QUALITY authentic japanese food...

by jap29

now THIS is what you call Japanese food!! First of all, let me just say that this is a place to go for real Japanese food, NOT for the ramen noodles. I'm sure it's great, but that's not what you should be going here for!!

This an expensive restaurant. Almost every dish is small, but expensive. I am unsure as to how this restaurant is perceived through the eyes of non-Japanese people, but Japanese people would find the quality of the food to be worth paying these high prices for. aji ga totemo jyouhin desunode, amerikajin no kuchi niwa awanai kamo shiremasen. The prices are high because they are serving things that just wouldn't be economical and too time consuming to make at home.

Absolutely AMAZING... I am Japanese, and when I had tasted the food here, I was in love...

• Pros: the FOOD

Expensive sushi/sashimi... but noodles worth it!

by missclk

I wouldn't come here for sushi or sashimi 'cos they're so expensive. I ordered the Sashimi Lunch Box ($15) once... the portion was so small (9 tiny pieces), it didn't fill me up at all (yes, I even finished the entire bowl of rice that came with my order). But I saw most people around me ordered noodles or some sort... so I guess those would be a much better deal (average $12). In case you're wondering, the decor is standard Japanese (all wood).

• Pros: Noodles

the hidden menu

by alxsuh

What the Japanese are lining up for, esp on fridays is not on the menu.

It's pork ramen.

It amazing and that's what the fuss is about. Of course the sushi is very fresh as well.

• Pros: good food
• Cons: , expensive

the best lunch!

by siberiancat

lunch at this place is delicious and pretty cheap. I love their eel specialty and yummy lunch boxes. Lunch is much more affordable at this place than dinner.

Soba noodles...hmmmm

by Cmjohnsonwi

Friday Soba noodles are worth the trip for a great lunch (under $15). Careful. I found this place by walking by and seeing a line of japanese people waiting outside in a line at 12:30 for the forementioned noodles. It can get crowded then.

• Pros: friendly service, great friday lunch, fresh sushi!
