Came here on a Wednesday night with a friend. We had a reservation, but seems like there were a couple empty tables outside to accommodate walk-ins. Service was great, and everything we ordered was delicious. I particularly liked the tempura and the pasta dish. Recommend and will come back again.

This restaurant is recommended by Michelin in 225. The food is good and creative. The tempura crispy chips tartare is very unique. Business is booming. Reservation is highly recommended.

I had dinner here for the first time and it was great! I ordered a few items, but I cannot add some pictures to the app for some reason. My favorite dishes were the Kakiage Tempura with Black Tiger Shrimp and Gindara. The other dishes I ordered were the Branzino and Wagyu Curry Rice and those feel flat for me. They definitely have a big menu and service was great. The atmosphere was quiet, calming, and inviting. I would HIGHLY recommend the dishes listed, especially the Gindara!

Great experience. Food delicious and fresh with impeccable service. A bit pricey, as we spent $110/person. I only gave atmosphere a 4 because noise level was a little high and tables a bit close together.

Tiger shrimp tempura: both the taste and the portion are great Unagi don: also great; better than pieces of unagi in the sashimi menu Bara niku: highly recommend! Sushi rolls: I like how the menu specifies what is inside and on top. Ramen and miso soup: too salty, would not recommend Seafood pancake: a little too heavy and dominated by ginger, would not recommend.
Came twice in a week. Can usually only sit outside (chilly) with no reservation.

Wagyu curry was excellent (has a little kick to it) and okonomiyaki was solid.

It’s one of the few—if not the only—places that does luxury Japanese cuisine on the south side of Berkeley. They serve delicious, creative dishes as well as more traditional Japanese options like ramen. However, I think the prices are too high, even considering the quality of the food.

What a gem of a Japanese restaurant on fourth Street in Berkeley. We had an outstanding meal and I was surprised at the creativity, quality and excellence of all the dishes we ordered. Kakiage Tempura a real highlight. Great and friendly service and perfectly sized dining room.
Service was good. The roll was good but not spectacular enough to be 26 dollars. For $26 you expect fresh wasabi.
The $36 French fry shrimp pizza thing, which is the most ordered item on the menu, was meh.

This place was phenomenal. Unfortunately I was traveling and by myself, so I didn’t get to sample as much as I would’ve liked! My bartender was great, and I enjoyed a few Fortaleza cocktails. The tuna appetizer was excellent, Yakisoba noodles were phenomenal.
