Four stars for food (many dishes quite good, not quite as good as in Japan), two stars for sustainability (unpleasant disposable chopsticks, dessert in single-use plastic, no labeling of meat/seafood origins). Service friendly and helpful.

Casually found out this place just driving bye and resulted to be a real gem! Nice and cozy atmosphere, the place is small but so welcoming and warm. My partner and I fell in love with the unagi skewers and than the black sesami tantan men was just delicious and so full filling! Really helping and friendly staff, the full experience was so pleasant.

Best yakitori in the bay area for the price.

The pork belly! I don't like pork belly but this was amazing.
Getting a table can be hard, try to get a reservation or arrive early. It's a very small restaurant interior with a supplemental outside seating area, which is covered and heated.
The hostess seemed not happy that we didn't have a reservation but the server was great.

Expensive and not as good as I remember

Seated right away without reservation. Outside and inside options. Sat outside. It's covered. Heat lamps if necessary, which is great. Ordered a bunch of yakitori options. All were delicious. I'm definitely gonna try more!
Parking: I parking at the main garage and walking over. It's free after 6pm.

Love the atmosphere, a very authentic izakaya. The skewers are very good - love thigh, beef kalbi, and beef tongue. I also recommend steamed baby clam and rice ball. But the chicken karaage is so so.

The skewers aren't that expensive, and taste incredible. Their rice and noodles dishes are very filling and tasty. The only issue is that it can get extremely busy on the weekends.

Delicious! ? Very cosy space and friendly staff. Definitely a hidden gem. But parking is a little challenging.
We were having some doubts about the menu, so we decided to ask for guidance to place our order. Absolutely great food, great recommendations and so much kindness and respect in the service. Thank you again, will come back

I found the food to be good but not the best. I like their crispy fried chicken but the rest of their skewers weren't great. Very good atmosphere, service and polite staff.

Wonderful flavorful roasty yakitori in this great diner with a small foot print ? Crowded and tight while food is generous and plentiful. Ramen and fried rice are also very tasty. Love the black sesame oil ?. Always go back for more even it’s so packed . Everything is excellent ?

Love this place, but I wish their quail eggs wrapped in bacon weren't seasonal! They used to be a part of their everyday menu!
Their pork cheek is the next best thing after that!
Really good taste and variety for the price
