Love this place: favs are salmon carpaccio , pork belly salad , agadashi tofu , shrimp tempura , gyoza , cuke salad to name a few things.
Uni with soft boiled egg , grilled yellowtail collar, crispy rice balls were standouts. Be warned: huge portions for izakaya .
The grill here is awesome. It's fueled by wood charcoal and adds amazing flavor to anything cooked on it. It also helps that they cook everything perfectly! Korean BBQ and Pork belly are the best :-)
Almost everything is great here. Start with clam ramen , crispy onigiri , and sushi salad .
Pork Kimchi Ramen , Pork Ramen , Uncommon specialties
Curry Rice with Cheese and Stir Fry Yakisoba ! Great Japanese food but extremely poor service.
Awesome pork and kimchee ramen !
All of our food was served at different times. The food was standard and the service was terrible. When we got the bill, they wrote in a 40% tip themselves without even telling us before hand.
Get the ramen here! Kimchi/pork ramen (off menu ) and clam ramen .
Berkshire pork bowl is the best! Make sure you mix in the egg with the rice -- super yummy
Spicy karaage , salmon clay pot , okonomiyaki were all disappointing. Only good thing was the yaki onigiri .
Definitely make a reservation even if you plan to arrive before they open. According to waiter , they are not affiliated with Tanto, the restaurant that used to be at this location.
Tako salad is good!!! (May need to ask for it since it may not be in the menu)
So good! Skip the sushi rolls though
Get the yaki onigiri ! So delicious
Make a reservation ! This place gets packed!
Garlic steak , agedashi tofu , sashimi salad , clam ramen , yaki onigiri
Seriously, make a reservation . They ran out of uni at 8:30 on a Sunday night. That was unfortunate...
Seaweed And Vegetables was good!
Formerly Tanto. Menu is pretty much the same. Asari Ramen & Kuro-Buta-Meshi are delish!
grilled whole squid & clam ramen
Service was kind of meh. Since they were already billing a tip (18% for a party of 5+), they neglected us and only came by with the bill (they even skipped two of our orders).
Great food.
Salmon skin roll , fried oyster , onigiri .
Ramen with clams at lunch time. Delicate butter and sea salt broth.
The yakitori here is great, order a bunch and a couple sides of rice, but make sure to check the specials! Some of the best skewers (pork-belly wrapped items) are hiding there... - Tom McGhan
Special chirashi bowl is a good thing to get if you're willing to spend the money ($15). If not, the katsu don is really good too! The 'super bomb roll' is a really good spicy tuna roll. Gotta try! - Adrian Chen
The spicy miso broth is awesome, you can always ask for extra spice on the side for extra extra spicy and dont forget the garlic on each table. The sauces are yummy and the meats are grrreeeat! - Jacqueline O.
The fresh fish for sushi section is awesome. Check out the uni. - Rei Alexandra Aoyama
Good customer service. For such a big store, they're really on top of it! - Nicole Goddard
Hands down the best boba you'll find in the South Bay. Definitely get a lychee drink--they'll add some fresh lychee pieces to your drink. - Alex Tsu
