The service was excellent, but the food was just OK.
Great food and very friendly wait staff made for a great experience. The blow torched mackerel is a must try item on the menu. The grilled miso salmon was yummy too.
Absolutely delicious. High quality authentic bento boxes for take out and great atmosphere for dine in.
Authentic down-home Japanese cuisine. Not your run-of-the-mill food. The quality and presentation are excellent and tasty at an affordable price point. This place reminds me that typical Japanese food is not just sushi and chicken skewers, but widely varied and fresh. A unique and friendly place in Santa Monica. Vegetarian options: Seaweed, mountain vegetables and vegan fare is plentiful.
Wow! We had no idea what to expect and were really impressed with the incredible flavors- the torched mackerel, eggplant, and gobo appetizers were amazing! Highly recommend the pork belly entree and Pannacotta dessert - the service, and the prices. We will absolutely be back!

The quality of food and service is good but the prices do not justify the amount of food you get. I would come back if the quantity of food increased.
