We finally stopped in to try this Japanese restaurant! This is an Izakaya restaurant. Their menu has a variety of options, snacks,(sozai), Japanese Salads, sashimi, along with hot dishes, dishes and delicious desserts!

Great staff, all of them speak Japanese. This place is pretty excellent, and their dishes are served tastefully. Standout winners were the karaage, unfiltered sake, yellowtail sashimi, and tofu. All in all a great experience, and a little pricey but definitely worthwhile from a quality standpoint!

Gohan is my favorite. Toban sukiyaki is a bit expensive in terms of portion.

Such a great little gem in Santa Monica. I came here for dinner with friends one night and later for a private event and loved it both times. It’s an Izakaya with great food, a good selection of sake’s and a friendly staff in a nice, quaint environment. Perfect for after work meet ups and small intimate parties.

Amazing staff. Tasty sushi. Great service! Highly recommend the salmon hand roll and salmon sashimi. Those were our favorite items! Gyoza was solid. Eggplant dish was good, but we anticipated it being warm/hot dish…just a heads up it is a cold dish! We also ordered the cooked salmon plate…that was not our favorite item, but it was solid. Would recommend exploring their unique menu. Limited outdoor seating (dog friendly), beautiful and plenty of indoor seating. Parking street side or north of Wilshire. Hope to be back soon!!

These are not Ubereats level of foods. They deliver you awesome foods with perfection. I wonder if the owner is Japanese or Korean. Anyway, they were so delicious.

Japanese food tapas style. Great change-up from the usual sushi places. Even with two people, you try about six different dishes. Order the mackeral and they will blow torch it in front of you at the table. Pretty good and not too fishy. Sukiyaki was good but make sure you don’t overcook the meat. Tsukune is okay – they are just chicken meatballs, a cheap appetizer. Get the assorted sashimi for some balance. Two thumbs up
