Went there for lunch on Saturday around noon. Not busy, and no wait. Staff greeted and sat us promptly. Chose this restaurant because it was a mainstay during my high school days and into early adulthood. Surprisingly, it's still here! That is a testament to the quality of food, the atmosphere, and the great value.You can get bento boxes for under $15.00, and there's definitely enough food to fill you up. From what I recall,my bento was called the Akagi California. It's comprised of rice ?, miso soup, vegetable & shrimp? tempura, 3-piece California roll, and choice of one of the following in chicken katsu, 3-piece tuna sashimi ?, tonkatsu, or chicken teriyaki. I chose the chicken katsu. I was hungry, and I still had leftovers for a doggie bag to bring home.My spouse and I shared a tuna ad hamachi sashimi. We also had cold sake, and a large Asahi ?.The cuts of sashimi are different if you order it as a dish or as part of the bento ?. The quality of the cuts are superior when ordered separately as an appetizer or side. The cuts melt in your mouth as a separate order, where the cuts as part of the bento are harder to chew.We had a great experience with the staff, and the food was satisfying. Even when dining in, the food came served in a plastic to-go container, which I found fascinating and intuitive. If you're looking for a fine-dining experience, this is not the place. If you want quality japanese food, great value, and a place that wouldn't necessarily be a place to impress a date, then this is the place to go.
I love to eat at this restaurant! This place has really good food at very reasonable prices.I usually get the deluxe bento meal where you can choose three options and I always have leftovers from the meal.I haven't tried the sushi yet here, but the prices for them look really great and looking at the other tables who do order it they are pretty big rolls.
Marco made my experience feel like home. This little Japanese spot is a nice getaway from the madness of the bay. The parking can get a little tricky but it's totally worth it. Inside is a small but cute dinning area. Their prices are more than fair for the quality and quantity of food you get. My order came out in like 10 minutes which is decently quick for what I ordered. I had the chicken teriyaki and two sushi rolls..highly suggest the lion king roll! The food came out fresh and hot off the grill. Overall this place surprised me and it's worth checking out while catching a break from the traffic.
The food was over cook, and the service sucks. I ask for water the serving time I didn't get it. And they forgot one of my orders. It was never like this before. Tempura soggy. Very disappointed
I have been wanting to go to this place to have authentic Japanese dinner since when I arrived in July. I was so happy when my daughter invited me & my mother who is 85. When I arrived last night 22 Dec.2021for dinner about 7:30pm, I waited while a family was seated, they had to put 2 tables together. I didn't mind and continued to wait until the Spanish speaking waitors saw me & I asked for table & he was very rude to me so I left. I want to write more details but no space. I was very upset
Great japanese food. Good sake.
Small and simple family restaurant. Ok food and service.
My bento had plenty of food but quality if the meat wasn't so hot. Good service though.
I've been coming here since I was 17 in now 41. Love it here and it's affordable, the food is great, and service is awesome when he's there! I didn't get to take pictures of my other food, we ate it too fast lol
Simple and delicious neighborhood restaurant serving tasty Japanese food at an excellent value. We have been coming here for years and don't have any plans to change that! The bento box offerings and the sushi are very good and the service is always good.
