The server was super rude. She was not polite enough to clear the questions related to food I had some allergies. Food is little on expensive side taste was not great.

Fantastic Curry, Sushi, Soup, and Salad. Could not ask for any more, only wish it was closer! Fantastic service and decent parking availability. Kinda surprised it wasn't more popular during our visit

I really want to leave this place a good review, but the kitchen and service was soo backed up that as one person, it took 2.5 hrs to eat. Then waited for the check for 20 min. Kind people, but took way too long

I have lived in Japan and it has been so hard to find authentic Japanese food but look no further for this place is as real as it gets. I was so nostalgic during dinner, they bring out miso soup and salad as a complimentary starter. In order the Mt Fuji roll which was divine! I also ordered the tempura dinner and it was delicious! Great portions and even better taste! I will recommend this location to everyone who wants authentic Japanese cuisine!

The vegan lobster rolls were good but it did leave my stomach w a sharp pain afterwards. Customer service was awful though. I asked if Tom Yum soup was available (Which is available in other Japanese restaurants, especially when I actually was in Japan) & the daughter of the owner caught an attitude giving me every bit of info besides what i asked about just to state that they do usually sell it in other Japanese restaurants, just insulting my intelligence unprovoked :/ . Before that we came an hour before closing & she rushed us to order saying “ We’re about to close, what do you want? “ food was great though i will not knock that but she needs to fix the tude!!!
