This restaurant offers a great overall experience. The food sets are well put together, with balanced portions that are satisfying without feeling too heavy. Prices are very reasonable. The desserts made by the owner are especially delicious and a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is clean and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back and recommend it to others.

This is my fifth time being here. The food is amazing! I love the Tuna Bowl, sashimi, and sushi here. The fish they use are very fresh. My bf loves their tempura. Also, their homemade dessert is so delicious!

This is the most legitimately OG sushi experience I’ve had in a while. This place is so authentic my waitress poked fun at me for grabbing the wrong dish for my soy sauce haha However, the service is fast, professional, very warm and friendly really just feel feels like I’m eating with my aunts & uncles. Chef did an excellent job with all of my rolls & nigiri even made me a custom vegetable mani roll upon request. The pricing is fair. Everything was super fresh and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend coming to to enjoy their lunch menu!

In my opinion this is the best Japanese restaurant in OC! Great food and great service! - Kisu Tempura and Maitake tempura is my favorite. It’s really hard to find fish tempura and especially good ones around here, their kisu tempura is beyond my expectations. Served at the right temperature keeps the coating crispy and fish soft. Maitake tempura is very juicy and retains all the mushroom flavor. - The fire grilled king mackerel is also cooked to perfection, the surface is grilled to be dry and smoky flavor but kept all the moisture and oils for the meat. - Simmered Kinki fish is seasoned well, sweetness and saltiness has a great balance. Also comes with a tofu soaked and cooked in the fish broth which is a big plus. Will definitely come back soon!

I’d been wanting to try this spot for so long, and it was worth the wait! The Agedashi Tofu and Grilled Pacific Saury were perfect with cold sake, and the sushi was so fresh. The Seared Engawa was a standout — honestly one of the best I’ve had outside of Japan. Finished with the matcha pudding, which was the perfect ending. Staff were so kind and welcoming, and even dining alone I felt completely comfortable. Very authentic Japanese food — I’ll definitely be back!
