J KJuly 1, 2017kushi-agi - deep fried panko (bread crumb) covered specialities. Ask for the Yakitori, not listed on the menu, but a secret favorite of the locals. - Linda Cahil
Dave JensenMarch 22, 2017They have a great bento box. Surprisingly most of their neighbors don't have a bento box. One caveat, the tonkatsu was a little overcooked the first time I tried it.
Jared FranciscoMarch 20, 2012The kitchen is really fast! Sometimes it gets really busy and the waitress/waiters get swamped, but that's understandable. Pretty good food! Try the Katsu don if you are hungry.Upvoted Sep 29- Try the California Bento Box - Fried white fish, grilled teriyaki chicken, tossed green salad, rice, maguro sashimi & California sushi. Delish!
Andy LuttrellAugust 10, 2013They have a full vegetarian menu, and the oshinki roll and fried eggplant starter were great. Veggie udon bowl was undersalted, though.
Pamela SMarch 3, 2013Portions large. Order one less roll than you think. Service fast and awesome. Get fiery island roll - was really good
Joe MurrayJune 11, 2011Had a beautiful, light, crisp ramen. Could have used another piece of pork. Service was prompt, friendly, helpful for our early before 6pm dinner. Better than Mifune next door.
Kirsten CeaserAugust 15, 2017While the food was good, the giant bug I had to kill with my water glass and the mouse I saw running out as I was leaving really took away from the enjoyment.
SkylitupApril 30, 2013Numerous vegetarian menu items, including veggie soba and udon with seaweed broth.
Sara GarevichOctober 17, 2011Beware the waitress with super short hair ! She's so rude. All of the other waiters are sweet, and the food is great.- Christine WardDecember 13, 2010Some of the best (and most generous) uni nigiri sushi I've had. Service was meh, but that could have just been our waitress.
Sung ChoeDecember 31, 2016Well, I didn't expect to experience the worst Japanese cooking I have ever tasted at the Japantown, but I did. I ordered chirashi sushi, and it was simply terrible.
Tad MorganJanuary 29, 2011Ramen pretty light on toppings: 1 tinyl piece of meat & seaweed, few bamboo shoots, etc.
Nathan SorensonAugust 26, 2012Just finished "eating" there. The service was absolutely terrible here. Slow,rude, are only just a few words to discernible this place. The food was terrible, didn't finish eating it.
AngelaAugust 18, 2012Ordered a nabemono and they gave me the wrong item. Waiter delivered the right order later cooked in nothing but plain water!

"Japanese crepe has green tea ice cream, red beans, and macha sauce. Delicious! Make sure you add ice cream to any crepe you get. You need to balance out the dry crispy crepe with something creamy"
