"Went tonight (6/16/2023) for dinner. My partner said his veggie roll dinner combo was decent. The waitress did inform us that the miso soup has fish paste in it after he ordered the veggie roll dinner combo, which we really appreciated! I had an assortment of rolls (Vegas roll, Philly roll, and salmon skin roll) and they were of standard taste. The agedashi tofu was really good, but it does come served with dried bonito flakes so you'll need to request them to be omitted if you're sharing the appetizer with a vegetarian. Overall, it felt like a friendly neighborhood sushi spot and made for a pleasant Friday night dinner (I also like that they play Korean ballads).Also, we witnessed a birthday here. They paused on the ballads and loudly played happy birthday on the speakers. The waitresses then marched to the table with a bunch of disco lights and a tambourine. It was really theatrical and cute! The employees are really sweet."

"I visited on a quiet Monday evening for some pre-game watching eating. Found my way to the longer bar (they have two actually — one about eight seats and the other three). Sam was one of the most pleasantly engaging barkeeps I have experienced in quite some time. He provided recommendations as well as a detailed explanation of the pizza oven and food philosophy of the restaurant and instances when owners greet customers.I ordered a hearts of palm salad, octopus with asparagus, and meatball/fries sides to eat there. I also took a superiore pizza and tiramisu dessert to go. The salad had great portions and proportions of ingredients (hearts of palm, artichokes, red peppers, and olives) which tasted crisp and fresh. My first time having octopus was well rewarded with good texture and meatiness feel to the octopus and again an appreciated portion size. Nice acidity from the accompanying lemon caper sauce too. Sam’s recommendation on the meatballs was well placed, as I enjoyed three meatballs that had good meat flavor with little binder, texture not too soft and not too firm, and fresh marinara. Fries were crisp and hot as well as not salty at all. I liked experiencing pizza the Italian way — lightly sauced with nearly perfect topping proportion, a little char on the bottom, and a great tasting crust. Ending with the homemade tiramisu (first time eating this dessert ever) was definitely the right call. Soft but such a light interior, well controlled sweetness from the marscapone cheese, and just the right amount of cocoa powder.Prices seem only slightly higher than what might be typical for the area. I definitely feel one can get satisfying value in any section of the menu. I have to try one of the pastas on my next visit and maybe a special or two and the housemade cannoli. I can totally see why this place has the popularity it does!"

"I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant and am eagerly looking forward to my next visit. The service was friendly and efficient, with our waiter taking excellent care of us. The food was absolutely delicious; I tried the chicken katsu sandwich, which was unique and incredibly tasty, while my friend enjoyed his tofu bowl. Noticing that it was our first time there, they surprised us with some homemade garlic chips, which were also fantastic. Additionally, all four of their homemade sauces were delightful. I also picked up a $10 frozen turkey TV dinner to go, which was a large portion and an excellent value, making it easy to reheat at home. I can't wait to go back and explore more of their diverse menu!"

"The Vietnamese food here is absolutely delicious! Our favorite dish was the caramelized fish. The pho noodles, fried tilapia, and quail were all perfect as well. The owner is friendly, and the new store manager, who previously worked at Taste in Hong Kong, is great with customers. The atmosphere is decent and clean, though it tends to be quite busy during lunch and dinner hours."

"What a lovely find. Small, family-owned Middle Eastern (Turkish) restaurant. The food was excellent and the owner/waiter was extremely polite and helpful. They have a wine list that includes some wonderful Turkish wines. There is no bar and they do not serve hard liquor, which was fine since I wanted wine anyway. The dining areas looked a bit like a pizza place, but when the food came out it didn't matter what the place looked like. You know a place has good ethnic food when most of the people in the restaurant are from that ethnic background. They have another location in Vienna, which I will also try. We were there on a Monday night, so it was not very busy. I hope that this place thrives... I loved it."
