Japanese food is my weakness since child hood cause I am Japanese anime fan and I used to wonder how this Japanese sushi will be or Ramen will be, since I was in India and we didn’t had any exposure for this cuisine at that time I used to crave a lot. But since I moved to Canada I have tried so many Japanese restaurants from all you can eat to ramen places and I have loved it and have developed my taste for this beautiful cuisine for last six years. I was visiting few friends in Osoyoos, British Columbia for few days and that time I have visited this restaurant. Recommended by my friends cause it was their favourite Japanese restaurant. And I personally loved this place, staff was nice, food was great and we had good time here. They have great variety of menu. Usually we don’t find sushi and ramen together in most of the specialty restaurants but yes this place have them both. This is causal restaurant with self service with limited area. Which I think is the only drawback but rest everything is so perfect. Kind of fast food place but excellent Japanese food and service. Must visit if your from this town or visiting this place. Thank you

We were a captive audience as there are not many places to eat in walking distance in this area. Relieved to find that the food was good and service was kind. They mostly do take out, so there is not much for atmosphere, but one of the staff came and gave us a couple of pocky sticks just because - nice touch. Still wondering what the "burrito" would taste like!

This is one of those places you don’t expect too much from… until you actually experience it. Right off the door, the staff here is welcoming and friendly, and ready to answer any questions regarding their menu. This place serves their signature house soy sauce, amongst other in-house made things, and that already gives it a huge advantage in comparison to other places. While to some this may not be crucial, I find options on their menu so well balanced that a store-bought soy sauce would just kill the flavours with its saltiness. I’ve tried a few of their sushi rolls, which I all liked. They use great quality, fresh veg & fresh fish. Sushi rice is made well and is not overcooked. The portions are generous and they don’t cheap out on the expensive ingredients. But… the main discovery here was their ramen. Foodies and anyone looking for a delicious, comforting, warm & nourishing gourmet experience… you MUST try it. This place takes most Vancouver ramen places off the ramen map. Keep it up, guys!

Wow! Was not expecting this level for a sushi place in Penticton. It is miles ahead of the sushi places here in the Lower Mainland. Even better, prices are very reasonable I am amazed!
