  This place, hands down, has the best and most fresh sushi in the 5 college area, especially for the price. If you're someone who really only eats sushi for the deep fried parts and sauces there are plenty of options, but it is really good for those who just really like raw fish.
  They have a good variety of Japanese and Korean foods. I always get the Sundubu, spicy korean tofu soup, and the Spicy Sashimi Bowl (someone reviewed with 3 stars saying that they updated their menu and removed this; that's actually extremely false. I ordered that last week).
  
  The atmosphere is laid back. The waitstaff is friendly but not overbearing. A lot of the time, the restaurant seemed understaffed. I've read a review recounting an experience I remember where they complained they had to get up and go to the cash register to pay because the waitress was busy. The real story is that the restaurant was slammed and she was THE ONLY waitress. I would commend her if the only problem you had was either getting up to pay or something with the food.
  
  I took off a star because one of the male waiters almost made a point of ignoring us. A table sat down after we did but got their food before we even ordered. This is just the chance you take with all-student staff.
  
  Overall, I think a lot of people that scored low have never actually worked in food service and don't get how things work. I'm not trying to say this is a 5 star dining establishment, but a lot of these reviews are lacking context.
