I see it as mostly a bar pub type place but wouldn't hesitate to return. The waitress was super nice and attentive. The food was also great! I got BBQ wings and a lemon cranberry drink. It was a little pricey for both but no other complaints! And they played great music inside as well!"

Food: - A Japanese fusion with Mexican is such an interesting combo and they did really well with it. From the apps, to the entrees they can do both cuisines exceptionally well. - the sushi was amazing, no complaints other than I couldn't finish it I was so full!!! - apps came out fresh and we appropriately demolished them. Service: - our waiter was very attentive to our group, was speedy, and friendly. He even offered to take some photos of us for our travels (even though we didn't even ask!). I want this waiter again! - our waiter even kept us in the happy hour loop and provided another round just before the cutoff time! Other: - music and layout is a little loud/wonky and tight. - due to location and the openness you may see some questionable individuals walk by or maybe annoy the staff. This happened to us, but didn't deter from the restaurant itself. - for California prices, it's middle of the road, but definitely worth it!"

I mean, don't get me wrong, Spanish music is okay... but most people get excited and stay longer when they see sports. Which will equate to more money for them because people would stay longer, eat more, and drink more :)"

It's a good atmosphere for a party or watching a game. We had some draft beers which did not taste at all watered down and also ordered the chicken nachos. I've been eating nachos for over 30 years and theirs is probably the best I have ever had. I highly recommend trying it. It is not a huge plate but just the trigger size for two people. We then proceeded to have the fish battered tacos in a soft tortilla. That was very nice but not out of this world but still good. The service was very helpful in making recommendations and suggestions. Their menu is large do it can be hard to read through and know what you want. Prices are fair for the quality of the food. It's a nice place and if looking for a pub with good atmosphere and good food to watch the game, then you can't go wrong here."

Place was pretty empty when I was there, but did take them a minute to bring the food out. We were so hungry didnt get a chance to take a picture of the burrito."
