My sons favorite downtown restaurant for some time now. Today I understood why when I visited for the first time. Friendly and attentive service. We had the basic sake which was delicious. The shiitake fried rice may be the best I've had...no carrots and peas here! My son loved his happy hour fried chicken and raves about his ramen with a full rib in it. A fun, hip, tasty downtown restaurant when your in the mood for Asian or Italian noodles! The only draw back, not really any gluten free choices. I hope they will consider adding rice noodles and a miso based soup so it would be gluten free friendly!
