Logistics & Planning

Dress code: Smart casual—button-downs or nice tops fit right in; jeans and sneakers are fine.
Noise level: Moderate; background chatter and light music but you can hold a conversation without raising your voice.
Weekend wait: 30–45 minutes during peak hours if you walk in; reservations recommended for groups.
Weekday lunch: Generally no wait, even for larger tables.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—plenty of vegetable rolls, tofu appetizers, and noodle options.
Vegan options: Limited—can build a meal from cucumber and avocado rolls plus edamame and seaweed salad.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes—comfortable and relaxed without being too quiet. The sushi bar setup works well for casual conversation.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Usually, yes—walk-ins are common. Bar seating is the fastest option if the dining room fills up.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for older kids who enjoy sushi or tempura; younger children may find the menu limited. High chairs available on request.
