Maneki Neko Japanese Restaurant

I’ve been coming to this hidden gem for years, and this review is overdue. Sushi is always very fresh. Kiso (white fish) tempura is very delicious. My other favorites are okonomiyaki, kumamoto (raw) oysters, grilled eel, and yellowtail and scallion roll.

One of my top local restaurants. It is a small but adorable place and the staff is always attentive and very friendly. Highlights include the incredible Nabeyaki Udon noodle soup. Served in a clay pot with the tastiest broth ever. The kisu tempura is lovely and I have loved the sushi I have tried as well.

They have a pretty awesome menu, but charge premium prices for very not premium food. The yellowtail jaw was good, but it was over cooked and should have been much better. The chutoro was extremely oxidized - I have never in my life been served chutoro that was so brown. If they cut prices by 50%, I would give more stars. For this price, I will eat elsewhere.

Good variety of ramen and excellent lunch combos. My family loved the Tom Yum seafood ramen and oxtail soup. I tried and liked the shio ramen, miso ramen, salad, and chicken teriyaki. Service was friendly and fast. I'd be curious to try their desserts.

Comfort Japanese food. The Grilled fish was too mild without sauce. Ramen was average. Very friendly service.
