Absolutely fantastic food from an unassuming restaurant located in a quiet neighborhood, among the best in casual Japanese diners. Their temaki rolls are a must order, as well as their seasonal specials. We also ordered 2 mains, the miso marinated fish and yakiniku, and they taste absolutely amazing. The ambience gives off a non pretentious atmosphere, with staff being very friendly and helpful as well.
