There's a small space when you first walk in which can get congested with guests having just arrived and servers trying to pass with dishes, but you're greeted pretty much straight away, given menus and seated so it's not an issue for long.
The inside of the restaurant is pretty plain and simple and I can understand how this place can get a little too busy at peak times as seating extends around the counter but is a little limited.
As far as food goes, this might not be an issue for most but PLEASE BE AWARE, the gyoza does not mention what, if any, meat is inside on any of the 3 gyoza dishes on the menu so I went to order the beef gyoza rice bowl and it wasn't until I double checked that the server told me it was chicken & veg - I don't eat chicken so I was lucky not to order something I couldn't eat as this info wasn't offered or clear.
I asked if I could sub the gyoza for a different appetiser but was refused. No customisation allowed and these cannot be made to order.
As a result, we went for the beef rice bowl, the kalbi/chicken special dish and some spam musubis. The portion sizes were good and the food itself was delicious!! The sauces and dressings are so tasty and the meat given is so good, generous and not full of fat. All the flavours were prominent and not hidden by grease or cooking oils too.
Both of us were very impressed with what we ordered and loved the Asian/Hawaiian inspired food.
Will definitely return for some great food!
