Authentic Japanese restaurant split between 2 units, which are both relatively small. I came on a Sunday night and they weren't full. You'll need reservations during busy times. Although the food tastes great, the wait time for food was ridiculously long - felt like 20 minutes just for sashimi. The waitress needing to walk between the 2 units don't help either. The decor could use some updating, as it is quite outdated. Food is on the pricier side, but expected at a real Japanese restaurant. However overall, I would choose a less authentic restaurant if it meant having faster service and a more modern atmosphere. They have dessert at affordable prices.

We were very hyped trying this restaurant. We decided to try it based on the reviews. Sadly our experience was not as anticipated. We ordered a set menu 30 pcs of sushi and sashimi, udon, soba, and beef tataki. The sushi/sashimi was not to temperature. Beef tataki had a strong liquid smoke smell. The beef also didn't look too appetizing. The shrimp sashimi was not fresh. Our server was very nice and helpful. We will not be returning.

My wife and I had an incredible dining experience at this charming, family-run Japanese restaurant tucked away in a quiet plaza. The peaceful atmosphere made it the perfect spot for a relaxed meal, away from the usual hustle and bustle. The food was absolutely outstanding—every dish was fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. The service was equally excellent, with the staff being both friendly and attentive. We truly enjoyed every moment of our visit and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and intimate dining experience 👍

Love this place. Been here twice already and got to say, it’s pretty consistent. Great value, lovely service, and great ambience. Check out the pictures, they’ll speak for themselves. Was so good I forgot to take pictures till half way through 😅 They had monkfish, uni, and other fishes that were from Japan exclusively.

Unfortunately I don’t understand how this restaurant has such a high rating because the food was not good. We ordered the sashimi omakase, tempura soba, and dragon roll. We started with the sashimi omakase which was decent as some pieces were great but some were quite fishy like the salmon. Our soba was very bland and only palatable after mixing in some soy sauce. The dragon roll tasted very funky because of the tobiko on top. The server was nice, however, the experience was odd as we were brought out of the restaurant and 2 units down to be seated in a separate unit. There is tailor shop in between the two units meaning that the servers could only be bussing the food over by walking outside and back inside.

The food was good. The fish were imported from Japan and we had uni that was just delivered from Vancouver. Note the service is slow, but when the food does come everything is explained.

This place is absolutely amazing. Me and my wife love Japanese food however it's not easy to find authentic Japanese places. Then we found this hidden gem in our neighborhood. The staff is so nice and welcoming they will explain you the dishes if you are new to Japanese food and they will gladly explain and make suggestions too. We had a really nice conversation with Mari while dining ”she is the one dressed up in a kimono". And the best part, the food .. is absolutely amazing 🤩 it's soo good and high quality. Most of the items are imported from Japan. If you are a authentic Japanese cuisine lover you must try them.
