Matt Debes:Fantastic grilled fish tacos, and the beer-battered fish taco is great also. Hoping to try the beef and chicken tacos next time. Definitely a "must try" when you get the craving!

Juan Gonzalez:The grilled fish taco is one the best I've had. Each of the ingredients is fresh and well matched to each dish. Definitely a great option in the area, if not NYC.

Andreas Cohen:Try the grilled fish. Excellent

Mika Takahashi:Not the cheapest but to me it's good value for the quality of food! You can't go wrong with anything. I love the hijiki on rice. Kaisen-don and grilled fish sets are delicious!

Ernesto Gutierrez:The tonkatsu and grilled fish are great. Order them as a "set" and you can skip any need for a appetizer. Their house made tofu is out of this world.
