"I'm not picky or particular but I do have things that I like and are important to me in an establishment. This place came through with flying colors. The food was amazing, came out hot and quite quickly for how busy they were. They also went out of their way to make sure I got the cocktail that I wanted even though it took an extra bit of work. Really true professionals behind the bar and serving. I was also lucky enough to go to the bar while karaoke was going on and I was just blown away. Their karaoke guy Joe was fun and engaging, my entire group had a great time. The place was smaller than I expected but everyone there is an absolute Rockstar."

"You have to go here. The food is unique, the flavors are full, and mouth-watering the presentation is well thought out. The atmosphere is very appealing, and the service was outstanding. Thanks, Tory! You rocked it tonight. Highly recommend the hand rolls, wings, and burger."

"This new cocktail bar with a Japanese theme drinks and food as well as decor was very good. We enjoyed the Ube Pina Cola: rums, brandy, purple sweet potato, coconut, lime, pineapple, nutmeg, Beast-side: blanco tequila, lime, cucumber, mint, shiso, alpine, The Sojourner: whisky, strawberry, pineapple, black pepper, citrus, herbal liqueur, The Melon Ballz: gins, honeydew, yuzu, sake, cinnamon, tonic, Sama Wings: soy-tamarind glaze, butter, cilantro, and The Chicken Karaage: tosazu vinegar, spicy mayo, lemon."

"Great tasting cocktails and nice setting. Handrolls were decent, but burger was not worth the money at all. I'd come back for the drinks, but would skip the food."

"Awesome new spot in Ventura with a great concept. Hand rolls were good and presentation is delightful. Recommend the Melon Ball Z and house old fashioned. Planning on coming back for Sunday ramen!"
