This place has the WORST service I have EVER experienced. First, the food was not even that good for them to have all the restaurant polices they do and to even charge that much for the food. The service was so bad and our waiter was rude and so condescending, repeatedly telling our group “this is a restaurant,” as if we have never been to a restaurant before?? This is the FIRST TIME my group and I have ever felt so awkward and uncomfortable in a restaurant setting. If the rules are SO important, maybe tell people the rules before they sit down and decide to eat instead of having a random piece of paper that nobody can see!! In every restaurant I have been to, i’ve been able to share a dish with another person since I know portion sizes are big, and by any chance if the portion sizes are small, then my waiter would KINDLY suggest that we would get another dish, but OUR server basically FORCED US to get another dish and kept repeating “this is a restaurant…” LIKE OBVIOUSLY THATS WHY I CAME HERE?? Also we came here because we thought they had ramen (because on google it literally says “Ramen Restaurant”) and THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE RAMEN? They only had ONE ramen option for their dinner menu. At the end the waiter also said “Next time, since this is a RESTAURANT, each person has to order $20 MINIMUM,” and first off, no where on that sign does it say that we “have” to do that, and second off, the way the waiter said it was SO BEYOND passive aggressive and condescending. In conclusion, we will NOT be coming back here and we WILL make sure our friends don’t come here either. Fix your service before you have the AUDACITY to charge your obscure prices.

Nothing short of amazing! I think I very much found a hidden gem with this little place that's tucked into the far end of a strip mall.
Minimal English on the part of my server but that just enhanced the experience. One of the sushi chefs spoke great English so I was able to sort out dinner.
I started with a salmon hand roll. Very fresh and maybe 30-seconds between the chef's hands and my first bite. Simple yet perfect.
I also had Agadashi tofu - big portion, great broth, served piping hot and delicious.
I grabbed one of their pressed box sushi offerings and I'm glad I tried it. Salmon was slightly charred on top and what a neat approach. I'll keep an eye open for that style whenever I'm having sushi from now on.
The final item I ordered was on a separate printed sheet that arrived with the menu. Description was in Japanese but subtitled in English. It was wasabi-marinated octopus. I was the only white guy in the place and apparently the only white guy to ever order this dish. Over the course of the meal, about half of the staff came by to see if I was eating it. Of course! It was really delicious! Someone isn't likely to step from their first California roll to that dish but I've been enjoying sushi for over 40 years and found it one of the more unusual but thoroughly enjoyable and off the beaten path dishes I've ever had. Fresh wasabi and an almost ceviche-like mouth feel combined to make it a great experience and I'm glad I tried it, even if the staff didn't believe I really liked it.

A friend recommended this place to me and I absolutely love this place. Some my personal favorites: sesame spinach, beef tongue, wasabi scallops, and agedashi tofu. Typically busy on Friday/Saturday nights, so it would be wise to make a reservation over the phone

The waitress confidently and professionally advised my friend not to order a dish (we already had two entrees and an app) and accommodated by changing the extra item slightly to make it smaller. 10 stars. AND THE FOOD IS AMAZING. Chicken curry: chicken is so soft and crunchy; the curry sauce had little seasoned pieces of beef that really caught me by surprise. It was so good. It was so good the only picture I could get is my empty plate.

Looking for a nice place for sashimi and nigiri. After seeing the photos and reviews, thought it is the place to go. Went at lunch time, and they only serve a very limited lunch selections, mostly fried meats lunch box... no where on the website says that. Ok... no problem, returned at dinner time, and ordered what I thought would be very traditional Japaneses choices, but was disappointed by the service... they brought out main course before appetizers. And the chirashi was just average 🙄
We went here a few times but today my husband was having a VERY bad day and wasn’t really himself (death in the family). I went to the restroom while he paid but he forgot to tip. An old waitress stopped us and proceeded to ask us to explain why he did not leave one. So unprofessional.

Good place for small bites with drink. Expect to pay hefty price as all those small bites will add up, especially with drinks. Good vibe and service.

Consistently the best Japanese food I've had outside of Japan. I go here at least once a month. It is elegant, authentic Japanese cuisine, the service is polite and quick, and the resturaunt is very clean. Highly recommend.
