“Hard to find old school mom and pop Japanese food these days more so that serves proper katsu! Katsu curry brings me back growing up in Japan so nostalgic taste. I’m so glad I found this place.Parking: Small complex with limited parking spaces during normal business hours.“

“Wonderful kaiseki meal incorporating sakuras in the cuisine. Traditional Japanese cuisine reminiscent of what you would get at an authentic place in Kyoto. Loved the flow of the meal and the different textures of the cuisines. A5 Hokkaido Wagyu was excellent! Definitely recommend and will come back!“

“Excellent food and service! Variety of raw, steamed, grilled dishes and the waygu sukiyaki was excellent.The neighboring table was noisy. Foreigners who speak loudly in an otherwise quiet setting. Otherwise the atmosphere was great.Will come back again.“

“Great place For the best sushi in the Bay Area.“

“The service here is unparalleled- the owner, who's also the one taking the orders most of the time, is so incredibly friendly and a real joy to talk to. I've been here so many times and talking with her is consistently a highlight of my day. The food here is also delicious - there are a lot of options, including the chicken teriyaki and various sushi selections. Nothing I've had so far has been a miss. The indoor seating is a bit smaller so I generally get food to go, but the option is certainly available for those who are interested“

“Came for a sat lunch. A bit busy. Only one server but she was very nice and polite.Food is excellent. Great flavors. We got the pork katsu and beef tongue. Really good.Fish roe over rice and uni also very tasty. The uni flan is more a Japanese influence French cuisine. My wife liked it but it just ok for me. Chicken karake also very good, crispy and tender while not being hard with good flavors.Would visit again and maybe try dinner as they have an extended menu“
