I came here with my sister in December.
It was my first time coming here, even though I have lived here for 20 years.
It is a tad hard to notice from the street and it looks small from the outside, but it is actually a lot bigger inside and has a warm atmosphere.
It was nice to be greeted by the sushi chefs upon entering.
It was not at all crowded (perhaps due to the holidays?), and I requested to be seated in what I refer to as a "dining box" with the classic hanging cloth to divide it from the hall. Across from us were private dining tatami rooms, most likely reserved for more formal locations (they have slippers available by the way).
The wait staff was very polite and actually responded to me in Japanese, which is a plus.
This restaurant does not have a lot of beef dishes (to my sister's disappointment), but the tea is very good (I am picky with teas) and I had a delicious katsudon (that my sister found delicious as well).
They do break for lunch, so plan accordingly.
Anyway, I plan to come here again in March to have lunch with my sister again for my birthday.
Thank you for the pleasant dining experience!
Real Japanese Isakaya with Real Japanese Sushi Bar (authentic Japanese Sushi Chef who has passion for his servings). Uni sushi is pricey but it won’t disappoint. Love the Nabe. Good beer, nice sake selections and overall very nice casual Japanese dining with your choice of American seating or Japanese seating. Very clean too.
2018.08 a bit old now. Has some grill, sushi, beside ramen. Ramen.. The noodle itself is common. Not chewy. Meat is not too fresh, probably it's wed.....i feel some refrigerator taste.
Came in for a quick solo meal. I was pleasantly surprised by the traditional Japanese decor. The spicy roe omelet was fluffy and savory. The potato fried shrimp was scrumptious, as well. I’m so glad I wandered in here tonight!
