The food here tastes like what I imagine authentic Japanese home cooked meal to taste like. My favorite udon place to go during the winter.

Best authentic Japanese food in the city. Everything we’ve had here is delicious. The place and food are so cozy.

Tonkatsu was very nice and crispy. The eel in the eel rice bowl was a bit cold and the bboo they used for plating had many holes in them which made the rice fall down through the hole. While not a lot of rice still doesn’t feel great to waste, easy fix that I recommend they take. Miso soup and salads were good. Seems pretty authentic compared to a lot of other japanese restaurants and there were a lot of asian customers there. They’ve been around for a long time but the store feels pretty cozy and home style. The price point was pretty high but overall experience was not bad. Food was served in 5-10 minutes. I would revisit but not very frequently because of the price point.

Maybe my favorite place for Japanese food in Chicago- very homey atmosphere and great for homey Japanese food, like grilled mackerel or sanma. They also have solid sushi, curry rice and tempura, but I always come here for teishoku and their little bites like the ginkgo nuts and agedashi tofu.

The service here was extremely delayed and mediocre at best. When we asked for an update on our food they rushed through the order (they had forgotten about it, and openly admitted that they hadn’t even started a few dishes). When the food did finally come out, the quality was all over the place. The noodles and meat in my dish had basically disintegrated from sitting in boiling water too long, while other individuals noodles were undercooked and tasteless. Maybe it was just an off day, but not impressed and will not be eating here again.

They sat us in short notice and found food and staff exceptional! Try the pork belly. Can wait to return.

One of the very few Japanese restaurants in downtown where they serve Chawanmushi 茶碗蒸し. Very nice to have in cold weather.
Pleasantly surprised by this small yet authentic Japanese restaurant. Loved the menu, as it had many Japanese dishes beyond the typical Americanized sushi offerings. Didn’t get pictures of the sushi we ordered, but see pics of the Tonkatsu Curry and Saba. Both were excellent.
Excellent quality and taste and lovely experience!

The beef teriyaki is awesome and the chicken equally so. A nice dinner spot with lunch specials as well for during the day. Service was great and kind. Overall a good find. The ramen was also liked by my party.
