Izakaya Restaurants near Cupertino, CA

“This has been our favorite udon spot for a while now. The only other spot we would consider competition is Udon Mugizo but we love this place a lot more. First, the noodles have better texture and their oxtail broth is perfectly seasoned. For appetizers, we really like their chicken karaage and their mackerel.

Their service is also really great. We have a 4 month old and he was clearly trying to sleep. Our server was kind enough to put lullaby music on for him and overall was just a really nice guy. I wish we got his name but it was one of our most memorable meals ever!“

“Food is always fresh and delicious. There’s always a variety of specials every week besides their main menu items. It’s easy to place an order and pickup. Try it; it will become your main takeout restaurant like it has become ours!“

“From the warm greeting everyone receives when walking through the door to the attentive and super friendly service, this place is amazing! The sushi was outstanding… hands down the best sushi I’ve ever had! The texture, taste and presentation was top notch. Wish there was a location on the east coast!“

“Good food will come back…“

“My girlfriend and I have always looked at this place and took a chance and stopped by. It was really good. I had the wrap. Bathrooms are clean. They even have toothbrushes in the bathrooms so you can brush your teeth after your meal. They even have DJ lights. Super friendly personnel. Next time I got to try the beers.“

“Absolutely amazing! The presentation is lovely. The sashimi is so fresh. The soup had so much umami. Even the salad had a light refreshing sesame dressing. They have a sushi train going around the bar area in the center! The jewel is the service. The chef, the server, and the owner John all came to check on us and chat with us! If you are in Los Altos please go to this Japanese restaurant!“

“A little late posting this since my visit was a while ago, but I still remember how much I enjoyed this place

I honestly wasn’t expecting the menu to be that big. It really felt like a proper Japanese izakaya where you can order a little bit of everything, share dishes and enjoy a few drinks without feeling rushed

We tried several things, including the grilled squid and a baked seafood dish, and both were really good. The squid was tender and flavorful, and the baked dish was rich, cheesy and perfect for sharing. There were so many other things on the menu that I wanted to try, it was honestly hard to choose lol

We also had a few drinks, which made the whole experience even better. The food, drinks and casual atmosphere all worked really well together

It didn’t feel overly trendy or too polished, just comfortable and very local. Definitely the kind of place I’d come back to with friends, order a bunch of dishes and stay for a while

Really good food, lots of variety and a fun izakaya vibe“

“Been here many times already. It’s a go-to spot for date night or bringing friends or out of town guests. Good assortment of food options on the menu. My favorites are the grilled mochi and the poached egg with uni. Really crave-able food. They renovated recently and the decor really makes the atmosphere. They have really good happy hour(s) Saturday, Sunday, and Monday that’s worth checking out.“

“Its my first time in this place. And i really love it with your food at its best! Perfect! ❤️👍“
