What Diners Say

★★★★ "First time here and had a very pleasant experience with great food. My wife and I ordered ordered their chicken teriyaki bento box and tempura udon. Both were excellent. The chicken was grilled to perfection and the tempura broth was really good. Portions are on the large size.

★ "COCKROACHES AT THIS FAKE JAPANESE PLACE! 3.1 STARS ON YELP. AVOID!

★★★★★ "Some comments mention poor service, I would say you get what you pay for. I’m happy to pay less for the meal and for less service to be provided (maybe it’s because I’m a tourist and if anything am not used to the over friendliness of wait staff here).

★★★ "Again, too many options to choose from in Japantown, but we finally settled on this place to have our dinner. Fortunately there was no wait time when we arrived, although it did start getting busy by the time we left.

★★★★★ "Was in the Japan town area and dined in with my mom and it was so lovely!
