This restaurant offers a great overall experience. The food sets are well put together, with balanced portions that are satisfying without feeling too heavy. Prices are very reasonable. The desserts made by the owner are especially delicious and a pleasant surprise. The restaurant is clean and comfortable, and the staff are friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back and recommend it to others.

This is my fifth time being here. The food is amazing! I love the Tuna Bowl, sashimi, and sushi here. The fish they use are very fresh. My bf loves their tempura. Also, their homemade dessert is so delicious!

This is the most legitimately OG sushi experience I’ve had in a while. This place is so authentic my waitress poked fun at me for grabbing the wrong dish for my soy sauce haha
However, the service is fast, professional, very warm and friendly really just feel feels like I’m eating with my aunts & uncles. Chef did an excellent job with all of my rolls & nigiri even made me a custom vegetable mani roll upon request.
The pricing is fair. Everything was super fresh and absolutely delicious. Highly recommend coming to to enjoy their lunch menu!

In my opinion this is the best Japanese restaurant in OC! Great food and great service!
– Kisu Tempura and Maitake tempura is my favorite. It’s really hard to find fish tempura and especially good ones around here, their kisu tempura is beyond my expectations. Served at the right temperature keeps the coating crispy and fish soft. Maitake tempura is very juicy and retains all the mushroom flavor.
– The fire grilled king mackerel is also cooked to perfection, the surface is grilled to be dry and smoky flavor but kept all the moisture and oils for the meat.
– Simmered Kinki fish is seasoned well, sweetness and saltiness has a great balance. Also comes with a tofu soaked and cooked in the fish broth which is a big plus.
Will definitely come back soon!

I’d been wanting to try this spot for so long, and it was worth the wait! The Agedashi Tofu and Grilled Pacific Saury were perfect with cold sake, and the sushi was so fresh. The Seared Engawa was a standout — honestly one of the best I’ve had outside of Japan. Finished with the matcha pudding, which was the perfect ending. Staff were so kind and welcoming, and even dining alone I felt completely comfortable. Very authentic Japanese food — I’ll definitely be back!

Stopped in on a cold rainy day craving Japanese soup, and was drawn to trying this place after seeing photos of the food and reading some of the reviews. I had the Inaniwa Udon, the Ginger Eggplant, the Negi Toro Roll, the Basque Cheesecake, the Matcha Panna Cotta and some warm sake. My eyes were bigger than my stomach and I took the rest of the udon to go. The service was excellent. I enjoyed sitting at the bar, and all of the staff were very kind, polite and accommodating. They even let me charge my phone when it died so I could take an uber after. All the guests seemed to enjoy themselves and very appreciative, the atmosphere was great and relaxed. All tasted very delicious, and I am not sure I could pick a favorite. I would say the cheesecake and the Udon tasted better than in most restaurants, and I had not tried eggplant ginger before which was recommended and I loved. I was delighted there was so much Udon so I could have more later. I will definitely come here again when I am in

Hands down this is the best Japanese restaurant stateside! Highly recommend going here, you won’t regret it!
They have the best homemade Japanese food and sushi! The flavors here are so authentic and umami! Having lived in Japan for more than two years, this is one of the few spots in the US that truly does have that delicious, homemade Japanese taste.
Let’s start with the sushi, which is super fresh and amazing. The menu has a huge selection and we loved everything we had (which was most of the menu). Our absolute favorite was the Uni Hand-roll. The freshness of the uni combined with the shiso leaf delicately wrapped with seaweed was orgasmic! We literally had to order another round because they were just that scrumptious.
The cooked food is amazing as welll! We usually start with a Spinach Salad. While the salad looks deceptively simple it packs huge, umami flavor. The dressing combined with the bits of bacon and the greens themselves make the perfect combination of light and dark flavors.
Next is the Crab Croquet. So deliciously creamy with lots of crab inside. You won’t regret ordering this appetizer for sure!
The Agedashi Tofu is also very yummy if you’re looking for a light and refreshing appetizer.
For the entrees, they have the #1 eel box I’ve had in the US. It is super, delicious! The eel is perfectly grilled and the sauce is divine. The portion size is substantial as well, if you’re looking for something heavier.
The Duck Nanban Soba’s broth is so savory and addicting. The Duck itself was tender and delicious. This soba was so good, the bowl was literally empty before I knew it!
The Simmered Black Cod was phenomenal as well. Tender, savory and mind-blowing good. Even if you’re not into fish, you’ll probably love this dish!
The Fire-Grilled Mackerel was also an explosion of deliciousness and one to add to the must-try list!
For dessert, the Cheesecake was bomb, but the Matcha Panna Cotta was the winner for us. It was so creamy, smooth, and tasty. The matcha flavor was perfectly sweet and not bitter at all. The perfect way to end a perfect meal!
Honestly, you can’t go wrong ordering anything from the menu. Everything is so fresh and delicious and you can tell they put a lot of effort into making each bite something to remember.
Not to mention, the staff is so friendly and attentive. The owner, Zuke, is awesome and definitely cares about running a welcoming and top-notch establishment.
Overall: 10 Stars!! Go here if you want amazing Japanese food. You won’t regret it!

Had an excellent experience here! The food is soooo delicious, and the staffs are super friendly and warm. I will recommend all the food! Wanna point out that I ordered basque cheesecake but got surprised with complimentary dessert samples. Every single one was amazing and will say that they are the best dessert I had in Orange County! Definitely coming back soon

Went for the 1st time tonight as a group of 4. The food was delicious. We got a pitcher of Sapporo at a great price. I got the chicken thighs a meal combo w white rice, soup, and a sea weed side that was yummy. We also had some sushi rolls that were very good along with some Toro that melted in your mouth. Our friend had the yellow tail cheek and loved it. The staff was very attentive. The owner overheard us talking about a birthday in our group and he brought out a delicious piece of cheesecake that he made himself. It was a wonderful experience in a nice locally owned restaurant. Very affordable as well. Go check it out.

Delicious, authentic Japanese food in a cozy setting. Staff is so friendly and accommodating. Been coming here for years and I’ve never had anything less than a perfect experience. Their sushi is top-notch but you can try anything on the menu and you will be blown away. Don’t skip out on dessert, either! Their pastry chef Zuke makes an incredible basque cheesecake and some of the best panna cotta I’ve ever had
