“The food here is very good! They have so many different meat options to choose from, even if you do not eat pork or beef. The lamb and seafood are fresh. Stephen (Curry) was an awesome server and made sure we were always attended to and kept with new rounds of food on the table!“

“I ordered takeout through Uber Eats from this place, so can't comment about the service and atmosphere of this place. I got the spicy dragon roll, gyoza and salmon teriyaki entree. The gyoza was standard and it was a slight let down because it wasn't warm, but that's completely on the Uber driver as he had to make a few deliveries on the way. The spicy dragon roll was disappointing, it wasn't spicy at all and the sushi roll's rice didn't appear spot on. The salmon teriyaki was standard and decent. However the miso soup was plain bad, too watery and lacking flavor.“

“The spicy edamame garlic was a but of a disappointment, not spicy and very sticky. The spicy chicken karage was not your typical crunchy chicken, the texture was more like a chicken's general type of meal. Everything else was pretty good including the 49ers roll. We were able to sit instantly, no wait on a Friday night. The waitress really did rush us through the meal though.“

You have to eat everything that they have on the menu. When You will do it You will not regret that You choose them because they are simply the best.“

“The better Japanese street-food style udon in the area. I've had this in Japan, the noodle and beef tastes very authentic. Broth a bit different, but it's the closest you can get.Noodles are freshly made, the broth tastes refreshing, and the beef is the correct taste. Portion size is perfect and the value/price is great as well.All the sides taste very authentic and good, and value is great too.Much try if you like udon, and there is another great udon place right across it. And it's actually good food In a shopping mall? Say what?“

Tasted ok.Overall decent meal. Will want to try their treasure box in the future.Parking is easy to find in the plaza.“

“Came here around 6:30pm on a sunday night and waited for around 30 minutes for a party of 3. I ordered the Chirashi Don Deluxe, which was $13 pricier than the regular chirashi don for a tiny piece of uni and sweet shrimp, which was not really worth it imo. However, all the fish were super high quality. I also liked that there was a good mix of red and white fish, lean and fatty cuts, and the addition of tamago, scallop, and ikura. The sushi rice was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The portion was huge as well - I'd probably share this chirashi don with a friend if I were to get it again. I definitely would come back for the great fish quality.“

Everything was very good. It's back up to the quality that's kept me coming back for 30+ years.The way they bag stuff is clunky. Staples... like 5 to close a little bag lol.“

“Katsuyaki had been on my list to try for a little while and I finally decided to pick up some food for lunch as a pick me up in between work. They are tucked away in a plaza near the industrial area in Santa Clara. I saw that they had a few more options than I saw online/Yelp, which was nice. I ordered the bbq beef and chicken katsu bento and a side of California rolls togo (about $25 before tip). When I got my food, I felt like the portions were quite smaller than I expected, especially for the price. The food itself was pretty good and I was pleasantly surprised by how nice the California rolls tasted and complemented the meal. The service was nice and I got my food within 5 minutes. Overall besides the price, it was a good experience and I can see why people would stop by for lunch during the work week.“

“Super cute small place. Doesn't look like they can accommodate large groups bigger than 4 easily.I like their risotto and their salmon mushrooms pasta the best. Noodles are chewy and nice. Flavours are all very nice and balanced.The lunch combo I don't think is that great because the soup and salad aren't very good.I would skip the bruschetta. The only one that is fine is the iruka one; the rest seem like something you can assemble from Costco ingredients. They're small and expensive; at 4 dollars each a sampler platter is 16. Just get takoyaki.Servic was very good and servers are attentive.“

“Looking for a quick bite or something not too heavy? This hits the mark in all the right spots! The salmon was a little salty but it balances well with the rice. I also got the eel and I'd get it again. I got the 2 onigiri set that came with karaage, edamame, and tamago. Karaage was a little fishy taste so I'm guessing they don't have a separate fryer but chicken was juicey. Edamame was typical but well made. Tamago I prefer to eat warm/hot but its served cold though still flavorful.All in all, amazing small spot and will definitely be back. ?Parking: People are vicious during the weekends. Drive cautiously and be aware in parking lots. Especially the free areas.“

“?Yosenabe $19The store owner said that the soup is made from bonito, scallops, and kombu, and it tastes very light. Think about it from another aspect, so we can also savor the original flavor of the ingredients?!There are many kinds of ingredients, including seafood, chicken, tofu and vegetables.I feel like this pot has relatively high requirements for ingredients. I really don’t like this one. It doesn’t have enough freshness and no dipping sauce. Although it’s healthy, it’s really tasteless.?Chicken Kara Age $8.5This family may advocate healthy eating. Even Tang Yang’s fried chicken is basically oil-free!So its fried chicken is not crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside!“

“Great sushi at a fair price. Ordered the Kubo, Orange Blossom, Spicy Unagi, Tiger, and White Dragon. The Tiger was my favorite, a very well balanced roll with the perfect amount of spice. Photographed are the CA roll and Kubo, Tiger, and Orange Blossom rolls. Will definitely visit again to bring friends and family when I’m showing people around the area!“
