- Love this place! Traditional Japanese boxes (meatballs are amazing) and really good iced coffee. Feels like Tokyo🍱
- Tomik DashNovember 18, 2014The rooftop is really cool here. Esp in the mornings when no one is up there. Great place to get work done when weather permits.
- Hoji lattes are thumbs up. The onigiri is a bit rice heavy but comes warm so it’s tasty. Love the salmon bento and they have vegan options!
- David BlackmanJanuary 6, 2019Japanese cafe - service can be weirdly slow but the food is uniquely heartly/healthy/light, the ambiance is great (beautiful rooftop in the summer) and it has a great vibe
- Alyssa B.August 7, 2022The ebi katsu burger is so good! comes with grilled veggies and salad…a perfect summer meal
- DaniellaOctober 21, 2017Everything about the salmon bento box is perfection. Hoji latte with almond milk is also the best green tea latte I’ve had.
- There’s a second floor that’s kind of hidden so make sure to check it out! A very low key coffee spot that’s never loud or annoying
- Sharon G.September 30, 2017The bento boxes were cute. Food within was yummy.Service was nonexistent as far as having to go up and down the stairs because no one bothered to give or tell me where to get chopsticks.
- Tina ZAugust 6, 2018The Japanese slow drip cold brew is the best cold brew you will ever taste. Tasty (warm, fresh) onigiri, too.
- Ishmael VasquezJanuary 6, 2016Great coffee, great bentos, and great vinyl music in the background. Coffee is microroasted and is really good. Get a pound if you can.
- I don’t know if I like their meatballs or their salmon more. But I’ve never had a bad meal here.
- Clare ReidyFebruary 16, 2019Best drip coffee for miles. Love the onigiri especially the one with the flaked salmon!
- Tiffany HuiDecember 29, 2017The Hoji Latte was perfect- beautifully made and tasted incredible (rich, sweet, toasty flavor).
- Jeremy FisherMarch 10, 2016Excellent coffee (try the Kyoto-style slow-drip iced coffee) and great rooftop
- Borja BurgosJuly 22, 2016"Western" Japanese hip spot with great food (bento boxes), great coffee (kyoto), fair prices, and an uncovered hot rooftop...
- Alex TsuDecember 3, 2017Hoji latte will blow you away. Amazing rooftop. Beautifully minimal aesthetics. I’ll be back!
- Adam YaegerJune 12, 2016This place is amazing! They have great coffee, friendly service, bento boxes and a great rooftop. It's really all you could ever ask for
- Ryan SchmuklerMay 4, 2014Super rich and earthy coffee both in the drip and iced variety. Friendly service. They have a rooftop patio that's pretty cool.
- Nicola SebastianMarch 22, 2016Meatballs, curry, and the teas. Karaage is good too but ask for a side of japanese mayo!
- Clare ReidyMarch 21, 2019Big fan of the food after hours but I wish the sushi was slightly cheaper and most importantly that they would invest in proper table ware instead of using single use plastics
- Coolest little find on Montrose. Secret rooftop, quiet, cool, where you can get your reading done. Love it.
- Sue LeeMarch 20, 2015Everything is delicious, but my go tos are: the milky toast, the stuffed mushrooms, and the pork shabu shabu.
- Mara LecocqAugust 9, 2015Great quaint neighborhood place with cute rooftop, friendly staff. Pork Betty bento is great.
- HeidizzleApril 14, 2014Super cute and friendly staff, nice surroundings and a little bench outside to enjoy your coffee in the sun.
- C JaoNovember 4, 2013Tried the Shabu Pork Bento the other day. Quality stuff, definitely down to try all the other stuff soon.
- Lane RettigSeptember 15, 2015The salmon in the grilled salmon bento was maybe the best salmon I've ever had. Unfortunately the rest of the bento was so so!
- KateJanuary 26, 2019The hot yuzu tea is wonderful - not too sweet and not bitter from the yuzu. Just right!
- Salmon bento box looked bland, but I was very pleasantly surprised by how flavorful it was. Thumbs up! Kitchen closes at 3.
- Peter ElbaorFebruary 23, 2020Great value. Surprisingly good food and at a good price. Solid espresso drinks too
- Sakura YagiSeptember 20, 2014Cute bento boxes. Great green tea latte. Both can be enjoyed on the adorable rooftop.
- Raquelle JessieOctober 20, 2017bento boxes that don't leave you feeling gross- get the Salmon one. Go on the rooftop.
- Hoji latte is good although it's almost impossible to find a seat
- sunnychangOctober 26, 2013A quant and well designed café that serves tasty Japanese dishes. Über cool and friendly staff.
- Everything is good here, esp their green tea muffin and salmon bento box
- Connie TsangApril 22, 2018not sure why I was expecting something mind-blowing about the bento box - it was just okay! I think it’s a better place to hang out with groups on the rooftop. Nice staff, though!
- Bohdan HnatkovskyyMarch 13, 2019A nice place famous for meatballs. The spot is pretty basic, but roof deck is worth checking out.
- Berk KapiciogluJanuary 30, 2016A hipster friendly Japanese cafe and restaurant. Food is delicious and cheap. People bring books or laptops to study. There isn't a lot of spots to sit. Service is quick. Try the salmon bento. Trendy.
- Great iced latte. There's an ATM inside because card min is $15.
