I have visited a few times because I enjoy their food and it is close by. However, during my last visit I was charged an extra amount for a tip that I did not authorize. I visited the restaurant and did not receive any resolution nor did I get an explanation for why the charge was added.
Tip padding is an unfair and dishonest practice; please be wary if you are paying with card.

My boyfriend and I were told that Sekisui in Midtown was the most authentic Japanese restaurant here in Memphis. When we visited and I had to use the bathroom and immediately saw a bidet toilet, I knew that we were told the truth. Besides the Japanese styled bathroom, the food immediately reminded me of Japan. Especially the menu and the way of ordering. We first started with the wasabi shumai and the yakitori, something I don’t typically see at Japanese restaurants. The shumai was amazing. I was glad that the wasabi was actually infused into the shumai and not within it, because when you take a bite you immediately feel the spice up your nose. The yakitori was also incredible, though a little too much sauce for my liking. The real winners were the sushi and entrée. We ordered salmon, mackerel and white tuna. The mackerel was definitely my favorite, I just love how salty the fish is. I ordered the yakiniku while my boyfriend ordered the kushiyaki steak. I am definitely biased, but I loved the yakiniku steak. It was incredibly flavorful, with the soy sauce marinated into the steak and vegetables underneath. With a side of white rice, it balanced it all out. My boyfriend’s kushiyaki steak was a little tough to eat, at least in my opinion, but he really enjoyed it. We also loved the selection of Japanese beets here as well. Will definitely come back when I am craving Japanese food again!

I’m not sure how to put it into words, but this is the only seikisui in Memphis as I’m concerned. The food, clearly, the best, the staff, there is no comparison to the other locations. Laid back, not a long wait and great bar and sushi chefs.
This was my favorite place to go when I was a child. It was my first and only introduction into the Japanese aesthetic. Although still a watered down version to make a more palatable experience for the western customer, I remember the experience as being one that felt sharper than the usual American restaurant. From the cloth hanging in the doorway to the removal of shoes before dining, there is a sense of respect for oneself and for the environment. Japanese food is much more intentional in its preparation and its presentation, and I’m grateful that I could have a small glimpse into this culture however removed from its roots that it was because it gave me a sense of taste I might not have developed later in life.

I wouldn't go anywhere else for Japanese food!
