This place is very cool and trendy looking on the inside. Definitely nice ambiance for a date night. One complaint on the layout is that you will most likely be seated DIRECTLY NEXT TO another table. Like inches away. It's a little awkward. There is another room in the back with more traditional (floor) seating that I'd like to try.
Our server was very friendly and had lots of recommendations (and patience) since it was our first time there. My date ordered the ginger ginger cocktail and I ordered the "pure dawn" sake. Both were good but the cocktail was pretty bitter - a good palate cleanser but definitely a sipping drink.
For an appetizer we ordered the grilled octopus balls based on recommendations from our server and other Yelp-ers. There were OK. I think it was mostly bread and they were very filling. If there was octopus in there I couldn't tell you.
For the second course we shared the chirashi (a mix of sashimi with a quail egg and salmon roe). The fish was very fresh and it was enough to share.
For the main course my date ordered the miso ramen and I got ramen with pork (can't find the name of this right now). Both were good; I think the miso ramen had a better broth. Also both were very filling! If you plan to order these as a main course I'd dial it back on the appetizers.
All in all it was a fun and relaxing experience. Plan on taking your time to try new things and eat slowly.
