One of the original Japanese restaurants in the Capital District. The original owners, Mari and her husband have retired and it has been taken over by new owners who have maintained the quality of their food. The main waitstaff, Bristley (?) is the best.

A cute little place with very good quality food. The tempura was crisp and delicious with fresh seasonal ingredients. My only criticism is that there were very limited drink and dessert options (there was no tea and only basic ice cream and mousse were available for dessert)

I tried this place for lunch for the first time and it wasn’t much to look at from the outside and was okay on the inside. The service was very good the woman who helped me out was friendly. But the food was just not even close to good. I got three rolls (spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and the fire roll) $27 total and was not worth a single penny. I had to force myself to eat it since I had already paid and had nothing else to eat. I will not be going here again. I’ve had a lot of sushi and it is my favorite thing to eat and this was worse than grocery store sushi.

You know it’s bad when your favorite part about the ramen is the corn…
Very much underwhelmed. The pork broth was almost flavorless. And I don’t think I’ve ever had Raman where the egg was unseasoned. They just put half of a boiled egg. The noodles were overcooked. The Ramen comes with an order of California rolls. Whatever seaweed they use to wrap the rolls, doesn’t feel right. I don’t know if it’s cheap or just the brand. But it was not good.

Pork katsu lunch box is not bad. Sushi sashimi box and seafood tempura box are disappointing. Portion is small. Seafood tempura has several pieces of vegetable tempura.

Not very pleased. 2nd time trying this place because my wife wanted me to try it. I guess there’s a nostalgic connection with the history of the place and the name that has kept them open this long but to my understanding it’s not the same. All that aside, I don’t mind paying for good food. The food wasn’t bad but it wasn’t exceptional considering I just ate at Neon sushi the night before and had the exact same 2 rolls. Night and day!! Where’s the fish?! The rolls were not only tiny, they had a sliver of tuna and salmon. Half the size of the one’s at Neon for more money! Come on.. money is not what it used to be and you need to stay competitive. I was so disappointed. This place is a very cute bistro type environment. Good vibe but not worth it. I hope they go to their competitors and shop around so they can improve. Unfortunately, I’ll never find out.

Absolutely the worst Japanese dinner! I used to have lunch at this place a few years ago and it was not bad. First time having dinner here, I came with high expectations. It turned out to be very disappointing- the portion was very small and the food was poorly prepared. I asked the waitress if it’s still the same owner, and she said yes. Unbelievable!

I was just visiting with my girlfriend, she told me about this place. So why not, let me give a shot. Which I did and it was so amazing and the food as well. It’s not that expensive, you get big meal for good price. I had the spicy Ramon and it okay spicy but the food was so good.

Soup is a little salty. Authentic Japanese. Definitely worth exploring more. Great values in lunch menu 🙂
