I absolutely loved this place! ❤️Everything I ordered was delicious. I had the eel with rice, and it was incredibly flavorful, with a perfectly sized portion. It came with a delicious sauce and a special Japanese pepper that complemented the dish beautifully.

I also ordered oolong tea and two kinds of mochi — mango and green tea — both were wonderful.

What made the experience especially memorable was the owner. He was incredibly warm, kind, and attentive, somehow managing to check in with everyone and make each guest feel welcome. He asked how I liked the food and even recommended a place in Japan where I could try this kind of dish.

I left with such a warm impression. Delicious food, wonderful hospitality, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere. I wish this restaurant all the success — it truly deserves it!

I had a wonderful experience trying the Japanese cuisine here! The staff was incredibly welcoming and provided excellent service. Would love to visit again and explore more of the menu.

Authentic Japanese restaurant from the decor to the taste. We really enjoyed our meal and would be happy to go back and try more from their expansive menu. Walked in on a Saturday night without a res, and we were able to get a seat at the bar.

I have been to this place multiple times but our experience last night was horrendous. We had a reservation for 7:45pm and ordered. One of us had a train to catch and had to leave by 9:25 latest. At 8:45pm the waiter realized that our food had not been put in and started apologizing. We asked to just have our food. They then got our food wrong twice - the udon tempura arrived not as a soup, as had been ordered but just as noodles. My friend's suchi platter arrived as a sashimi platter. He offered us comped drinks which we didn't want. When the food arrived, one of us was missing a spoon for another 5 min. In the end, not only did we not get any of the previously ordered drinks (or food) free but we were overcharged which we then had to wait to get fixed. Absolutely unacceptable. And the whole time the waiter kept apologizing and asking how he can make it right and we felt obliged to reassure him that it was ok (it wasn't but what else are we to do?).
In terms of the atmosphere, it is designed to be authentic Japanese but the acoustics are horrible so if you have sensory issues or do not like loud places, might want to avoid.

The food is generally fine but does not stand out from other Japanese places.

trying to find authentic and delicious japanese food can be hard but this place has the closest thing to what you can get in japan. Felt like I was transported back to my happy place! The waitress is also extremely friendly and helpful! Great place all around
