I really like Japanese food so I go to a lot of Japanese restaurants so I have a lot to compare to. This place was really good in general. Nice atmosphere, looked like a lot of places in Japan from outside and in. The best dish we got was a beer short ribs with adobo sauce. The meat on that dish was perfect. The rest were just ok. I would go back, just didn’t think or was amazing.

Good Japanese restaurant if you wanna take your Japanese colleagues or costomers for business lunch/dinner. Good collection of sake and soju as well. Vegetarian choices are there but not enough for someone like me with a spicy taste.

Omg…Yes yes yes… I just moved in the neighborhood and found this little gem, I’ve been there three times in two weeks and I always sit at the bar with my friend. Kaiko (just guessing how to spell her name LOL) is the bartender/server/Hostess/does everything around there and she is awesome, the cocktails are great, the atmosphere is cozy and you would feel comfortable if you came in on your day off and street close or if you were a little dressed up for date night. The food is absolutely in credible, all the staff that works there is very nice and friendly and smiling and make conversation it’s just a great place I definitely recommend it, they will definitely see my face on a regular basis, my kind of place.

Atmosphere and service are excellent, food is okay- could be better. Good place for family gathering. Price is on the higher side.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere here as well as the authentic food. The decor and design, inside and out was amazing. The food options were excellent, offering up choices that were ideal for anyone. Should I ever go back to San Jose, I wouldn’t mind stopping in again.
