| - I attend the dojo a couple doors down for this place, and we've been waiting in anticipation since the sign went up! The food here is really good! They're focus is somewhat healthier versions of US sushi. Def not the most traditional food, but quite tasty. The owners/staff were really friendly and took their time explaining their food and concept and went out of their way to be welcoming overall.
As I'm not a huge raw-fish fan, I went with the spicy pork bento, an order of gyoza, and an order of edamame (I was in a large group and intended to share some gyoza and edamame). Everything was quite tasty! I really enjoyed the pork, though it could have been spicier, and the rice was really good too! It's a mix of white and brown and topped with furikake. The meal also came with a few pickles, a small seaweed salad, and a gorokke (croquette). Their croquette is again, intended to be lighter, and is mixed with kabocha for a sweeter taste, rather than having a sauce. The gyoza also came without a sauce, but I found on both parts I wasn't quite missing anything.
The only kinda of negatives to watch out for, are that this place does all of its plating in to-go boxes. While this is super easy for a quick lunch or post-work out dinner, it may not be the most special date-night, if you're looking for something fancy. Also, the edamame are only lightly salted, not coated in the rock salt in used to. It's still really tasty, just not what I was expecting. Also, they don't have a liquor license, so no after-class beer and edamame at this time, which is probably better for my waist line anyway.
Overall a great little place. It's definitely going to be my new Friday night after-class hangout!
