Good food but very steep prices. Paid 50 a person for a filling meal. If you’re not worried about cost, the food is amazing. Would highly recommend the boats as well as the candies by the door are free for a little treat at the end. Feels very authentic as well, I would definitely eat there for diner specifically. They also can cook right in front of you, 10/10 experience .

Attention to detail here and reasonable prices. We had chef Atachi, phonetically spelled, who was a pro. He finished the meal by presenting us with small oragami figures folded by his wife.

The salmon sushi was good and aesthetically pleasing but I was not a fan of the wasabi inside the sushi. The spicy tuna with albacore was good but the spicy mayo sauce was too much for me. Not spicy, just overwhelming of a mayo taste for sushi. The sushi bar man was nice and I appreciated the Orange slice at the end. Also, hot sake is good. Try it if you can!

Always delicious and fresh. The best Sukiyaki in San Diego. A real traditional Japanese restaurant. Salmon bento has a nice variety of side dishes. The tempura is nice and has a light batter. Kaki fry (oysters) wasn’t on menu but Eric said they will make it for me. That was very nice. Excellent service.

We have been going here for more than 20 years and we keep coming back. Their “Chef’s special” is to die for! The sushi is always fresh and delicious. We have done the teppanyaki is perfect for families and groups and the chefs have been there for years and are also amazing.

Well this was a different dining experience for me. Can I recommend this place to others? Yes I can, but for reasons that are atypical. From my perspective, the strength of this establishment is actually the ambiance. Don’t get me wrong, the food was good. My favorites were the Yakitori and the Hurricane Roll. However, the @samurai92075 environment makes you feel comfortable and welcomed such that you kinda just don’t wanna leave. And that’s…Henry’s Take. @henrystake

I am honestly surprised by the great ratings. I cannot believe how much we spent for a Teppan grill for three people. My party of three paid extra for fried rice ($22.50 extra for fried rice) and we each got a meal. The party of FIVE sitting next to us ordered TWO meals to share between them and all five got the same amount of sides, shrimp, and fried rice as we did. So, I guess I don’t know how to play the game. This was our first and last time coming to this restaurant. I have to believe there are better Teppan grills in the area.
