Imanishi Japanese Kitchen offers a cozy and relaxed atmosphere with friendly and quick service. The menu features a variety of dishes, including anchovy potato salad & chips, karashi ribs, corn kakiage, Tokyo toast, monkfish liver pâté, tofu and mizuna, saba miso-ni, gyudon, and fish carpaccio. The portions are tapas-sized, making them perfect for sharing. Prices are reasonable, and walk-ins for bar seating are welcome, especially during busy times. The restaurant also has a patio for warmer months. Customers praise the great service, unique but familiar food, and fun selection of sake. The atmosphere is described as fantastic, with staff being extremely kind and accommodating. Many diners enjoy the small sharing portions of dishes like sashimi, corn tempura, beef ribs, and prawn and cilantro salad, which are all considered first rate. The gyudon is a favorite among families, and the Japanese toast with Taro ice cream is highly recommended for dessert, appreciated for its crispy outside and soft inside. The plating enhances the dining experience, and many recommend making reservations during dinner due to its popularity. Overall, Imanishi Japanese Kitchen is a favorite for its delicious food, excellent service, and cozy vibe, though some note that seating can be tight and not accessible for everyone.
