Service was great ?? Price was a little more than I expected $90 per person. Sukiyaki was good but a bit salty even after pouring more broth. Overall I had a good dinner at Juaki.

A couple of years ago, this was one of my favorite Japanese restaurants, but my recent visit was disappointing. Despite only ordering a duck hotpot, some sushi, and two glasses of sake, the bill for two came to nearly $400. Unfortunately, the quality didn't justify the steep prices - the duck pot, in particular, was bland and far from what it used to be. I won’t be returning.

The tasting menu is one of the most unique in the city. Chef has put in a lot of works to perfect the menu. Very thoughtful.

for a 400$ meal, this was painfully average. nothing was bad, but definitely not worth the cost.
we got the hotpot set. the appetizers were more like amuse bouche sizes (bite sized) and not really that good. the tuna with mayo (right most) was especially fishy.
the beef shabu shabu was okay. the broth was not particularly flavorful. overall i preferred places like kimura or hakata tonton which are significantly cheaper.

Overall the fish and food was great. We got a sashimi set, duck tartar (notice it’s seared), chirashi bowl, duck tongue, hot pot, sukiyaki, and a variety of desserts.
Tip - get the sesame pudding dessert and skip the hot pot and Sukiyaki. It’s pretty mid and extremely expensive for what it is.

Lovely place with wooden counters, warm staff that offers great service and superb food! Quiet and warm atmosphere, and I truly love the food there. High quality sushi, tasting menu, hot pot shabu shabu, and many other menu choices. I have been many times over the years and happy to support this restaurant, owned and managed by a lovely couple if I remember correctly. Great place.
Perfect Japanese meal. Tucked away below a jazz club you will find an intimate space. Great food (sashimi, braised duck, duck confit, tuna rolls…) great wine and fantastic service. Lots of attention from Mika and rest of crew. What a hidden gem. Glad we took a shot. Enjoy.

It’s like an adult hideaway, and I like the atmosphere of the counter. To be honest, the price is not cheap, but if you would like to eat Japanese delicious food made with high-quality ingredients, I think this price is reasonable. The staff are also very kind and considerate.

You can’t call yourself cozy just because it’s small; you can’t call yourself authentic if the service is rude as is.This place is not friendly to people who need help. It is difficult to find because it’s below the street level. Walking down stairs there’s a big tall threshold that’s definitely a tripping hazard. They don’t allow service nor emotional support animals and the manager being extremely rude to my wife and I by mocking us and the dog. There is only one tiny bathroom which is inaccessible and not ADA compliant.As said, all they care is charge you as much as they can with as little as the food. They don’t care about people who need help. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone who want to be fairly treated.
Wheelchair accessibility: It’s accessibility is a joke. Someone please check their threshold height, door clearance, clear path and the most important it’s bathroom.

My friend booked a dinner reservation for me tonight. Upon arrival, the host gave my friend an attitude even thought we had reservation and we kindly asked to be seated. The server who served us was pretty friendly, but the host who worn black blazer who also served us was giving us bad attitude throughout entire evening like we owned her money. She also talked about us with her coworkers in Japanese for sometime. She was very rude. And the staffs didn’t even check the noted we put on Resy that we have birthday celebration. We have ordered dessert but there was no candle . Anyway. Food was good, but service was meh.
One of my go-to places in the neighborhood.
