"Great Authentic Japanese food. I love tako wasabi and grilled mackerel here so much. First time order miso salmon it is tasty. The male waiter who works on Sunday is nicer than old ladies waitresses"

"This is a cute little cozy Japanese restaurant tucked away on Convoy Street. Food is delicious and authentic. We came here on a weekday and had a 10-15 minutes wait, but it was so worth it. We were seated fairly quickly and the staff was attentive. Staff was also busy taking sake shot offered by the customers- a recognized way to show gratitude to your server/bartender instead of tipping. It was my first time witnessing it and I loved it. Food was delicious. Highly recommend chirashi don and okonomiyaki! Will definitely come again!"

"Average and overpriced Japanese cuisine, Sea urchin not the freshest for I got 5 meager pieces for $48. Furthermore , the rice tasted sour. Better places out there for the price and services"

"We love coming here and always come right when they open at 5pm because this place gets crowded. We ordered: -Chicken karaage - juicy thigh meat -Sukiyaki udon- when I crave for udon, I come here. The broth is so beefy and lots of tender fatty thin meats. It’s so rich in flavors. -Takoyaki - I like that this is on the smaller side because it’s less wheat flour and more octopus. -Fried meatloaf curry entree - It comes with miso soup and salad. The miso soup is so good. We got spice level 8 for the curry which had a tiny kick. The parking lot is super tight and small that people park on the street. Another reason why we come early is to get a parking spot."

"Worst service ever!!! RUDE RACISM IGNORANT NOT TEAM ORIENTED The moment we walked in here the employees gave us a weird look but we did t take it personal. We assumed they were busy. What got us upset was when They took care of the people who came “after” us. (These people were Asian) “we were Latin” Secondly They took 30min or more to take our order. And took them almost 1 hour to bring our food . Next when we asked for our receipt they took another 30min to drop it at our table. Plus they kept speaking their own language. Then we were kind enough to leave tips. Once we’re walking outside THE FEMALE SERVER ran to say we didn’t leave enough money when WE PAID WITH $100 bill. This was very humiliating and rude. From their side. We told the lady “ I’m sure you have cameras please check we paid with $100 bill . Then the male server comes out to tell the lady who chased us outside the restaurant that We DID Pay $100 bill I feel that this was a racism issue and I don’t ever wish to be back here. Neither do I recommend anyone here."
