I came here for an early dinner with my brother and sister on Friday night. We easily were able to…read moreget a table and our order was taken quickly. For an appetizer we had their takoyaki. I loved that the inside was full of chunks of octopus. I ordered their miso ramen as my entree and I really enjoyed everything about it. The broth was very tasty, the noodles were cooked perfectly; next time I would just ordered extra meat since it only comes with 2 slices. It was such a big bowl I had to take some home. I tried their moshi Fuji apple sparking water and thought it was very refreshing. Our server was very attentive and friendly. I will definitely be returning when I'm in the mood for some good ramen.

The charred chashu? That little flame kiss is the difference between "good" and "don't talk to me while I eat." Food came out fast, staff moved like ninjas, water refilled before I even thought about it, and the place looks exactly how serious ramen should feel. Affordable, authentic, no shortcuts. This spot gets respect.Soft lighting, wooden accents, and the gentle clatter of chopsticks create a cozy, lived-in feel.

Very nice Sushi spot in Woodside/Sunnyside, with super attentive staff…read more Went there with two other people on a hot Summer evening, wanted to sit down indoors but they were full (it's not a massive restaurant, probably fits about 15 people inside at a time). However they made sure we had seats and glasses of water right outside their front door while we waited for a spot, very kind of them. Once we eventually got in and snagged a table, we saw that there's a team of 2-3 professional sushi chefs behind a counter in the middle of the dining area, with a display of sashimi and other goodies behind the counter. A good sign for sure. They have a pretty extensive menu (I'd like to come back and try a few more things at some point, like their pineapple fried rice), but we came specifically for the sushi and ordered accordingly. Had some Edamame and Tempura Shrimp to start, and then ordered the "Lover's Plate" (or something along those lines) for two, to share among the 3 of us. Menu said it came with a good sampling of different kinds of sushi and sashimi, which is exactly what we were hoping for. And holy crow, do they not skimp on the portions. The Lover's Plate is like $50, but it's well worth it. We were utterly stuffed and could barely finish the food - would have brought home more if we didn't know that sashimi rarely stays as good after a day or so in the fridge, so we crammed down as much as we could while sitting there. The bottom line about the sushi and sashimi is that they were good - maybe not spectacular, but again quite good overall. Clearly they know what they're doing, behind the counter. Meanwhile their staff came over multiple times to check on us, see if we liked the food or wanted anything else - they seemed genuinely keen on making sure we were having a good time, despite having a packed restaurant of other customers to handle as well. The bill wasn't cheap, but it wasn't crazy expensive either - just the right amount, given the quality of the food. Would happily come again and try out other items from their sizable menu.

Opened since 04/01/26…read more Staff are pretty nice and also speak English and Cantonese Chinese. They didn't change much of the decor from the old dumpling place. But it's kept very clean. I tried both the rainbow roll and the green dragon roll. Sushi rolls are decent and at a fraction of the price of other sushi restaurants. Way better than the sushi rolls you get at the supermarket though. I also got the seaweed salad and miso soup. Miso soup is not as salty as other Japanese restaurants. Mango smoothie is pretty good. Upgrade to the larger size for only $1 more. As I was waiting for my order. People come in and out. They order the teriyaki Chicken combo for $10.99-Includes choice of 2 sides and a soda. Must be good. Will come back next time to try that out.

I live around the corner from here and was happy to see a new spot that isn't another coffee shop…read moreopen up within walking distance to me. This place mostly looks like a to-go spot, but there are tables inside if you want to sit. I placed an order at the counter and was told it'd be around 15 minutes. What I really appreciate about this spot is that it has a decent sushi menu but also offers soup dumplings - these are two of my favorite things. The inside is clean and casual. After around 15 minutes or so my order was ready. The sushi I had was fresh and well-priced. The soup dumplings were good also, though a little more doughy than what I usually like. I was sad that they forgot my miso soup. Overall I would come back here again, especially given that I live right around the corner.

After playing at a nearby playground, we were starving and looking for a place to eat. This…read morerestaurant popped up in my search and was conveniently located just two blocks away, so we decided to give it a try. It's a fast-casual spot specializing in Americanized Japanese fare. Here's what we ordered: Shumai ($5.99/6pcs): you can choose to get them steamed or fried and I highly recommend getting them fried. They were cooked perfectly and it had a nice crispy exterior and soft center. Yes, they aren't as healthy but they are so much more tasty fried! Shogun Wings ($7.99/5pcs or $13.99/10pcs): solid wings. They were very crispy and slightly salty. It was accompanied with some kind of soy based dipping sauce. Spring Rolls ($5.99/3pcs): was just okay and would probably skip these next time. Dragon Roll ($12.99): eel and cucumber with avocado on top and drizzle of eel sauce. This was delicious but much too similar to a stadard Eel roll which I could probably have ordered for $8. Beef Teriyaki Bowl ($11.99): served with fried rice and broccoli. The teriyaki sauce was very good but the beef was a bit too chewy. We also got two Hibachi Bentos which came with miso soup, rice (white or fried), broccoli, two pieces of gyoza and four pieces of a California roll. Hibachi Salmon Bento ($14.99): I opted for white rice. It came with 3 pieces of Salmon and was really solid dish. Hibachi Chicken Bento ($13.99): We chose fried rice. It came with a generous portion of sliced teriyaki chicken. We all agreed this was by far the best dish among the beef, salmon and chicken bowls we ordered. Taro Milk Tea ($5.99): good overall, and tapioca was nice and soft. Overall, a great lunch. We scarfed everything down. Good to know there's a solid spot to grab a bite whenever we are near by.

I've had Mochiron Izakaya bookmarked for a while, so expectations were... not sky-high, but…read moredefinitely higher than what we got. We went all in on the skewers with the assorted combo (thigh, breast, meatball, pork belly, the whole lineup including bacon-wrapped everything), plus yaki ika, takoyaki, and fried oysters. On paper, this should've been a fun, izakaya-style spread. In reality, it all landed somewhere firmly in the "fine, I guess" category. The yakitori platter was the biggest letdown--nothing was outright bad, but everything felt a little lifeless. The meats leaned dry, the seasoning didn't quite hit, and even the bacon-wrapped items (which should be a guaranteed win) somehow came off underwhelming. The yaki ika was chewy without much depth beyond the sweet soy + mayo combo, and the takoyaki lacked that soft, almost molten center you want. Fried oysters were decent, but not enough to save the spread. Service matched the food: polite but forgettable. No major issues, just minimal engagement and a general "going through the motions" vibe.

This is a very busy neighborhood restaurant, so don't be surprised if you have to wait for a table! Ambiance, decor and service was great! Everyone was friendly and welcoming.

These are the dishes we tried tonight: - Karage Chicken 5pcs/$9 - Fuyu Chicken Wings 5pcs/$9 - Tantanmen Ramen w.added Chashu ($16.50+$3.50) - Tonkotsu Ramen $15 - Chashu Dupbap $10 Overall, everything was very good; especially the Ramen and Dupbap dishes. I found the Tantanmen a little overly salty but still pretty good. There are many other great items on their menu. Next time, I'd like to try their various buns, which looked terrific! Fuyu is definitely a neighborhood favorite and I would return to try more items!
