TBR® Inspection Report:

This is one of the best dining experiences I have ever had. It’s the second time I have gone and both have gone above and beyond what I could have expected. With sushi restaurant I tend to get overwhelmed at the choices and end up getting things in my comfort zone. But both times I got the chef menu and each course is near perfect and you end the night not feeling overly full which allows you to enjoy every bite. Listen to the instructions from your server as to properly and most effectively enjoy the meal. You won’t be disappointed.

What a great dining experience! From our server Liz who was so knowledgeable and courteous to the bartenders John and Jose that kept us laughing and sharing stories. All in all the entire staff made our night one to remember. But we can’t forget the FOOD! Delicious.

Absolutely amazing! Kept hearing great things about this place and now I know why. Incredible service, impeccable flavors- BEST MISO SOUP IVE EVER HAD! Life-changing nigiri as well. Can't wait to be back.

This place is truly amazing! If you love Japanese food, you should definitely visit. They offer a wide range of menu options, including set meals where you can choose from various dishes. You'll find options like rice, ramen, sushi, and fried items like tempura and gyoza. The restaurant has a cozy atmosphere that feels like being in Japan, and there's a Japanese-style shop downstairs for extra enjoyment. If you prefer to avoid crowds, visiting during the vacation season when college students are away will ensure a very relaxing experience.

This place was pretty good. It was a little tight as far as spacing goes but other than that I enjoyed myself. There was a wait but we just went to the Wagaya store below to look around. The service was great. Our waiter took time to explain the sake menu and was able to give recommendations.

Easy quick sushi and ramen. Good prices and always yummy. The best part is the little store underneath! They have everything you can think of to make your own ramen and lots of Japanese candy.
