“ This Japanese restaurant is a hidden gem! The food is absolutely delicious--fresh sushi, perfectly grilled yakitori, and rich, flavorful ramen. Every dish was beautifully presented and full of authentic flavors. The service was just as impressive--attentive, friendly, and efficient. The staff made sure we had a great dining experience from start to finish. Whether you're a sushi lover or craving warm comfort food, this place is a must-visit. Highly recommend! ”
“ The restaurant ambiance really takes you back to Japan! The service was amazing and our server (Jose) helped us understand how to order and what to order (either by server or through the provided iPads!). The presentation of all the foods and the vibes were very nice for our family of 4, and we made a reservation which made our seating on a Friday night very quick and easy. Fish quality was great, and we particularly enjoyed their set dinner meal that included many sides, sashimi, nigiri, and a drink (draft or soda). I want to come back to try their lunch set meals, and would definitely take my family back here again for a special occasion. ”
“ Good sushi, slightly rushed service. The sushi was well-prepared, and the ingredients were fresh. The staff seemed a bit rushed. Still, an enjoyable meal. ”
“ Very authentic Japanese restaurant with ambience of a non touristy restaurant in Tokyo. You can order on a tablet or with a server. Prices somewhat high but not outrageous. Doesn't have the Americanized sushi. Lots of cooked options. Black cod and miso eggplant phenomenal. Individual sushi wonderful too. ”
“ The food was very good, we ordered crab stone hot rice pot and unagi stone hot rice pot, both beyond expectation. Jose also recommended us the starters with yellowtail jalapeño and seared jumbo scallop with uni, we loved it! ”
“ Hands down the best sushi place in LA area. Taste was 100% there and the sashimi was really fresh. Atmosphere was inviting, clean and modern! Service was great. I will definitely come back soon! ”
“ Wonderful food and services. The food recommended by the server was excellent. Seabass stone hot rice pot was so good. Also love the Hakata Motsu Nabe. ”
“ This is a great spot for lunch! I have been here twice now for their lunch sets and were really impressed with the quality taste of the food for the price. You can tell each item is prepared with care. The tuna crispy rice and eggplant are my favorite dishes. It comes with miso soup too! I can never decide what to order and loved the variety of the small dishes that comes with the lunch set. Also, the service has been awesome here and better than I remember. ”
