“A little late posting this since my visit was a while ago, but I still remember how much I enjoyed this place

I honestly wasn’t expecting the menu to be that big. It really felt like a proper Japanese izakaya where you can order a little bit of everything, share dishes and enjoy a few drinks without feeling rushed

We tried several things, including the grilled squid and a baked seafood dish, and both were really good. The squid was tender and flavorful, and the baked dish was rich, cheesy and perfect for sharing. There were so many other things on the menu that I wanted to try, it was honestly hard to choose lol

We also had a few drinks, which made the whole experience even better. The food, drinks and casual atmosphere all worked really well together

It didn’t feel overly trendy or too polished, just comfortable and very local. Definitely the kind of place I’d come back to with friends, order a bunch of dishes and stay for a while

Really good food, lots of variety and a fun izakaya vibe“

“Fugetsu is a world wide chain of okonomiyaki. In fact, Rokko/Fugetsu has the first location of Fugetsu in the whole US.

Always a good vibe here and possibly the only place to get okonomiyaki in the Bay Area like they do it in Japan. Huge menu and drink selection with the shared Rokko and Fugetsu menu. I like the okonomiyaki sampler a ton as well. Portions are huge for this dish and everything else on the menu.“

“Been here many times already. It’s a go-to spot for date night or bringing friends or out of town guests. Good assortment of food options on the menu. My favorites are the grilled mochi and the poached egg with uni. Really crave-able food. They renovated recently and the decor really makes the atmosphere. They have really good happy hour(s) Saturday, Sunday, and Monday that’s worth checking out.“

“Menu looks a bit worn out but the food is great. Oddly, maybe one of the best California rolls I've had. It's surprising because it's a basic roll but they do something to make it fresh.

We got here and it was empty but filled up fast with a lot of take out. Felt like a good value.“

“I recently visited a ramen restaurant, and here are my impressions.

First of all, the atmosphere was very cozy and casual, creating the perfect setting for enjoying the food. The menu offered a variety of ramen options, and I chose the classic chicken ramen.

When my dish arrived, I was impressed by its size. The noodles were average in taste, but that's an acquired taste. The only downsides were the water glasses and the toilet, which weren't very clean. I wouldn't come back.“

“Loved the server we had, food was pretty good, i recommend the green dragon roll

We got the crazy atomic and liked the baked assorted fish in the middle but not the sushi roll it came with (we aren’t a fan of crabmeat)

I didn’t like the orange blossom roll, the salmon tasted different“
