Kiraku does not disappoints! Except for the line outside. Service is kind and food is delicious! Sashimi so fresh and special uni eel , loved that one. Sake tasting too. But expensive , but worth it!
A must-order are the duck pot stickers ($6) with balsamic sauce. The gyoza were golden brown and tender, and the flavor of this dish is out of the park (especially when you dunk them in the sauce). Read more

Roasted Angus beef tongue melts in your tongue . Corn tempura also delicious. Sashimi special ???? yaki udon alright / too salty. snow crab & brocollini alright.
The chef has a background in French cooking and it shows well . Try the more innovative dishes, beyond the standard Japanese items!
The waitresses are incredibly adorable and endearing. We've only been here twice and they recognized us. And didn't charge us for beers ! Plus the food is delicious. Try the foie gras + daikon !
Giant squid and beef tongue are delicious! The sauce given is also amazing
Inexpensive creative dish, the grilled fish and Uni dishes are great
Authentic Japanese place. Portions are small but tasty. This is not a sushi restaurant .
Open Wednesday - Sunday and always crowded . To make a reservation , however, your party must order alcohol and each person has to spend a minimum of $30.
The fries are a must, and we always finish the meal with the yaki udon (sautéed udon with basil sauce ) http://bit.ly/10egem6

Nice and hoppin Japanese tapas joint, good selection of sake .
Nice Japanese tapas place! If you're feeling adventurous, try the beef tongue (not the one on the skewer ).
This. Place. Rocks. Tuna Cheek Meat Steak , Corn Tempura , Jumbo Squid , Beef Tataki ????
