Incredible experience - we reserved the November bar seating for our anniversary, and every dish was both beautiful to look at and delicious to eat. Eating at the bar was especially unique, as we could watch the chef make everything right in front of us! We also really liked the 3 Sake flight. A great place for kaiseki on the east side.

Service was amazing as well, very friendly staff and the chef takes a direct role in the dining experience engaging with all the guests.
Would highly recommend this place for an elevated Japanese dining experience!

Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy authentic Japanese dining.
The food is simply outstanding—each dish is thoughtfully prepared, with fresh ingredients and exquisite flavors that showcase the artistry of Japanese cuisine.
The environment is serene and beautifully decorated, creating the perfect ambiance for a relaxing meal.
The service is attentive and warm, making you feel welcomed from the moment you step in.
A very intimate atmosphere between the guests and the head chef/owner. The food was excellent. Each dish has distinct characteristics and everything was a cohesive experience.

Chef Nori and the team at Towa provided top notch hospitality and I really enjoyed the Kaiseki meal. I could tell that all the food was made with fresh, seasonal ingredients and everything tasted delicious. The dishes were presented beautifully and loved the sake sampler as well. It’s a good place for a special occasion & experience.

We had a wonderful dinner here! Every single course was delicious and creatively presented. Chef is friendly and explains each dish. My favorite is the hot pot with mochi, clam and sea bream. This stone pot flavored rice with squid was also delicious and I had leftovers that I enjoyed for lunch the next day. A great value for the cost of this omikase.

My new favorite restaurant on the eastside! Chef Nori and Chef Aya make masterful and delicious dishes with true love! I can’t say enough great things about the food, service and ambiance! Do yourself a favor and book now before it gets too popular.
Love it ? it was on my birthday. We pre-ordered 3 towa courses and had 2 sake fight 3 kinds. Although they would not answer the phone call, however, when in person, the service people were extremely personable and down to earth. My son had drinks to try on the house. It ended with my special birthday dessert made on the spot. The time consuming beautiful sugar lace was only for the birthday person extra special.
Birthday dinner with family with bar seating All dishes are delicious and you should appreciate the mindfulness of ingredients selection, delicated preparation and perfect execution.
Originally want to open a bottle of sake but the selection is limited, and opt for the 5 sake flight Sake flight could be improved as I did not expect three cold and 1 hot sake served at the same time. I expect each sake will specifically pair with the dish(es), not me exploring what could go with each dish, or a clear direction which one should start from.
Chef Morita is friendly and he gracefully cooks and serves each guest with perfect timing. Other staff are professional!

Kitchen dishes were either too salty/dry or too bland.
- The snapper dish was way too salty with the sauce; - The the clam rice had no taste. - The miso soup was worse than a regular sushi restaurant - The pork and taro dish didn’t impress either - Asked for ginger (standard Japanese food compliment to Sushi) and literally got served freshly cut raw ginger that wasn’t edible.
Pretty much one of the few occasions where I had leftovers in my Kaiseki dishes.
Overall not worth the price, presentation was a pass, taste was unsatisfactory, ingredients were mediocre.
By last few courses I wanted to finish the meal asap and leave. When I got the check I was surprised to see 20% service fee already added (this is okay by itself) AND there was another “suggested gratuity” of 20% tips totaling 40% of the total price. We had to clarify why it was “suggested” to add another 20% tips on top of the service charge that was automatically collected.
Would not recommend beyond the first try.

Great services with seasonal, fresh material. Great portion of wagyu and rice that you can take home if you can’t finish. There is another restaurant next door sharing the same kitchen looks super great value. Highly recommended.
