Tanuki Japanese Restaurant Reviews
I made a reservation at Tanuki after walking by many times and loving the cozy atmosphere. The chef greets everyone as they enter and was so warm. My parents were visiting, and none of us had much experience with sushi.His wife was our waitress and very kindly guided us through the menu. We ordered what she suggested, and ate every morsel. Food was so fresh and delicious.My parents talked about that meal the rest the trip. Will definitely be back.
A new go to for fresh & simple nigiri. Good fish to rice ratio served in a homey atmosphere. We ordered the 10pc nigiri and +four a la carte. Amaebi nigiri also came with shrimp head tempura (not pictured). Total was $110.
