Good service. The waiter was attentive and kind. The service was very fast. The presentation of the food was pretty. And they open at 11am ❤️🤤 Loved having early lunch here!!!

Service was great and the atmosphere was nice. The restaurant is very small - maybe seating for 30 or a bit less. The decorations are nice and the atmosphere was calming. They had a nice selection of Japanese beer. The food was very good - more authentic than many places. The food is not as Americanized, which is to say not sweet the way many Asian food here is. We had gyoza potstickers which were nice and crispy, the vegetable tempura which was also crispy, fresh and not greasy. The sunomono salad was fresh and tasty. The sesame chicken was also very nice and had a good sauce to accompany it.

Very disappointed. We’ve been to this place numerous times in the past, spent hundreds of dollars and had planned to continue to be regular customers, until tonight . Last time we went, my husband and I ordered an appetizer and 2 chirashi bowls ( a large bowl of rice with various kinds of fish) and it was too much food. Tonight, we ordered edamame, then proceeded to order one mixed tempura and one Chirashi bowl which we intended to share. Our rather rude waitress told us we were “required to order two entrees”. She tried to say that there was signage stating this. When I asked where, she said “in front”, but of course, there was no such signage. When I explained that two appetizers and the large chirashi bowl was plenty for just the two of us, she persisted that each of us was “ requi

The Japanese restaurant has designated vegan items on their menu, which we really appreciate. They were very accommodating and explained they have zero fish sauce in their restaurant and their tempura batter has no eggs or dairy. We ordered three items to share. Looking forward to trying more items on their menu! The food was delicious and the service was nice. Also quite affordable.

Family own business, nice people, good kids working together as a whole family, attentive service, warm and fresh home made taste, love to come again and again. Gochisōsamadeshita 🙏
