    As someone who grew up eating Japanese food, I was really impressed. The flavors were authentic, and the quality of the fish was excellent. The service was warm and professional, and the overall atmosphere felt inviting. Highly recommended if you’re looking for real Japanese dining.

    Ok idk if our expectations r too high from the google rating but this is prob the worst Japanese place I've ever been to, i would give it a 0 if it was an option. The service was not good to begin with. The server we had wouldn’t bring anything unless we explicitly asked. The yakiniku was overly salty I could finish the whole rice. The miso soup was really confusing cuz it was fishy and the ginger flavor was really strong. Price was kinda expensive too I feel like this is more expensive than even some nyc japanese restaurants. Also they charge 10% tariff fee, ik its prob not their fault but I would expect the food to be good if ur charging that much.

    The food was honestly terrible. It doesn’t even deserve one star.

    Fantastic lunch. By far the best chicken and tempura of any place in the area.

    I want to bring something to your attention regarding the chicken katsu. Your menu describes it as a “chicken cutlet,” which universally refers to a thin, breaded piece of chicken breast. However, the dish was not prepared with chicken breast at all, which means it did not match the description on your menu. Because the item was misrepresented, and because the food was not eaten, a refund was requested. Unfortunately, your manager handled the situation rudely and dismissively, and refused to offer a refund despite the clear discrepancy between what was advertised and what was served. You should update the menu description to avoid misleading future customers.
