Can you tell I love sashimi?
Been coming to this place with my family for years, and I’ll continue to call this place a second home. The vibe is reminiscent of a Tokyo Izakaya, and the food is incredibly diverse and fresh.
The chirashi deluxe has always been my favorite (clearly), but they do an amazing Champon Noodle, great value bentos, rice bowls, and appetizers. The owner is incredibly kind and welcoming. An amazing all-rounder restaurant perfect for dinners of all kinds.
*Each photo of chirashi is from a different visit!

I pop in once in a while, and I always like to switch up my order. I’ve tried their Izakaya Original Champon, their Japanese Katsu Curry Rice, and, of course, they have a huge menu of sushi rolls—I’ve honestly enjoyed everything so far. The staff is usually pretty attentive, which is definitely a nice bonus.

It’s like a dive bar & a Japanese spot had a kid. The service is amazing, no frills type of joint. Food was amazing, can’t go wrong with anything you order here. Got the chicken teriyaki as a app (even though I don’t like thigh meat, this was delicious), lion king is my favorite roll here and don’t skip the Yaki Udon.

Food acceptable. Beef tongue was overcooked like crazy to the point of being crunchy from the char. Hamachi kama was perfectly cooked though.
Service could be better. My water cup along with my friends were clearly empty and they never offered to refill at all.
I tipped them fairly at 15% as my dinner service did not deserve the standard 18% their receipt asks for. Will probably not return again.

This place has good potential! But I feel like they need more servers. I went to take out some family visiting and we had to ask for cups 3 times for water. The food was such a long wait that we just had to cancel for the rest and got our check. I honestly felt bad for the servers as we only saw 2. It seemed like they kinda prioritized the bigger groups upstairs more. There was people waiting for a table and left cus they never got seated. I get that they are busy but have more workers for your costumers

Good not great Japanese food. We liked the Crazy Monkey roll, which was pretty big and came cut in 8 pieces. The chicken katsu curry was solid too, as was the buta nasu, though that had a lot more onion in it than I was expecting. It was packed on a Thursday night with beer towers flowing. Servers were really busy.

The food is delicious. The edamame is great, which is not always the case in other restaurants. Order it unsalted. I don’t mind salt, but the default level of salt on them is too much for me. Other than that it’s a great restaurant.
(Although there is a Mini with the Union Jack design on the wall that is driving on the wrong side of the road.)

Had dinner at Izakaya Mai and really enjoyed it! It’s a cozy, casual spot with a huge menu and a casual vibe. Service was friendly and efficient.

I would give this place a 3.5 – it was pretty good food/not bad but nothing special and execution could be better. We ordered a bunch of food. Miso fish was probably the best dish. The croquettes were pretty good. The agedashi tofu was okay, chicken karage was just okay.
