    The gyoza and salad dressing was the best item I had. The gyoza was crispy and quite enjoyable.The sushi didn’t seem fresh and rice was not very sticky. The udon soup was okay.

    I went to this place once because my Japanese friend said it seemed like home food and it really did not disappoint. Went again and brought my whole family and each meal was just excellent. I got the negitoro don (special menu, on white board when entering) and it was some of the best fish I’ve ever eaten. Would % hands down come again and again.

    Ordered their pan fried miso salmon (one of their specials)--cooked to perfection. Soft, moist, flavorful, with a nice skin. Do not fear dry salmon here!The specials are varied, and come with a combination of sides with a good amount of food.The water tastes good too, no tap flavor.Parking: Neighboorhood close, with plenty of street parking.

    My friend raved about this restaurant and brought me there claiming it is “homestyle” Japanese food. Not sure what to expect but it sure look and tasted like a home cook meal, except dun expect chef-style or standard. We came to this restaurant after :pm and were seated immediately. Both myself and the server saw a little small insect moving on the table and he smashed it with his finger nonchalantly.I ordered the grilled mackerel but was told it was sold out so I picked the usual grilled squid, which isn’t the best if I compare it to all the other grilled squid I’ve had. It was served with a lemon wedge and tasted quite bland and was rather dry compared to the other Japanese restaurants. The fried oysters tasted normal, nothing outstanding. The rice ball is a nice size with a good amount of fillings of Mentai, but rice somehow felt and tasted a little bit dry and the Mentai was a little too salty.My friend ordered the ginger pork bento set. I had a taste of a piece of pork and it tasted fine but nothing out of the ordinary.All the servers were very nice and friendly. This place looks like a family owned operation and only takes cash payment. The setting to me is “rustic Japanese”. I personally won’t return but I know my friend will and had been returning to this restaurant over the years.
