    Decided to eat here while shopping at Stanford Mall. We ordered the Hiyashi Chuka, Spicy Salmon Roll and Chicken Karaage. Everything was delicious. Service was quick and restaurant was clean. Server was attentive and overall good experience.

    We visited on a Friday for happy hour. We ordered their pork belly kakuni don, fried chicken karaage, crispy brussel sprouts, and takoyaki (not pictured). Each of the items were $8. Their portion sizes are on the smaller side in my opinion. It was definitely not enough to fill two adults up, may need to order something else with it if this is your dinner. :)

    Went here for lunch with friends while wandering the Stanford Shopping Center and was delighted with my meal. The interior is welcoming with inside and outside seating alongside a long counter facing the kitchen. Service was the deciding factor for us since there was no wait for counter seating. The highlight for me was the Duck and Mushroom Udon noodles. The udon noodles were perfectly cooked, offering a satisfying texture, and the combination of tender duck and earthy mushrooms in the broth was a delightful fusion of flavors. We opted for the vegetarian sushi rolls which were flavorful, yet to be honest they felt lacking from a carnivore such as myself. I will come back to try more of the menu on my next excursion to the Stanford Shopping center. To be continued...
