“Absolute perfection. The food, the service and the atmosphere are outstanding. The most buttery, delicious salmon I’ve ever had…couldn’t stop eating the salmon hand rolls. Every single thing had incredible flavor and melted in your mouth, staring with the garlic edamame. Try it out, you won’t be disappointed.“

“I like this katsu place. We also tried the spicy miso ramen. It was good, but quite spicy, so if you can’t handle spicy food, I think it’s better to choose something else. Expect to wait for a while during dinner time. If you order katsu to-go, they will give you the whole set in a bento box.“

“The food here was amazing!!! Super affordable price!! I’ve tried most of the food here. Plus, the food itself will take you back as if ur eating in Myanmar. The service was fast and very friendly. Highly recommend to anyone!! Definitely gonna come back again !!!“

“Azabu in Whittier was 🔥! Food was fresh and delicious, service was amazing—shoutout to Yuli for taking such great care of us. The ube cheesecake was absolute gas. Only heartbreak? No chocolate cake… guess I’ll have to come back for it. 😉“

“A true hidden gem that I hope won't be hidden for long. Some of the best poke and handrolls I've had in LA. All very fresh fish, flavorful seasonings, and big portions, especially the huge handrolls. Better than Kazunori. I recommend the blue crab and spicy tuna.“

“Its open and they really made sure its safe , service and food perfect . Happy days“

“Good food, portions & service...“

“my experience here is always great, it’s my go to spot for sushi and even though i usually order for delivery, the dine in experience today was amazing with great customer service and equally as amazing food; can’t wait to order from here again!“

“4.5 ⭐️s for overall experience! My friend, her kids, and I enjoyed our meal in mostly every way - flavors, service, and cleanliness. The house salad was healthy (not just iceberg lettuce) and had a generous portion for one person. My friend said it was super delicious - Sunset roll, blue crab roll, and miso black cod were on point flavor wise. Only negatives were that the seaweed was a bit chewy (not super tough though) and the soup slightly salty. The staff was kind, friendly, attentive, and patient - hard to come by these days. Prices are reasonable and I plan to come back. Parking is tougher at times in this plaza, but at some point, you'll find a spot.“

“Great rolls. Big selection.... fresh.“

“Best sushi on the West Side ❤️“

“Just stopped by here for lunch for my kiddos and I and I’m so glad we did it was delicious! I got a teriyaki bowl with veggies. I’ve been to different teriyaki places and this has to be my top favorite now! Very fresh and flavorful the place is very clean Inside, and the employees were very sweet. Definitely give this place a try if you’re craving a teriyaki bowl.“

“Fantastic. Great service and even better sushi.“

“Solid ramen spot, got the classic ramen recommended by chef as well as their limited time curry ramen. Both options were filling and delicious. I personally prefer the pork belly over charsiu but was surprised they didn’t cut it in half to make it easier to eat this time. Still delicious and would come back when craving a bowl.“

“Cute homey Japanese vibes. It’s a small restaurant so I can see there’d be a wait on busy days. Luckily we only had to wait about 5 min. The menu is straightforward. Comfort Japanese dishes. Service was great, they’re super nice and very attentive!

The tempura was good, sauce was great too. Katsu was fried perfectly, sauce was tangy and fantastic, just wish the pork was more moist/tender. Karaage was just okay, probably wouldn’t order it again, most of the flavor came from the sauce. My dad loved his eel bowl set, flavored and cooked well. My katsudon bowl was delicious, again katsu was a little dry, togarashi is a must with this bowl. And the cold soba noodles were great, the sauce dip was perfectly seasoned and noodles were perfect texture, very refreshing to eat.

Parking - small free lot! We had no issues getting parking.“

“The food was really however you had to pay like 2 dollars for each additional topping which wouldn't be so bad if it were a sharable size so more than one person could use them

Kid-friendliness: Not many kid friendly options“

“I used to come here regularly and my first visit was back in 2001. The food and service has always been great. Mimi had quite the personality and perhaps some might've thought she was rude but I loved the character that she added. I'm not sure if she's still there but I know today I saw Yohan who has always been the most lovely pleasant server ever. I've heard some people tell me that it isn't the same and it has fallen down hill but today I went in with my father and I still enjoyed the atmosphere and the service. These are the THE BEST California rolls I've ever had. You can't beat the price on the quality of these rolls. Thank you for still making food I enjoy.“

“ABSOLUTELY the BEST ramen I have ever had!!! The service is amazing, the fried pumpkin... off the hook!!! Spring rolls, yaaasssss!! I had the King Ramen...whoaaaaa! Daaaaammnnn!! You will NOT be disappointed. Thanks to the owners for the great experience.“

“This restaurant was amazing! The food was well cooking and seasoned lots of flavor in the Ramen broth and noddles, everything was prepared fresh. The staff was very attentive and kind, my friends and I had a great time there definitely will be coming back!“

“Best teriyaki chicken“

“Had a great experience here. Got pot stickers and the mild beef ramen and it was so good. If I lived closer I’d come more often. I think I spent around $20 for my meal. The workers were so nice and the one guy was asking every single person that came to the counter if they were okay/ if they enjoyed their food which I thought was very sweet. Music was a bit loud but I was by myself so that’s the only reason I noticed. Highly recommend going if you’re looking for a ramen spot and it looked like they had a lot to choose from sushi wise.“

“Well worth the drive from Palm Springs! Excellent food and service!“

“On my last visit, I accidentally ordered the wrong item, but the manager was so kind and accommodating. They not only brought me the dish I had originally wanted but also let me keep the first item I ordered by mistake. That level of customer service really stood out to me and made me feel valued.
The food here is consistently delicious great portions, flavorful, and always fresh. Every time I come, I leave satisfied. Highly recommend this place for both the food and the excellent service!“

“Been meaning to eat here forever. Finally, I came in today for lunch. Got the Combo C and the Blossom Roll. I've eaten at all the Japanese restaurants in SGV and Little Tokyo. This one is up there. High quality of food, while flavors go together well without being overpowering.“

“Hidden gem of an authentic Japanese sushi and sashimi market. The entrance is located in the back of a side driveway. Though this market is small, I carries fresh sushi, sashimi trays ready to eat. Plus they have a kitchen made to order & ready to cut sashimi at your request. I'm also amazed to see the varieties of different raw fish, uni from Santa Barbara and raw scallops; all at reasonable prices.
They also carry cute Japanese stationary, frozen and regular food items. Definitely this is a place I heartily recommend.“

“Best Japanese Food in Whittier“

“It was a great experience We took our dear granddaughter to celebrate her birthday !!!“

“Came here during happy hour and got seated right away. Our waiter was super friendly and we loved that they had a sharing platter for $64.99 for 4 different rolls and than we also got a Isa Geso. The portion size for the Isa Geso was so worth the price. The rolls were so fresh and everything tasted amazing. The garlic aioli was so good for the Isa Geso. We'll definitely be back for sure.“

“They have vegan options …memorable onigiri (rice balls), edamame, pickled veggies, seaweed salad, and temaki (hand rolls). Their vegan onigiri keep me coming back! Soooooo good! The spot in Little Tokyo 123 Astronaut E S Onizuka St, Ste 103, Los Angeles, California 90012. Updated from previous review on 2024-11-08“

“Great food and great service“

“wow... im at a loss for words. my experience? downright perfect. every bite was an adventure i could only describe either as colorful or blissful, im stuck between the two. the customer service? even better. all my needs were met, and all my wants were blown out of the water as i recieved my meal. going here is not something you should consider, it's something you have to do.“

“Conveniently located nearby!!“

“I had came here for some to go terriyaki chicken before but this time was the first time eating at the restaurant.

It’s a cute little Japanese restaurant with a variety of options from rolls, sushi, warm plates/bento boxes.
I have definitely not explored a lot, but what we got was great.

We tried chicken gyozas, which were okay. We also tried the shrimp eggroll recommended by the owner as she told us the filling was made in house, which was good!
For the plates, I got the sesame chicken as I wanted to change from terriyaki. It was really good. Filling with the rice and salad. The miso soup was actually really good!

Overall, it was a great experience. We got to talk a lot with the owner, and I learned a bit more about that place that has been around for 20 years!
So, my only advice is: support your local smaller businesses. They need it and you get to enjoy nice food!“

“Friendly waters and comfortable setting“

“25 years ago was my first visit and I'm still a regular. My kids practically grew up loving authentic Japanese food because of the kindness of the owners and the care with which they make the food.
It's a relaxing restaurant.“

“To over priced.“

“This place is a hidden gem in Alhambra. The fish is incredibly fresh, the portions are generous, and the variety on the all-you-can-eat menu is impressive — from classic nigiri to creative rolls and tasty appetizers like baked mussels and garlic edamame.

Service was friendly and fast, and the sushi chefs really know what they’re doing. Even during busy hours, everything came out beautifully plated and delicious. You can tell they care about both quality and presentation.

Definitely worth the price — I left full, satisfied, and already planning my next visit. If you're craving AYCE sushi in the SGV, this is the spot to hit. Highly recommended!“

“nice little place... friendly staff... good food.“

“Wanted to try a new place and I saw pictures of the food and thought it looks good. Went to try it out and just overall all the sushi taste great fresh sushi! They had fried softshell crab and that was one of the amazing dishes we had but everything we had tasted great! Definitely will come back!“

“Delicious. Perfectly cooked katsu every time. The curry and katsu sauce are both great but the curry is the winner here. Portions are big. Definitely more than enough for most people to take home a nice size of leftovers. Definitely stop in and try this place!“

“Meet quality really nice to me Good service!“
