Decided to eat at this restaurant, and was highly impressed with the serving sizes, and extremely nice staff. Ordered the chicken katsu, and loved the dish for the nice crisp, flavor, and not too salty. As aforementioned, the staff were quite personal, and frequently checking on us, attending to other patrons. Would highly recommend this place!

It's a very nice cozy place for some Japanese dishes and sushi. I highly recommend their clam ramen as it is a very unique dish that is special to this restaurant. For this dish they serve you a ridiculously large amount of clams in a bowl of heavenly, savory ramen broth with strong hints of ginger. As for the sushi rolls, nothing really stands out from the sushi but that's not a bad thing considering all the other amazing items on the menu. Such as their dinner plates. For example their Fried mackerel really hits the spot with its crispy exterior, soft fluffy interior, and generous side of peas and bean sprouts and comes with miso soup too. They also offer a large variety of combo trays for sushi that would easily serve and satisfy large parties. Lastly I would also recommend their dozen oysters, that come with topped with fish eggs along with optional Japanese sauce (forgot the name) and lemon.

As for the staff, the chef is always greeting and saying goodbye to everyone from his cook station near the front of house and is a very lovable man. The waiters and waitresses are extremely attentive and friendly too. I'm very glad I found this place. Would highly recommend, a true San Francisco gem.

Love the food here. Freshly made and delicious. Wonderful staff and knowledgeable. Soft Shell is a must try. Sashimi is fresh and good flavor.
New special: 2 lobster tails and scallops in garlic butter.

Kitchen noise weirdly echoes into the front room, sounds louder than if you were standing next to the line. Got the Okazu Ya teishoku which I figured should be the right choice if they put their name on it; nooooope. It had scallops (fried, with a double batter crust that would put hush puppies in New Orleans to shame for thickness), sashimi (pretty decent), tempura (again double battered and I couldn’t finish it because I couldn’t taste what was under the batter and the oil was starting to be all I could taste) and a little salad with a dressing that sort of reminded me of crab Louie. I am lactose intolerant and am a bit scared about how that salad dressing will go down. Overall not what I expected or was hungry for. Interior of the restaurant was also weirdly dirty, which doesn’t make sense to me for a Japanese place? Overall I cannot recommend the food but the service was top notch and was very warm and attentive.

The food is great, service is not good. We ask at 5 times for a cup of water. Ask for napkins but never come. I need to walk to the counter to get napkins for myself. I probably will get to go instead dine in .
