“Great service, food was delish. Chef made special sushi dish ( not on the menu) that was FIRE! My new to go place.❤️❤️❤️“

“Came for a sat lunch. A bit busy. Only one server but she was very nice and polite.Food is excellent. Great flavors. We got the pork katsu and beef tongue. Really good.Fish roe over rice and uni also very tasty. The uni flan is more a Japanese influence French cuisine. My wife liked it but it just ok for me. Chicken karake also very good, crispy and tender while not being hard with good flavors.Would visit again and maybe try dinner as they have an extended menu“

“Wonderful kaiseki meal incorporating sakuras in the cuisine. Traditional Japanese cuisine reminiscent of what you would get at an authentic place in Kyoto. Loved the flow of the meal and the different textures of the cuisines. A5 Hokkaido Wagyu was excellent! Definitely recommend and will come back!“

“Excellent food and service! Variety of raw, steamed, grilled dishes and the waygu sukiyaki was excellent.The neighboring table was noisy. Foreigners who speak loudly in an otherwise quiet setting. Otherwise the atmosphere was great.Will come back again.“

“Great place For the best sushi in the Bay Area.“

“Hidden low key place in Redwood City where you can get good chicken teriyaki.- Big portions- Awesome service- Consistent- teriyaki chicken comes with skin perfectly crisped and sauced. YumAlso- The lady inside is soooo so so incredibly sweet and friendly.“

“This place rocked! We both got the special bento for $32 pp (+ tax/tip) and got a surprisingly delicious combination of various Japanese classics. I found everything was above the mark for expectation. The teriyaki beef was particularly impressive, as it was tender and cooked medium rare - something I've never seen before at this pricepoint or even close to it. The sushi was solid, particularly the white fish, and the tempura was also tasty. Not only was the food great, but I swear it all was served in ~5 min from ordering. I don't know how they do it, but they're on fire!“
