Excellent Japanese spot. The food is excellent with a nice tight menu and the atmosphere transports you straight to japan with a wall of manga you can ask to borrow and Japanese game shows as mainstays. Old man Yama is friendly and you can tell he loves what he does because it shows in every bite. Perfect lunch spot or great for an off beat and intimate dinner date
This should be Best Of Morgantown rated. First class service! The little entryway off the side of high street holds a treasure trove of amazing authentic Japanese treats with the atmosphere to match. The service is helpful in helping you navigate their simplified menu aiding in finding exactly what you're looking for in a dining experience. Great quick lunch stop, or nice little spot for a dinner with friends. Ten stars in my book!
One of the few authentic Japanese places in the country really. Mr Yama had this restaurant for over 20 years and I sold it to someone who would carry on his traditions better than most. Enjoy your retirement and look forward to the next 20. It was all delicious!!
The best Japanese restaurant in the region - food is always fresh, delicious and the service is amazing. Very small and limited seating, but well worth the experience. Our favorite place to eat or get take out.
Fantastic Family restaurant that has superb food! The ladies are sooooo welcoming and they really care about their customers. Thank you for feeding us so well! We loved the Tuna bowl and the soup is super flavorful. You're gonna like this little place with great dining options!
Incredible food, service, and atmosphere! Best tuna roll I've ever had. The prices were very fair. 10/10 would recommend.
Best hidden little treasure in Morgantown. I stopped by while in town for a hobby meetup, was blown away to find authentic Japanese cuisine! I really enjoyed the Takoyaki and the cold Shoyu ramen! Will definitely have to try the curry rice next time I am able to make it out there!
They serve the best katsudon (breaded deep-fried pork and eggs cooked in a sweet and salty broth served over steamed rice) I've tried outside of Asia. Their katsudon is extremely authentic. I believe their chief is Japanese, and if you want to try authentic kasudon, I would definitely recommend this place. I've never heard of anyone complaining about their dishes while I was working at WVU.
BEST Japanese restaurant in the country! One of the things we miss most about Morgantown! Just sooo very worth it!
I've eaten here a few times and the food is okay but the service is terrible. Good kuck placing a carryout order, nobody answers the phone!!!
