“Tonkotsu - this is a pretty good bowl of ramen overall. The broth was missing some extra "oomphf" of milkiness that I was hoping for. The standard serving does not include menma which I feel like is essential to a traditional tonkotsu... the chasu had more of a smokiness, grilled flavor as opposed to the sweet caramelization from the sake/ mirin marinating one may typically expect. All said, this is solid for the Bay Area in my experience but maybe not a recreation of tonkotsu ramen you would get in Japan. There was a richness to the broth and noodles were perfectly cooked!Karaage - plump, super juicy, big pieces of perfectly brined chicken. The batter has less crunch and more crisp, something captured perfectly here. Served with a bit of cabbage, a really sweet kewpie mayo, and a shishito. I loved this and gets perfectly dunked in a bowl of ramen lol.Takoyaki - Less tako, more yaki. I would say the filled contents are probably 5% tako if that. I ate these and did not get a chew of octopus at least twice... though, cooked and topped perfectly with a great flavor.Service was friendly and prompt, and left us to enjoy all aspects of the meal. These dishes and some tea were about $75 for two with tip.“
“Second time coming here and had different food items. All were amazing. The spices used and the quality of the food is really great. I so enjoy this restaurant. B, our server was wonderful. she was gracious, knowledgeable, and gave us good suggestions on what to order. It was a great night.“
“Ate here today and tried a variety of menu items including the bone marrow, which was delicious. Service was good, food had a good variety and filled the tapas role expertly. It all adds up and can be a b it pricey, but I feel like the prices are very reasonable and you should know/expect that. We ate outdoors, which was nice. There's some shade depending on the table and the time of day. Cool, intimate ambience inside.“
“This place is a hidden gem in Dublin/pleasanton area. The food is always good and they have a lot of options, including yakitori! I've tried their meat combo grill, sashimi, yakitori, summer roll, and chicken karaage. Nothing here disappoints! On top of that the service is great, we can an hour before close and the waitress was still so accommodating. Highly recommend!“
