  Used to go all the time, but now there is a new owner. New owner has changed the menu... Food is 50% more expensive, portion is 50% the size. I'm afraid I won't be going back. This shabu dish (photo) was 80 dollars not including tax and tip

  Another favorite Japanese restaurant. Seasonal fish throughout the year if you’re looking to try different fish other than tuna. One of the best tempuras I’ve ever had from their fish tempura (this is a must order) to their uni tempura. Uni is amazing here. If you by chance get to meet the owner, he might let you in on the secret. You also might get lucky & karaoke with him at the end of the night. Hot pot broth is delicious but only served when seated at a booth. Staff is friendly, knowledge & fun to talk with. Don’t forget to buy them a round. Have met lots of interesting people just sitting at the sushi bar itself but if you’re looking to sit in one of the booths, make a reservation a head of time.

  Honestly pretty good. It was a lot better than so many other places. the grilled fish had nice flavor and decent cook, not perfect though. the fish they put in the sashimi salad was fresh. a bit heavy handed with the sauce though. if i have to take sometime to midtier japanese, i think i would try to take them here.

  The photo shared by others is real. Way overpriced for shabu-shabu. We spent $80 for two people and only got around 14 slices of beef, plus some cabbage, mushrooms and tofus.

  The sushi is excellent. The chef prepared it with subtle finishes that created really interesting nuance - a light charring, a brush of simple marinade, a light salt, lemon, some other things I could not recognize, or a combination. I had the chef’s choice and each one stood alone, apart from the others in taste-experience. I will definitely be back! I want to try the sockeye salmon from a lake on Mount Fuji (sadly, they ran out before I arrived).
