Probably the best Japanese restaurant I've eaten at. I've been multiple times, and every dish is amazing. In particular, their broth is incredible, they do eggplant really well, and they have a great variety of unique sushis.

Took my mom for her first vegan restaurant she loved it. The wait is a little longer than I expected. Overall great food!

It was okay but with so many great places in the neighborhood I probably won’t come back. We had the Cha-ya roll and the sansai noodles. The roll was okay but the batter was quite thick, not light and fluffy like great tempura. The sauce was okay but not great. The soup was really salty. Prices are reasonable.

love love love this place so much thank u. my only really big issue is that they’re cash only and a little pricey. if they took card i would eat here every single day vegetable tempura - 10/10 standard. delicious!! they use asparagus and string beans which is not typical for veg tempura soba - 10/10 good both with or without soup! the soup has a really tasty and comforting broth. i usually add kitsune (sweet tofu pouch) to the soup soba salad - 10/10 beautiful and soooo good. makes for really impressive photos and tastes really refreshing. this is literally the only salad i’ve ever enjoyed with sliced strawberries i have to come back more to try everything else!!

Not sure if they take reservations. I've been 20+ times and never had a problem getting a table.
