I don't know how many times I went there to eat. I love the place. Of course the counter is usable and for those of us in a hurry and alone, it's the way to go so we don't wait too long.

However if you can use their mobile app you can make a table reservation and avoid waiting at the entrance and coming back again and again and sometimes lose your turn. Table reservation? How fancy! Yes, I hear it's not a trendy restaurant for a business meeting or a romantic one. It's a place to eat well, at an unbeatable price (except among this specific industry: sushi fast food chain) and move on.

The food: I am biased. I love Japanese sushi, sashimi, and all the different types of fish they are offering... and anything we can eat in Japan. I ate at many different places all over Tokyo and beyond. This place offers an unbeatable price/quality rate.

I assume the staff is mainly constituted of students since they are very young and seem to come from different countries. They all look like my grand kids.

The Vietnam students are particularly cute and nice in their behavior.

Ok, ok, I won't recommend this place for a date since it give your dating target the bad idea: that you are broke! But it's a place we often go and I never had any bad surprises or issues. But again at this price you can't go wrong.

Atmosphere: noisy but ok. If you look at the kitchen you will see more of a factory than a restaurant. Beer: Ok. Dessert: I don't eat them much. Small but ok. Soup, noodles: ok. I'm not a noodle aficionado but I love woo dong. Their woo dong are ok. I prefer the woo dong chain. I remember the one in Sagamihara. I often went there. Delicious. Personnel: Correct, helpful.

So on and all, highly recommended.
