You can expect no service. No water refill for the whole night. The server is like you own him 1M dollars.Food is okay though.

Good Japanese tapas izkaya with creative dishes that are very well done. Always a long waiting line, and no reservations allowed. Go there early and wait.

I usually don’t leave bad reviews but my boyfriend and I both got diarrhea after dining here. We ordered 6 kinds assorted sashimi and hamachi Kama. The fish doesn’t seem fresh to me. Wouldn’t recommend dining here.

The beef tongue and chazuke rice are huge and delicious. My favorite is the mentaiko noodles. The sweet shrimp sashimi was not very fresh today. Overall, the price/performance ratio is very good~

Long line for weekend dinner. Waited for 1.5 hours when arriving at 5:30. There are not many seats.The size is good. The quality is above average but not remarkable. I would go again if there's no line. I recommend the Gyu Don.

Ordered several dishes. Everything was below average, even considering the price. The taste is mediocre, which is acceptable, but the ingredients are on the lower quality that you can taste, especially the beef tongue, beef stew, and grilled gintara (cod).

You can easily book a table online or just give the restaurant a call. Our group of four made a seamless entrance on time thanks to the reservation. They've got a diverse menu with nearly everything covered. The'Unagi Omelette 鰻魚玉子燒,' 'Yamaimo Sengiri 山藥紫蘇', and the 'Mentaiko Pasta 明太子麵' are my favorite. The beef tongue and clam soup were also delicious. If you're into Japanese food with a local casual dining feel, this place comes highly recommended! Plus, they have private booths for a more intimate family or friend gathering.

Parking: Tight parking situation; come early when this place opens at 6PM to get a good parking spot.Customer Service: The staff are friendly and helpful! Our waitress Sakura had good recommendations and took great care of our table.Best Part: The Umaki Tamago and the I forget the name of it, but it had potatoes and cheese and was also delicious. Sakura also recommended Calpico, a citrus-flavored drink, and it was amazing!Worst Part: Sadly, they did not have Ramune but Calpico was still a great substitution!Tips/Recommendations: If you are looking for Japanese foods, waaaaaaaay more authentic, you should check out TANTO Japanese Restaurant.Return: I will return and try more of their dishes. Thank you so much for your recommendations and kindness, Sakura! You will see us again soon.
