“$5 Happy Hour menu, ordered 15 items total. Greta food. Definitely recommend the fried chicken, cucumber salad, and matcha brownie off the regular menu. Drinks were a huge hit as well.”
“We arrived early for our reservation and had a couple cocktails and apps in the bar area while we waited; bar staff was very helpful. Given we arrived early, We were initially disappointed to then be seated 20 minutes past our reservation and seated outside (despite an inside reservation), however the manager quickly remedied this and put us inside; terrific food, sake and service and will definitely return!”
“Absolutely delicious. This was my 2nd time here. The pork tonkatsu tastes (no spice for me) so incredibly wonderful that it’s hard to describe. The thicc fries were really good as well. Great atmosphere, great service, great experience all around.”
“CATERING! I recently hired Ima to cater a party I hosted and it was simply outstanding! I didn’t expect anything less of course given how wonderful the food always is when I eat at the restaurant, but the freshness of it being catered really wowed me. It tasted restaurant fresh, like they just cooked it and walked it out of the kitchen, except they had to pack it up, drive it to my event and then set it up and it tasted just as amazing. Ryan was wonderful to work with when ordering, he helped me build the perfect menu. The delivery was super prompt, and Ryan & Mike who were both so great did all of the set up with the food, chafers and all, which was a lifesaver. Their attention to detail with everything was spot on. We had miso sesame cucumbers, glazed pork bao buns, edamame, Karaage chicken rice bowl, chilled sesame noodles with shrimp, sesame butter yaki udon and pork belly. All equally amazing. Highly recommend them for catering!”
“Food was great, service wasn’t. We ordered beers and a gin shot and we started with three appetizers, the grilled steaks, the sushi and the crispy fried chicken, all were excellent. For the main course, we had spicy pork belly Ramen which was lovely. I asked about the beer I will order and the waitress kindly offered to give me a sample, unfortunately the glass that she brought the sample in had a lip stain on it because it was not washed properly, I also noticed only after taking a sip, which was really unhygienic. The waitress apologized and took the glass back, but we did not receive a proper apology about it or proper acknowledgment. Our server seemed busy and we felt a little neglected in general.”
