Phenomenal experience! Very clean! Roy was a very good server. The food is absolutely amazing! They have a homemade habenero hot sauce that is perfect! The pork belly is the best I've ever had. Treat yourself and check this place out!

This is my favorite spot in Knoxville for date-night sushi. Ordered omakase with my wife and the chef's selections did not disappoint! Our server was fantastic, and suggested a fun jello-like drink as a fun way to end the night. The manager also checked on us several times, and comped our dessert as a birthday treat. We will keep coming back! Oh, and the brussels sprouts continue to be the bomb.

This was an amazing find. Went to go to Southern Grit and it was closed on Mondays. But found this place instead. The Sushi was probably the best I have ever had and the Pork Belly Ramen was awesome!! The service was friendly and quick. You have to try this place!!

Absolutely amazing experience and some of the best udon I've ever eaten in my life. Walking in the atmosphere is perfect there's a bar and then on back there's a lounge like area with anime for any weeb. The service is prompt and very friendly. The roll called Godzilla in the Old City was to die form If you enjoy Japanese food in any facet this is a must go spot.
