    Made reservation for 7:15 and was seated at 8. It took awhile to get our order started and the attentiveness of the service wasn't great. We had to ask for our check multiple times and they charged us incorrectly. The cleanliness of the seating area was disappointing with food scrapes on the floor. Last time we'll be going here.

    New chef? One chef? Who knows. But while the waitstaff were as exuberant and accommodating as ever, it took forever to get our food and when the yakitori did arrive, almost every stick was overcooked.

    Great ambience, good, and service! The skewered are great quality and cooked to great consistency. The negima with wasabi and spicy wagyu were my favorites

    Very good for special occasion dinner or big get-togethers. Lots of variety and the sake selection is excellent. Only gripe is the price but it’s also the Bay Area

    Overall felt everything was a step down from prior visits: quality of food, service, cleanliness, etc. Based on our recent experience I would guess there is new management.
