  Food is always great, they have your order out speedy (less than 10 min for a family-size take out order) and is always a great choice for meetings where I last minute need to decide on what to feed people

  One of my favorite restaurants in all of Oakland. As a gluten intolerant person it's also great (and not typical) to have soooo many options. Love the vibe inside as well, though sometimes when it's crowded it can take a minute to grab a table. But yeah, great place, great food, very cool staff, I highly recommend it!

  Found this small Japanese restaurant while looking for some places to eat before seeing a show at the Fox Theatre. The sauces here are quite extensive and I definitely would like to come back and try other ones. I had the teriyaki sauce on my fried chicken and my partner did the BBQ and Umami salt which was certainly plentiful and a great meal with salad and rice included. It was well worth the price and I would certainly get it again. Overall I will definitely come back again to try more sauces and dry rubs!

  Enjoyed my dinner here. Stopped by before a concert in downtown Oakland. It’s a busy spot with not enough seating inside for the crowds. I enjoyed the chicken I got, cooked well. Was nice and juicy. I ordered their bbq sauce and it was very tangy, hard to describe. I’d definitely try out other flavors before getting bbq again. The bland salad and cabbage didn’t seem needed either.

  There was a very long line when we went there and the place was crowded/loud. Ordering online and picking it up is much easier. Since the weather was nice, we ate by the lake instead of eating indoors. Everything was delicious. I just wish there was a little more sauce on the chicken.
