Just came back here after 4 years! Supa tuna don still my favorite! But literally all the foods here is good. And have a great atmosphere for hang out and catch up with friends!

Food is always good and not too expensive here, it’s very dependable in that way. Service is great as well, especially for how busy and cramped it can be. In terms of atmosphere, it’s lively, fun, and loud which I love, but sometimes they seat people way too close to each other and we had no room at all with the 6 people we had. They added 2 chairs on one end of a 4 person seat and one of my friends was barely able to eat on the table.
All in all I recommend this place because it’s classic and delicious but unless you get that one table at the front, the back in quite crowded for a sizable group. 1-4 people I think is ideal.

I really wanted to like this place, but the food was a major letdown. I came specifically for the yakitori, so I can’t speak to the rest of the menu, but what I ordered was disappointing. The chicken skin was soggy instead of crisp, the beef was tough and difficult to eat, and the garlic was served unpeeled. After a few bites, I left the meal mostly untouched. I get that the restaurant caters to a student crowd, but I was hoping for better quality. On the positive side, the atmosphere is nice and the staff is genuinely friendly.

I love this restaurant. It has been over 15 years since I ate here last. But this place is as great as I remembered.

It has been 18 years since I have visited this amazing place last time.
It has not been changed a bit, the atmosphere, quality of food and everything which made me almost cried when I tasted the food today.
I have so much of great memories with good people at this place when I lived in NY.
I feel so grateful that this place is still there.
And I was very glad that I could come to this place with my 10 years old son.
I really really wish I can come here with my family again!

I have been here twice, but I can say that I enjoyed coming here and trying out the dishes. My most recent visit was on the weekends, and I tried the Oh! Taisho w/ Miso Soup and for dessert: Pudding with ice cream.
The servers were thoughtful in providing a glass of water before I ordered, checking in to see if I was ready to order, and letting me know there are hooks under the table that I can hang my bag. It also has Japanese music playing in the background.
The Oh! Taisho Don tastes fresh, hot and crispy though a little over seasoned, to compensate the flavor, I had Sprite soda to go along with my meal so that helped me to enjoy the meal more, especially the pickled daikon. There is a dessert menu, even though it’s not given, you can politely ask for the menu if you’d like to see. I saw on the dessert menu, there are parfaits (100% I want to try it next time).
The time I came in, it was during the weekends and, boy was it busy. So if you are coming in as a large group, be considerate of the space especially if you’re carrying a huge bag or jacket (depending on where you are being seated). Don’t expect it to be quiet, because it can get busy and noisy when the restaurant gets busy.
Overall, I do not mind coming by again to try the other dishes at a much calmer time, when I can.

Very good selection of yakitori, loved the pork belly, chicken. Chicken skins should be a bit crispier, chicken hearts needed seasoning. The interior really felt like a spot in Japan, it is tight and cozy.

Food overall is pretty good and priced reasonably. I really like their udon, but the cream was not mixed well enough so some part is a little bland. Their fried food is not greasy. The egg, tofu, and eel is pretty good as well. For yakitori, I think everything is well-seasoned, except for the sausage that was quite salty. The place is quite small, but was not very crowded when we were there.

I used to love this place; it was my favorite spot for a good meal. However, I’ve noticed that the food taste has changed a bit recently. Specifically, the kimchi udon, which used to be a standout dish for me, doesn’t have the same flavor it once did. It feels like something is missing.
On a positive note, the fries are still a must-have! They’re crispy and seasoned perfectly, making them a great side to any meal. I hope the kimchi udon gets back to its original deliciousness soon, as I’d love to enjoy my favorite dish again. Overall, it’s worth a visit for the fries, but I hope they can recapture what made the other dishes so special.

Solid shop, I would say the dishes that are non yakitori could have some work in terms of quality but it was still fully satisfying to eat and I thought that the meal was good. The skewers is what makes this place stand out, and I would say that’s what you should order. The grilled pork skewer was good – I do kind of wish the meat portion was bigger but they did give a lot of sides in the bento.
