We had reservations and it got pretty crowded on Saturday evening. They have a happy hour from 5-6pm and then 8pm -closing. You get 20% off certain items. We ordered mixed tempura, yakitori, karaage chicken, nasu miso, and other dishes. It was tasty and food came out fast. They have a big menu with sushi, sashimi and combination dinners. The tempura, yakitori, karaage chicken was very good. The nasu miso was okay. I took the nasu miso home and it was better the next day as the flavors had time to meld. Will definitely go back. Reservations recommended.

Extensive menu and surprisingly good service. My family and I came at opening and was able to get seated quickly. The restaurant was massive and I could see it being a fun spot to meet up with a large group of friends to eat and drink. Happy hour goes from 5-6PM with 20% off drinks and some discounted items. We were able to get a crunchy roll off the HH menu for $10. We also ordered a soba, udon, and handful of yakitori. Everything came out quickly and was pretty yummy. My 2 year old son devoured his udon. The yakitori was very similar to what you would find at Honda-ya (not sure if they’re the same owners). Overall, it was a really nice night out with good food. If you are close to the Brea area, I recommend skipping the wait at Honda-ya and coming here instead. No wait, more space, better service, and decent food.

This is the most authentic Japanese establishment I’ve ever been in. Not only is the decor amazingly traditional it is also beautiful and Nostalgic of the Japanese culture. The owners Tak and Yumi do a wonderful job and have a great kitchen team from cooks to Server’s all the way down tonits dishwashers. The food is absolutely amazing, and even when busy the staff manages to get the food from the kitchen to your table in a efficient time. I would highly reccomended this establishment if you are looking to seek a nice date night or for a night out after a baseball game with your buddies or even a family night. Thank you for wonderful food and service. Dont forget to try the Sorbet desserts served in a pineapple or a Orange or perhaps even the Macha Tiramisu or Macha cheesecake. I will be coming back in the future and recommending it to anyone who asks for a great local restaurant eatery. Thank you Tak and Yumi.

Got back here after a year, and their service gets worse. They served me the sashimi without utensils. The second server put the second dishes on my table and left so quickly, I did not have a chance to ask them. Hard to find a server to ask for utensils; my food was getting cold. The skewers I ordered were’t good; I think they left them at the counter for a while until the server had a time to bring them to my table. Bill was $125 for 2 people, it’s not worth it. Disappointed!

After a long Disneyland day, my friends and I wanted some Japanese food. Izakaya Takasei gave us that fix! The restaurant itself was clean and offered a tatami style dining experience but our legs were too sore to do that. Would love to come back and do it! The staff were attentive and made sure to greet every customer that came in.

The food here is the perfect combination; inexpensive and delicious. I have yet to ever go to a play with more delicious Japanese food full stop. The fact that it’s super affordable is absurd.

Food menu is varied and seems authentic. The atmosphere is wonderful and definitely seems authentic. The staff is friendly and charming (based on a sample of 1 waitress). Food itself was good too, though I picked something basic so I guess I don’t actually know if everything is good. Free hot roasted green tea though is amazing, never seen that before. And sitting on mats with short tables like in real Japan is neat too, though we sat at the regular booths.
