This is my favorite Japanese noodle bar/ sushi house in all of Ladera Ranch! The staff is extremely friendly and knows the menu inside and out, which is great when asking for recommendations on what to go with. I’ve never once had a bad meal here and it’s relatively affordable too which only sweetens the deal.

Nicely laid out venue with a pleasant atmosphere. Staff was friendly and attentive. We ordered bento boxes and were nicely surprised. Plentiful serving, nicely presented, and high quality food. I modified mine to have sashimi instead of the tempura and was pleasantly surprised that was not a problem. Very big servings we ended up with left overs of the salmon and short ribs. Salad was fresh and and a nice blend of flavors, dressing was bright and tasty. Sushi and sashimi was generous and very fresh. Excellent meal worth the price. Highly recommended.

I’m super picky about sushi and this place is one I’ll for sure be coming back to! It’s clean, really nice, and more importantly, delicious. I tried the Mother’s Baked Roll and the Baja California roll and I would order both again. The Mothers Baked Roll is full of flavor, and the Baja Ca roll is fresh! We also tried the Garlic edamame which was cooked perfectly. I’m not a fan of soggy edamame, so this restaurant cooked it to perfection. The garlic crunches made it even better! We also ordered a glass of wine and they’re not stingy with their pours, which made us very happy. We will be coming back :)

Sushi chefs here are the best and so nice! The rolls were amazing and priced between about 15 to 22. Had a very nice Merlot. Yellowtail roll I had with tuna inside and Jalapeno on top was my favorite. Also enjoyed the garlic edamame. Easy 5 star sushi restaurant and some of the best sushi in Orange County that I’ve tried but with a small restaurant friendly vibe.

Not only was the service AMAZING but the miso soup was so worth it. I got the bento box and I can confidently say that I will be going back. Everything was very good, well priced, and made in a timely manner. Instagram: Audrey.Pulliam (for more denver content or review requests)

Very good food, attentive and polite staff. Great atmosphere, but seems a bit unappreciated.
