Great place for authentic Japanese cuisine. Tatami rooms made for a historical, fun atmosphere.

Amazing hidden gem in Cherry Creek! Food is phenomenal. My Japanese father was very happy to go and can’t wait to go back. The tempura veggies and shrimp were awesome. And the red snapper was simply delicious. The atmosphere was relaxing and cozy and the service was amazing. Staff was super attentive without being over bearing. The recommendations from the staff were also wonderful.

I really wanted to like this place. Unfortunately it did not happen. The quick and dirty. Long wait bad service, nice people. Order I thought would be traditional dishes that came out terrible and could be found at any amateur kitchen. There are other sushi restaurants in the area that unfortunately do it better. That’s not saying a lot.

We had a good experience here for my daughter’s birthday. We reserved one of the tatami tea rooms, and it was a fun experience. Her and I split the shabu shabu and it was plenty for both of us to enjoy. It was pretty bland, but the quality was good. My husband and other daughter each got ramen, which were also very large, but not as tasty as other authentic ramen we have had. Overall a good experience, but probably just a one time thing.

Book one of their tea rooms for a more authentic Japanese experience! The food was good and I would recommend trying one of the dishes that are not easy to find in Denver like Takoyaki (spherical octopus snack) or Tonkatsu (pork cutlet). Their Miso soup was the best we have ever had.

The ambiance is nice and the tea rooms are comfortable. Erina was an absolute gem as a server. However, the food is T E R R I B L E! I cannot emphasize that enough. I took one bite, spit it out and pushed my plate away. The chicken taste like leftovers and the Miso soup had a burnt aftertaste. The owner refused to comp or replace my order because “well you ordered it”. Listen to the reviews, food is not worth it.

We went here with some friends and ended up ordering so much food…with no regrets! Tried 3 different appetizers; multiple sushi trays and the chefs choice sashimi and then of course a dessert. Everything that was recommended to us by our server was delicious! Amazing food and wonderful service! We will be back!

AUTHENTIC JAPANESE cuisine!! Very good food and atmosphere – very laid back and relaxing we went with the tea room which does cost $10, but much worth it! Loved the croquettes, tempura, chicken skewers, Shabu-Shabu (getting to make it yourself was FUN!! ), also loved the tempura ice cream!!! Highly recommend this establishment and will be back again!

Wonderful experience. Service was great. Kimmie and Robert were friendly and the Food was amazing!!! Only suggestion I have is they may want to consider putting doors over the tea rooms for more privacy and slippers for customers who remove their shoes, so we can go to the other bathroom w/o having to put shoes back in. Otherwise, my wife and I had a great time for her Birthday and we will visit again! Thank You!
