Food not clean. My spouse got diarrhea 20 mins after dinner at this place. She had salmon meishi with uni. Sashimi salad. Something is not good.

This is my most favorite izakaya in the Bay Area. Why? The food is reasonably priced and the food tastes awesome. It is not a fancy taste but it is such a taste that you can come back again and again. There used to be “three eggs stone pot” featuring crackling rice with ikura, uni, and poached eggs. As of May 2023, they no longer served those. Still, we have good stone pot like mixed fish and you can add uni on top. The stamina bowl (I’m not sure if I remember the name correctly) amazes me with a large portion and variety of meat like beef tongue, grilled beef, and braised pork. Don’t underestimate simple dish like chicken karaage. It is crunchy outside, juicy inside, alongside with fried peppers. I didn’t order the clam udon this time but that always sooth and complete your meal. Highly recommended this place!

Highly recommend salmon avacado carpaccio, salmon sashimi and niku don. It’s really fresh. Unagi don is also good, despite a bit too much rice. Overall great Japanese food with decent price.

This is “deluxe meshi” and I did take-out order for my mother, and she really enjoyed it, and it was not usual my mother came back to me and asked where I got this. Next time, I will come back with my family members and will try out dine-in. I am sure there are a lot of menus that can exceed my expectation!

Even though we didn’t have a reservation, we were able to be seated at opening as long as we finished before the next reservation came through. Easy peasy.

They must have downgraded their sashimi supplier because it is now terrible. Used to be quite fresh, but now it tastes like something you get at a gas station or 7-11. Do not order their sashimi, trust me. You will likely have diarrhea after. Most other dishes are solid enough though.

Great place for Japanese cuisine. Every dish is beyond my expectations. The service is also very good. Would definitely go there again.

I have mixed feeling about this restaurant. My husband and I came for lunch because of the high review of this restaurant.

Chicken karaage salad was a good portion for the price and the salad dressing went really well with the dish. The rice dishes on the other hand tasted bland and lacking proper seasoning. I did appreciate the meat/fish amount they put in each pot though. Good little spot to grab a quick bit or hang out to have sake.
