Friday night dinner and it was busy. It’s a very small dining area. We ordered badly. We should have just ordered the teriyaki plate and shared it. Things we ordered were not as we expected them to be. Eggplant were small and tasted different and had flakes of seafood on top. Did not taste good. The tofu in a soupy broth was better but mushy. The mushrooms were stiff and almost tasted burnt. The dumplings were a bit bland but the chicken teriyaki plate was excellent and I would come back and just order that next time. Good value and great flavors and selection of everything. Enough to probably share between two people. Overall it was expensive for what we got.
I don’t know what they put in this food but it was ABSOLUTELY amazing. I was referred to this place by a friend and was not disappointed. I loveddd the steak, as it had just the right amount of teriyaki sauce on it. The miso soup was also great. I’ve had some bad miso soup before and this definitely wasn’t it. I will definitely be hitting this spot again on my way back to California
A true gem, never thought such an amazing restaurant was located here. The food is amazing portions are generous and prices are fair and affordable. Every dish feels homemade and it’s absolutely delicious. Lunch has a scheduled special each day and very affordable. The curry as well as the rice bowls are amazing. We also tried the curry udon and the grilled fish and everything was absolutely delicious. They also have tables for larger parties and service is very fast and friendly. A must try, you will love it
Wife and I went on a Saturday evening and the restaurant was packed. We got seated pretty fast the wait was about 10 minutes. After ordering, the wait for the food was about 5 minutes and the food tasted as delicious as it looked. I made the mistake of eating a spoonful of Wasabi when I wondered what was on the edge of my wife's pork cutlet plate. My omelet was pretty plain but the fried rice it was on top of made up for it. The croquettes were pretty big and delicious too; crunchy outside and fluffy inside. I learned about this place from YouTube when I saw their onigiri so I ordered 4 of them to go, 2 plain and 2 grilled with salmon. Big, delicious, and the perfect snack. Look forward to going again.
Saw this place on Worth It, and tried the Yaki Onigiri, it was pretty disappointing. Order a few others things and they were also just ok.
I really enjoy having lunch here. The taste is unbelievable.
Very friendly servers and the menu is reasonably priced. A very large selection and variety of meals to choose from including small or larger plates depending on sharing preferences. Food came out quickly and tasted very fresh. Got the Okonamiyaki, salmon skin salad and sauteed beef. All solid and delicious.
The sashimi is very fresh and tasty when dipped in ponzu with green onion. The beef teriyaki is delicious as well, if you're not a fan of teriyaki sauce you can substitute it for ponzu. Portions are very generous, the tempura is light and crispy. I've never been disappointed by any of the dishes I've tried here, overall a solid spot.
