My son and I had a wonderful dinner. The owners were very nice and shared stories. The atmosphere was very warm. It was a fun evening. We even got as a present a T shirt, which was very kind of the chef.The food is very good and at reasonable prices.Thank you for a great experience.
Proper Japanese food! This place is owned by the most welcoming owner we've ever met. Sashimi was fresh and delicious - they definitely take pride in the food they're serving.If you're after some quality real Japanese food, this is your place.
The sushi boats are actual floating boats! It was fun to have dinner served to us on a floating boat. Fun place but a little run down. Sushi was decent and service was a bit slow otherwise did hit the spot.
I'm so glad I stopped by this place! It was late on a Sunday night ~9PM and this was the only sushi place open. The service was a little bit slow but the food came out in a reasonable amount of time. The sushi chef was so kind and welcoming and talked to us for a minute when he served us our rolls.I believe I ordered the Sakura Deluxe and the Sukura Special #4 roll and both were fresh and had big chunks of fish. I could tell they made the spicy tuna in house and it tasted amazing with just the right amount of spice. The tempura sauce was warm when they served it and the miso soup was not too salty. Overall very good experience and food!
AMAZING experience first time. The owners are so welcoming it felt like being home with my family. Amazing food, and affordable for the area. Fresh sushi and great options to try from. Definitely will be back for more. Great thanks to Jaido and Kozu (I hope I’m not butchering their names too much)
P dank japanese restaurant, generous portions and great prices. The service is understandably slower because it's only the two owners running the entire shop. But in the end it was totally worth it! Swing by if you have the time!
This is my favorite restaurant. I grew up in Monterey and have been coming here off and on for 20 years. The quality of fish is EXCELLENT. The owner (Keiko) and chef (Kazu) are two of the kindest, most wonderful people I've ever met. They will come chat, really care about what you want to eat, and are just generally wonderful. The atmosphere feels almost stereotypically Okinawan, like Kill Bill. As it's usually just Kazu and Keiko, the service is NOT FAST. Be ready to wait 45 minutes for your food AND to thoroughly believe that it was totally worth it. This is a place to sit, chat, have some tea, beer, or sake, eat AMAZINGLY good fish (that Kazu picks from the local markets personally) and generally have a wonderful time.
Cute, charming restaurant run by an older Japanese couple. Interior is much cuter than Crystal Fish next door. They were incredibly sweet and sushi was fresh and delicious! Try the scallop sushi and hot tea. My fiancé got the vegetable tempura and also really enjoyed it.
One of the best sushi dinners I've ever had. Quality ingredients with master level cooking. I couldn't recommend more.
Liked the experience. Run by an older couple, the food was at their pace. The entrance looks a bit neglected, and the interior needs cleaning. Walls too.The potstickers were very soft wrapping but delicious gingery pork inside. The tempura had a very thick coating that was not crisp. The combinations have value. My chicken teriyaki tasted like fish though. Everyone else at the table enjoyed their grilled salted mackerel, tuna roll, spicy tuna roll, and California roll were tasty.
