I was so stocked to find a real Japanese restaurant operated by Japanese staff in Nanaimo. They are tucked away in the alley behind La Stella which is also my favourite.They offer authentic Japanese food with excellent customer service. I had nabeyaki udon and it was perfect for the day you want to be cozy and very flavourful. They close bit earlier than other restaurants so check their business hour first before you go. They also have some bar seats if you dine in solo!

Food was mediocre. Small portion size. I was definitely expecting more for the price.

The ramen is so good, but 2 the slices of chasu pork are SO thin, they literally couldn't make it any thinner if they tried without it falling apart.

A little hidden gem in the Old City Quarter of Nanaimo. The food we had was fresh and really tasty. The waiters were all very professional and it was surprising how quickly we got our food. Definitely going back when we're looking for Sushi in

I had the vegan tantan ramen, it was the best ramen I have ever had. My friend said the chirashi don was exceptionally good too. Wonderful place, highly recommended.

Incredible food, excellent service. Felt very authentic and high quality with an excellent array of options. AtmosphereWas very simple but that felt 100% okay.

Amaaazing sushi, the rainbow roll tuna and salmon just melted in my mouth and the crunchy dynamite roll had super thick shrimp and the tails weren't burnt or overdone like a lot of places do. I tried the green tea cheesecake and it was also amazing! One of my new favourites for sure. Super friendly staff as well. I'll be coming back!Parking: Angle parking spots along the road, but full around dinner time

The food was okay, but the fish wasn’t fresh at all. The service is what you normally expect. To be honest the dessert was better than the actual dinner. I think it’s also the only Japanese restaurant in the surrounding area. I also expected it to be better seeing that the place online says “authentic” Japanese restaurant.
