This place is good for trying a bit of everything of Japanese cuisine, especially since the pricing is good. I'd come here if you want to try experimenting with other types of Japanese food. Every Japanese restaurant has ramen or some sort of rice bowl. You come here to try the other side of Japanese food because most likely they'll have it somewhere on their menu. If you don't see it you can always ask them and see if they can make it- which is why I love this place.\n\nWhen you come at night, the ambiance is very authentic to a japanese izakaya (which is like a tapas place). It's busy, it's loud, an all Japanese speaking staff, and then there's the overwhelming amount of menus all over the walls. It reminded me very much of Japan! (For the record, I used to live in Japan.) It's a fun place to bring your friends, drink a few beers, and order a little bit of everything.\n\nLunch time is my favorite time to come eat here. Service and the food is always good. \nThey even have lunch specials in which you get a choice between 2 chef choice meals or you can order a bento box type meal.\n\nService during busy weekend nights can be iffy. Sometimes can be inattentive but not always the case. Reason why I gave 4 star and not 5. If I could, I'd rate a solid 4.5\n\nRecommendations: Daily specials are usually promising, Ramen Dx, yakisoba, honey toast, and if you're daring takowasa (raw octopus in wasabi)\n\nTips:\n-Make a reservation 2 hours beforehand\n- parking on the weekends is horrible, come early to your reservation\n -sign up with them for their membership you get 5% every $20 purchase and when the stamp card is filled you get 10% every visit.
