Amazing atmosphere, incredible fresh food. Family owned, the grandparents keep the food as traditional as possible and you can taste it! Hands down the best Japanese food I have ever had. Definitely get a reservation! View all feedback.

Excellent hidden gem. Wonderful Japanese food in a small friendly atmosphere. I had the sukiyaki which was made at the table it was very tasty.

I haven't been there in years. However, every time I went there I felt like family. Kay and family are amazing. Well deserved retirement. Miss you Kay. Even after you get me drunk on sake.
