The walls are covered in Tokyo pic and noodle 'monster'. They have one larger community table. It is ~10-12 table establishment--so it is cozy....but it reminds me of Japanese-size restaurants.

Their karaage is also so delicious! Perfectly crispy and the most juicy bite of chicken! I love squeezing lots of lemon on it and dipping the chicken into the house sauce! It's an amazing appetizer that you must try at least once if you come here! The owner here is super friendly and he always is so welcoming! There are plenty of seats for dining and it's a nice casual and vibey atmosphere!

About 30min in the waiter comes to ask if we want take-out boxes, while we were talking, i guess we hadn't taken in a bite in awhile and he was checking? It felt like he was trying to get us out, possibly to turn the table, except there weren't that many people. It wasn't like it was packed and they needed it. Ruined the vibe of the date a bit, still the food was good, so overall i would recommend, but if you're gonna be chatting for a bit, it might be an issue? Or a misunderstanding. Either way would go back.

I stopped by here a while ago with my family for dinner. This wasn't my first trip to Eiwa but it…read morewas my twins' first visit. This restaurant is located right on McKnight Road somewhat near the intersection with Siebert. The inside is fairly large with seating in an L-shaped configuration around the kitchen. We were seated near the back on one side where the lighting was styled like lanterns and there was also a fun mural on the wall in an almost manga style. For dinner on this evening I decided to go with the Golden Katsu Curry Ramen while my wife went with the tonkotsu ramen and my kids split a happy cat noodles. My ramen was described as served with house-made curry broth simmered with tender potato and carrot chunks, wavy noodles and topped with a crispy cutlet, half marinated egg, sweet corn and scallions. My wife's was described as pork broth with thin noodles, pork belly chashu, nori, bamboo shoots, fish cake, kikurage mushroom, half marinated egg, sweet corn and scallions. My kids' meal was described as chicken nuggets, soy sauce-based plain noodles, assorted vegetables, half marinated egg and one piece of mochi ice cream. They first brought out the wrong item for my kids but once we mentioned it they quickly corrected it and brought out the right dish. My curry ended up being really good. The chicken cutlet was crispy, the noodles were bouncy and I enjoyed the sweetness from the corn. The star of the show for me though was the Japanese curry which had a rich flavor with warm and inviting spices. My wife loved her ramen as well and we were all impressed with the quality of the kids' meal, especially the chicken and the flavor of the noodles. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. Everyone in my family enjoyed their food and we appreciated that it felt both fun and family friendly.

My husband chose this spot for my first dinner after moving here, and... He made the right call :)…read moreDefinitely make a reservation; the place was packed. The seafood is fresh, and the menu features several creative options. We tried a variety of items (Nigiri, Temaki, Takoyaki, and the daily specials) and honestly loved everything! As sushi lovers, we shared several small plates and really appreciated the quality. The fish-to-rice ratio was spot on. I loved the vibe: very hipster, complete with a DJ. Next time, we'd love to sit at the counter facing the kitchen for that authentic Japanese experience. Our server was so sweet and gave us some great recommendations. Even though it was busy, the timing of the courses was perfect. Highly recommend!

I highly recommend a reservation as they do not take many walk ins, especially for big parties and definitely take advantage of their happy hour menu (5-6pm). Their HH menu allows you to try some of their most popular bites for a fraction of the cost! Items that we ALWAYS order are the karaage, stir fried udon wit shrimp tempura, at least 3 skewers, the lychee martinis, Takoyaki, and some variation of toro. We try to mix in others every time and have never had a bad bite! Servers are always so kind to us and can't wait until my next visit! Hopefully it's soon!

Nice bathroom sinks. Would recommend and would go back. Only thing I wouldn't do is get the 'gao'. The pork belly was good but it was too doughy. We had a great time. And we had a range of a party from 20 to almost 80 and no one complained. (Miracle).

Decent selection and a good late night spot if you're looking to get a drink or something…read more I don't have anything overly negative to say and it's a solid choice, but it didn't blow me away and the food itself was very Westernized. Compared to other Japanese places in the city, this is definitely one of the more American-forward, I think. I had the 唐揚げ (karaage) and the すき焼き丼 (sukiyaki don), and both felt like something you would find at any seafood place. Not bad by any means! Just very Westernized. The すき焼き丼 especially, very minimal compared to everything else, especially for the price. Thats another thing to mention--the prices are quite high, so just keep this in mind!
