I’ve been coming here for years, and it remains my favorite Japanese restaurant. The beef tongue steak and sukiyaki are excellent, and the staff is warm and welcoming. Very authentic.

Been here 4 times bringing friends and it's just a fantastic and polite atmosphere with very skilled preparation of every plate. Fine and subtle preparation with a deep respect for the very best catch of the day. They excel in their craft so be ready to enjoy the siilled preparation.

I was warmly greeted by a very polite manager who led me to a cozy and intimate table. The restaurant offers a great selection of premium sake at reasonable prices. We enjoyed the Shabu Shabu Course for two, which included an assortment of delicious appetizers, fresh vegetables, and premium, tender thinly sliced beef to be simmered in a flavorful broth. Delicious udon noodles were served at the end of the hotpot. As native Japanese, we can confidently say that Jukai is as authentic...
