget, this is still a perfect place for you because they offer very affordable lunch and dinner specials every day of the week!"
• "Everything we ate was delicious, and better yet, the price was, by far, more reasonable than most of the sushi restaurants I've come across."
• "Decent pricing combined with acceptable portions and quality food is something I can't complain about."

Cons:

• "Lunch curry was $15 and the portion is tiny."
• "Ordered carryout this evening. Sushi tasted fine but 5 rolls for $70, I was greatly disappointed when I pulled out the very small rolls."
• "You had to buy a bottle of water instead (they only had VOSS so not inexpensive)."
• "I just found the price point to be higher than most of the other sushi joints of similar standards in Philly."
• "However, paying $42 (tip included) for 12 pieces of sushi and a salad is excessive."
• "Almost as annoying is the mandatory $3-4 waters as they 'don’t have tap water.'"
• "Had an overpriced three roll combo (sushi)."
