    I had an amazing experience for my birthday dinner. such a cute atmosphere! The stuff was so pleasant and accommodating! They seated my friends and I at a lovely table with a beautiful view on the second floor. The food was amazing, forever a fan of the pork belly! The onigiri is a classic ands very fulllhg. Although some portions are on the smaller side it’s the perfect place to grab a bunch of food with friends! Would definitely come back for future events! Thank you for hosting a wonderful time!

    The service was quite under-qualified for the amount we paid for the meal. We had to keep asking our waitress for water, soy sauce, napkins and extra utensils.

    My first Uni bar experience and I was blown away. IT WAS SO GOOD AND SO FRESH. We got the hotate prosciutto carpaccio ($14), negitoro bomb ($12), uni chawanmushi from Japan ($15), uni matcha soba from Japan ($10), and lastly, the uni and seafood bara chirashi bowl ($37). My boyfriend and I came here on a dinner date and the portion filled us up perfectly. Might I also add, the service was amazing! I would 100% be coming back the next time in the Vancouver.

    The lunch ramen combo and ebi katsu were so delicious with the reasonable price. They made my friend's birthday lunch so special! We definitely will be back! Thank you :)
