    I absolutely loved this little place! It was a bit of a challenge find since it is tucked away in an alley. The owner is very kind and welcoming. I ordered the nigiri bento box and miso soup. So delicious! What a hidden gem!

    We arrived for lunch at 1:00 PM—three of us—at this tiny restaurant. We were the only guests the entire time, even when we left. The dining area is very small, with just three inside tables (for about eight people) and one four-person table outside. The unique space appears to be a converted shipping container, with the kitchen occupying a third of the area. We genuinely enjoyed all the food. Because it was a long holiday, I was worried about the freshness of the sashimi, so I asked the chef, who was also serving and cashing out orders. He confidently confirmed it was fresh. To our delight, the mixed sashimi was incredibly fresh, and the cuts were wonderfully generous and mouthful. We ordered five or six more tasty dishes, including a delicious sliced beef steak served with miso soup (though the accompanying rice was a little too dry). The only drawback was the long wait time between dishes. Since one person was handling the entire operation, the delay is understandable. However, our lunch took two hours, and I suspect if another customer had placed an order, it would have taken even longer. The limited parking was more than adequate given the restaurant's small scale. The restaurant doesn't accept a credit card, either cash or e-transfer. I highly recommend this place and will definitely return.
