I celebrated my birthday yesterday in this excellent restaurant. Well it was a phenomenal evening and the restaurant was indeed one of the reasons for the fruitful celebration. The stuff contributed in a pleasant manner, the cuisine was delicious and my guests were so glad. We shall surely visit again for more celebrations. Thank you very much.

Good old fashioned neighborhood Japanese restaurant. The type of place slowly dying out because of modern fads

It's an average Japanese sushi place. There is nothing unusually good or bad. I had Chirashi sushi, and it was good. The lunch special chicken teriyaki was also good, but nothing exceptional. The server was running around, but kept forgetting stuff. Maybe she's new? The place was a bit outdated, needing some fresh updates. The place was clean, but again, a bit old and needing some new stuff. The prices were average for Japanese in the area, about $30 per person for lunch without alcohol.

Honest, unpretentious, modestly priced sushi. My favourite restaurant in the world for 30 years. Always go when in SoCal (unless it's Monday [closed]) Love the Scallop handrolls and Nesei style potato salad. Tatami room available. Added a bar in waiting area at some point. Parking in rear is competitive and tight. A South Pas icon! Yumi yumi yumi!

Authentic Japanese food & the sushi is made by Japanese sushi chefs. There's a bar at one side of the restaurant. Staff is very friendly & helpful. Food is good & plentiful.

Absolutely horrible service. We waited well over 30 minutes for our sushi order, yet many tables were empty. The server was anything but friendly. I never saw her smile once and she never even offered a hint of an apology when I asked her where our order was, while everyone else was getting their dinner. The sushi was not fresh and when it comes to sushi, fresh is THE factor. The yellow tail in particular was mushy. I even found a bone (you read that right) in my yellow tail roll. Dinner for 3 of us was $90. If you're going to charge that amount, you'd better have decent quality fish. Don't even think of going to this place. If I could give negative stars, I would.

Fair enough and convenient - just a walking distance.

Questions & Answers

Oh wait is it a restaurant?

Not any more. They had limited delivery back in the 1980's, but there were too many issues.?

Yes. I reserved via GMaps link. Good luck.

I found the prices very reasonable for an "authentic" Japanese restaurant. Prices for a dinner plate are around $10-11 for entree that inc 2 salads(green w/dressing & ice cream scoop of potato salad), miso soup, tsukemono(pickled cabbage) & rice. There's udon(noodle) & rice bowls which can be cheaper but I havent tasted. I have other favorite plates I enjoy eating.

I think of onigiri as musubi. If your definition is the same, answer is NO. All their food can be ordered as take out. You can see their menu on the web.
