One of the top Japanese spots in the East Bay, I vainly refused to eat here for years because they had a wire hanging across the K of their sign and I figured if they didn't have the wherewithal to correct that how could they possibly provide me with delicious sushi. Fast forward years later, they remove the wire I ate there, and it was wonderful. Super Fresh sushi and sashimi, and my favorite, something I did not even know existed, tofu custard. A little bit on the pricey side, but a great place to visit when you want to take somebody out for a special date

Fabulous broth on Sukiaki and Nabeyaki Udon, delicious seafood pot stickers. Most importantly: great service! The owner is so chic, gracious and beautiful! All waiters were so kind and fun! We will be back!

I haven't found a downside to this place. Yes, a line forms but it's not too crazy. I've arrived right at five and got a seat immediately. Arriving around seven will cause a little bit of a wait, but there's a bar and they serve food off the robata. I've tried almost everything and highly recommend the spider roll, squid off the robata (order two if your with someone, because sharing its NOT an option), blackened cod (recommended by the waitress and now will always be on the order), and the wagyu beef is cooked to perfection. Not heavily seasoned and automatically cooked to medium rare.

Came here on a Wednesday night and the place was packed. Luckily, despite the full house we only waited for about 10 minutes before we got our table. Once seated we ordered a whole bunch of stuff. Everything was pretty tasty, except for the Japanese salad which is not my favorite. Also everything was rather small in portion, if it weren't for the udon, I would have definitely needed more food. All in all, it was a good meal and the food was yummy. I just need to order more food next time to make sure I don't leave hungry. Lol...
