Bora B. • May 23, 2016I just ordered Spicy Hibachi Chicken which was really spicy but the Japanese Chef kept supplying side-dishes, even some shrimps to our plates just from the grill😉 great food, great show👍

Time Out San Francisco • February 22, 2018Start with a smattering of the kushiyaki, $4 a la carte bites like Kobe beef or obi, then follow up with sashimi picks like the bonito tatami: seared skipjack with onions, tobiko, and ponzu.

Chelsea Q. • November 21, 2021Sushi is so good for the price range

Alena C. • April 8, 2011Inexpensive, tasty sushi rolls - the crunchy roll was yum! Also features lunch specials where you can choose 2 entrees - teriyaki, tempura, ramen, etc.

Jenny E. • November 20, 2017Get the roasted black garlic ramen! If you like foie gras, also get the Ankimo monkfish liver - very tasty.

Carl T. • October 18, 2017Really delicious ramen. Broth is dashi/seafood base that is light and flavorful. Noodles had great texture. Try the house bowl first

J L. • August 6, 2014Delicious lunch special with a good deal on the amount of food you get. One of my favorite ramen places in SF so far.

Sharon P. • March 26, 2018The most amazing vegetarian broth and most delicious ramen I've had hands down!

John G. • February 27, 2017Enormous bowls of delicious udon. Curry udon with pork katsu was GREAT and too much food.

Connie C. • August 14, 2018Delicious omkase with a flair! Really unique combinations and flavor accents, like gold flakes, herbs, foie gras, etc on traditional sushi. Small station but great chefs. Def do the 12 piece.

Nikhil C. • February 18, 2019Absolutely the best place for Japanese curry in the city. This place serves the lesser know Japanese food, very authentic and has a friendly staff. Family owned and run. Expect a wait on weekends.

Jesse M. • October 21, 2012Sake and karaoke

J J. • February 17Very limited menu; strictly a Japanese chicken kabob place. They do a vegetarian dish (not quite vegan bc of chicken broth soup) and it’s excellent
