Nestled in the Golden Gate Mall, this well-established Japanese restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with an extensive menu featuring traditional dishes, sushi, and an impressive six-page vegan selection. Guests rave about the fresh sushi, particularly the specialty rolls infused with innovative ingredients like Ahimi, a vegan tuna alternative. While the prices are on the higher side, many find the quality and service—highlighted by attentive staff and personalized attention—worth it. Despite occasional mixed service experiences, the overall atmosphere and commitment to accommodating dietary preferences make this a must-visit for both meat lovers and plant-based diners alike.

I've been doing takeout of their Wednesday evening sushi specials since Covid hit (I was having them in the restaurant before then). It's always been good, and almost always ready when predicted.

I used to visit this restaurant frequently from the late 70s to the early 80s, and occasionally during the 90s and early 2000s. I hadn't been there in about 9-10 years and was disappointed during my last visit. However, I recently heard positive reviews about the place, so I decided to give it another try. I was pleasantly surprised; everything was excellent! The sashimi was top-notch, the beef skewer was fantastic, and the dumplings were tasty. My pork katsu entree was outstanding. While the wine selection was somewhat limited, they had a wonderful California Sauvignon Blanc, which is one of my favorites. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience.
