What makes it special: High-visual sashimi bowls and sandos with speedy kiosk service.
Who should go: Solo sashimi fans on the go
When to visit: Midafternoon to avoid peak lunch/dinner queues
What to order: Toro sashimi, uni-toro don, salmon sando
Insider tip: Check the board for same-day premium cuts before ordering.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Mostly metered street parking along Noriega and side streets; easier midafternoon, tight after 6pm.
Dress code: Casual β€” locals drop by in hoodies and sneakers; no dress code enforced.
Noise level: Quiet to moderate β€” counter-focused space with soft ambient music, good for solo dining or light conversation.
Weekend wait: 20–30 minutes during peak dinner hours, shorter for takeout orders.
Weekday lunch: Usually no wait before 12:15pm; steady flow after that.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Limited β€” occasional veggie donburi or cucumber rolls.
Vegan options: Minimal β€” sauces and rice seasoning often contain fish elements.
Gluten-free options: Partial β€” sashimi and rice bowls can be made gluten-free if soy sauce is omitted; no dedicated prep area.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for formal dates since seating is casual and self-service, but great for a low-pressure sushi meet-up.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes β€” no reservations taken; order at the kiosk and grab a counter or small table when available.
Is it kid-friendly? Best for older kids comfortable with raw fish; no high chairs or kids’ menu, but casual setup welcomes families.
Best For
Better for: High-quality sashimi bowls and donburi at faster speed and lower cost than most dine-in sushi bars.
Skip if: You’re seeking a sit-down omakase or full-service dining experience β€” it’s more quick-service than date-night.
