“One of the most authentic Japanese restaurants you can find in South Bay at an affordable price. You won't see them California rolls or fried specialized sushi. I'd highly recommend trying premium kani chirashi, yikiniku don, and kakuni.“
“Really wanted to love this place. I like it, but the food left me not entirely satisfied. Good service and fun ambiance. Food was a bit boring to me. Prices aren't terrible for Santana Row. I'd go back, but it's not a favorite.“
“Amazing ox tail udon. Very tender. I added a poached egg to it. Broth clean and not salty. We also had chicken karaage and fried whole squid, which was also tender and flavorful. If you are into udon, this is the place to get something that is different from the others. This place gets busy so it's a good idea to get there at opening.“
“You can easily book a table online or just give the restaurant a call. Our group of four made a seamless entrance on time thanks to the reservation. They've got a diverse menu with nearly everything covered. The'Unagi Omelette 鰻魚玉子燒,' 'Yamaimo Sengiri 山藥紫蘇', and the 'Mentaiko Pasta 明太子麵' are my favorite. The beef tongue and clam soup were also delicious. If you're into Japanese food with a local casual dining feel, this place comes highly recommended! Plus, they have private booths for a more intimate family or friend gathering.“

“Amazing food as always. Cool robots that bring out your food too! I love that it serves comfort food and alcohol at the same time rather than just bar food.Parking: Parking spots are tight if you have a big vehicle and usually crowded but people come and go very quickly so you can always find a spot opening up by circling around.“
“Very happy to have discovered this spot so close to home. They have a 7-10 pm happy hour with draft suntory beer and small bites menu every weekend, so prices are quite reasonable. The standouts: The beef tongue was one of the best i've had, tender, flavourful, and you get a good amount for the price. (5/5) The grilled mochi - my gf said she would come back just for this, its a must try. (5/5) The soba panna cotta - an amazing dessert, not too sweet, great nutty notes, fun jiggly texture. (5/5) The not so good: Takowasa had some pieces that were offputtingly mushy, and was rather small - (2/5) Chicken skin was flavourless and overdone, but at least cheap. (2/5)“
“Fabulous broth in these dishes! Delightful, we stopped after seeing the evening cherry blossoms at Hakone Garden; perfect cap to the evening. ???Dietary restrictions: I eat GF and had always thought of ramen places as being about the wheat noodles? No, no: it's all about the rich broths, and you can find rice plates or order with no noodles. I went for an appetizer seafood soup with a side of rice and side of kim chi and that made a perfect meal.“
