Not worthy…they charge 4 dollars for a time oyster which should be 1-2 dollars according to the market. I don’t mind if a restaurant is expensive as long as the food is good, but everything here is so small and taste average. Honestly i felt scammed, do not recommend this overpriced place.

This restaurant is overpriced too much, we ordered 4 oysters, scallop rice, and chicken sampler. The oyster is $4 each but they are so tiny not worthy at all. We spent 90 dollars with tip, do not recommend

Service was awesome and the food was tasty. Very unique take on some of the flavors of the dishes. Edamame is usually presented just steamed but this had an almost dry fried taste - very enjoyable! The most popular item on their menu is the Signature Scallop Risotto. The chili butter surprised me because it had a little of a kick. The flavor was good but the risotto itself seemed a little tight. Overall a great experience and the prices were pretty good.

Cozy and warm restaurant (a bit smoky although). However flavor is a bit average. Skewers were over cooked, ceviche was sweet, ramen was just ok, and hamachi was good. Drinks are good but overall a nice place to stop by if you are just looking for quite bites of Asian comfort food.

Very creative Japanese cuisine. The presentation was equally as pleasing as the taste. I loved the scallop not so spicy risotto and they made a chirashi the best I’ve had. Eggplant was Also super tasty. All at a reasonable SF price !!

the service was really good, the waitress was sweet and tried to make up for the food. the food, however, is completely different from the old location. The flavor was bad…all their yakitori is just with salt, no soy glazed, the chicken heart was kinda stink and hard, the scallops was fishy, i ordered risotto and couldnt finish it (in the past,I finished the whole risotto myself ) I believe they have changed their ownership (similar to Bubu?) because the quality is not as good as before. I wont be back, and honestly really sad, this was my favorite yakitori spot in japantown…

The food here is pretty mediocre, nothing that I would have felt specifically compelled to write a review about. However, they overcharged my credit card, and when I called to ask about it, they said that it is something that has been happening at the restaurant. They reassured me that they would get in touch again and credit me back and haven't, despite more than 2 weeks passing and my contacting them again.
I say save yourself the credit card hassle. The food isn't even worth it.

Great food! Maybe dial back the gimmicky food stuff like truffle oil...oh, except keep the tacos and street corn.... Those are great gimmicks. Nice sake list.
Fantastic service and menu. Excellent execution of everything i ordered.

Terrible experience. The uni was definitely not fresh — it had a strange smell and texture that completely ruined the dish. The hamachi kama was dry and overcooked, almost like it had been sitting out for a while. For the price, the quality was shockingly low. Service was average at best. I expected much better from a Japanese restaurant. Won’t be returning.

First time there. Can't wait to go back! Best hamachi I've ever had and every other dish was amazing. Layered egg dish and Kimchi Udon Carbonara are must-haves.
