I came in with a party of 4 & as soon as we sat down we sort of told our server our plans for that night and that we had a movie reservation in about 45 min. Justin made our experience worthwhile. He was aware we were in a time crunch so he took our orders & brought them out seamlessly. He was kind, funny, and was able to display a level of hospitality I haven't seen in a long time! The food was delicious and I love coming here for the food, HOWEVER, the service is was really exceeded my expectations this time. Thank you for taking care of us Justin!

It's been about a year since I've been here and I was pleasantly surprised that there was no wait…read morefor a party of 8 people! We were seated inside and I opted for the AYCE option. For this go around, my daughter and I ate strictly Nigiri. We had Citrus Soy Salmon, Garlic Ponzu Salmon, Smoked Salmon, Salmon Belly, Seared Tuna Crunch, Eel, Spicy Salmon, Shrimp, Yellowtail, & Umami Oil Salmon. This is definitely the route to go when doing the AYCE option to maximize the value! Food came out quickly and the staff were super nice and attentive. Fish was fresh and everything was so tasty! Loved the birthday singing and sign! The boys got free ice cream for their birthday celebration! Restaurant was busy but not too busy where you have to wait for a seat. Definitely a place to go to for some good sushi.

This is the first Japanese meal I've ever had in Mexico and it was to my surprise, not bad!…read more This place stands out because it is the only Japanese restaurant in the whole of Avenue de revolution! It is a boutique eatery with comics, anime art work, sculptures, with JPOP music videos playing in all their TVs. As I sat down, i was greeted with a complimentary side order of potato salad. I ordered the matcha horchata drink. It was a very interesting taste, a bit powdery, but still good! Ordered the spinach ramen with tokatsu broth. I was impressed by how easy it is to order, as easy as 1, 2, and 3! There's not much waiting time and my ramen came. I've had many ramens in my life so I do have pretty high standards when it comes to ramen. The spinach noodles are perfect, soft chewy and tasty. The broth is flavorful but can be better, the egg is over cooked. The service is great, waiters are attentive, give it a try when you're in downtown TJ!

Been here server times and always go with our friends who go there all the time…read more Waiters are nice and service is great. I wonder sometimes if they're nicer cause they know our friends lol. The food is yummy, executed well. We like so many of their sushi rolls! It may be small but they put out good food! Smaller, to me, is very often better.

A good little Sushi/Ramen hidden gem in Chula Vista. Heard a lot about this place so I finally came…read more& yes I'm a fan. First let me start with the customer service, it was great, from the door to getting seated to the waiters checking on us & the cooks smiling & the speed & quality of the service was all great. And the prices are very reasonable, they don't open till 5 tho, for dinner basically, weekends can get busy so get there early. The food was very good, I got the Chula Vita Ramen & I'd get it again, very filling & flavorful. The sushi was very fresh & good & filling as well, Abre La Boca Mucho was our fav roll, it can be shared with another person for sure, Viva Chula Vista was a good roll too. Miso soup was ok & no garlic edamame they have lemon butter edamame, if you like lemon & butter flavor you'll like it, it was ok but it lack a bit of flavor for me. My fav item here was the Jalapeño Popper as an appetizer, 8 pieces & man let me tell you, it was mouth watering & on point, it's a must to start with. Overall I good little spot & we come again for sure, keep up the good work Naruto & see you soon :)

Parking 3/5 -There is only street parking available…read more Service 5/5 -Staff was friendly and service was prompt. Food 5/5 -Hayashi Omurice $20, wow it's no wonder why almost everybody that comes orders this dish. The flavor is so rich but not overwhelming, every ingredient tasted so seasoned, soft and compliments each other perfectly. It really tasted so authentic like I was in a cafe in Japan. -Hot hatsu curry udon $22, the curry broth was a soft slurry that coated every strand of al dente udon. The green onions made it so refreshing, beef was tender but the ultimate stars were surprisingly the super soft carrots and potatoes that have absorbed all of the curry's essence. I enjoyed every bite out of this bowl. Ambiance 5/5 -The space is pretty small and intimate but very comfortable, pink floral theme throughout and with one of the cleanest bathrooms I have seen in a restaurant(warm bidet seat included).

Went to Hatsuzakura around noon on a Sunday and wow... the line was no joke. We had heard so many…read morerave reviews and were craving some good Japanese comfort food, so we put our name down despite the quoted 45-60 minute wait. Ended up being closer to an hour, and by the time we got seated, we were definitely starving. We started with Chef Soichi's Karaage, which honestly ended up being the biggest disappointment of the meal. Not much flavor and definitely not what we were expecting given all the hype around this place. The clear winner of the day was my son's Hayashi Omurice -- super comforting, flavorful. My daughter and I split the Yakisoba, which was decent but nothing particularly memorable. The Guratan was creamy, cheesy penne pasta dish and definitely a kid pleaser. My husband ordered the Hatsuzakura Curry with chicken substituted in, and while solid, it still felt hard to justify the price point overall. We had originally planned to try the Onigiri too, but after seeing multiple reviews mention the rice-to-filling ratio being off, we decided to skip it. Dessert definitely redeemed the experience a bit. The Mango Matcha Kakigori was the family favorite and perfect for sharing, while the Coffee Jelly was appreciated by my coffee-loving hubby. Overall, a 3.5 star experience. Themenu felt pretty simple and honestly overpriced for what you get. The space itself is also very tiny with limited seating, so be prepared for a wait. That said, the service was excellent throughout the meal -- the staff were extremely courteous and kept checking in after we were seated and updating us on kitchen wait times, which we really appreciated. For us, this felt more like a drinks-and-desserts spot than somewhere we'd go out of our way for a full meal again.

We got the agedashi tofu and the deep fried baby octopus to share. Love both of these sides, the…read moretofu was extremely soft and flavorful and the octopus was crunchy, chewy, and just so flavorful. I got the Nabeyaki Udon, it was delicious, hearty, and filling. It really hit the spot on a cold cloudy day. The broth was light and clear and the udon was bouncy and chewy. I also loved all the ingredients, the chicken was tender and the shrimp tempera were light and crunchy.

This is a low-key long-standing local spot with mostly regulars. Tucked right next to Nijiya…read moreMarket, it never relies on marketing--only authentic home-style flavors and consistent quality keep customers coming back. It's a cozy Japanese izakaya with warm yellow lighting, just like a traditional neighborhood pub in Tokyo. Perfect for casual drinks and enjoying a genuine laid-back vibe. I ordered the eel kamameshi, which took about 20 minutes to serve. Their house-marinated eel is incredibly fragrant. The Creamy Mentai Udon is a must-try: rich creamy flavor, savory pollock roe with no fishy taste, and perfectly chewy noodles that are absolutely addictive. Their grilled beef tongue is cooked to perfection--tender, juicy, and well-balanced in salt and sweetness. The teppanyaki is also very flavorful. Price range is mid to high, around $40+ per person. The staff gives off classic old-restaurant regular vibes: efficient and no overly formal small talk. It feels like a neighborhood comfort spot--warm and relaxed without forced hospitality.

Loooooove this place. Introduced several of my friends to this place and they are converts!! The…read moreplace is not that big, with U-shaped bar seating and the servers in the middle which makes for quick and attentive service. When checking in be aware your whole party must be there to be seated and it is likely that you will end up next to another party as there are no separate tables. They have premium meats and know that it is NOT AYCE like some other shabu shabu places, so beware it will be a bit pricy depending on what you choose. You pick a broth, a rice, a noodle, a protein and you get a plate of veggies and sauces. You get an individual pot to mix your food to your liking. It is SO GOOD. I have never had a bad experience here. My go-to order is a mix of the tonktosu and spicy miso broth along with double wagyu shortrib and extra udon noodles. It's rich and filling and the veggies are fresh. I like to sub out certain veggies to get extra of others I like better (like mushrooms). I would eat here every single day if I could. If you don't finish your rice and broth they'll put it in a to-go container for you so you can have your "porridge" later. Drink menu is good too, they have rotating selection of drinks available, as well as sake, wine, and beer on tap.

Japanese hot pot? Ok…read more Driven by the place many many times and always assumed it was a ramen spot. We decided to give it a try after realizing it was hot pot. We walked in and just one other couple was dining. Happy hour from 5-6. Our waitress immediately explained how the menu worked and gave us cooking tips. I ordered the miso broth with pork and toro. We also had the chuck roll and brisket. The chuck roll and the pork were delicious. Would definitely skip the toro and brisket next time. The veggies they served were all great (mushrooms, emoji, bok choy, carrot, spinach, kabocha squash, with the exception of a bit too much cabbage). The experience can a little a bit of an endeavor if you've never done it solo, as you solely have to pay constant attention to the pot while trying to eat at the same time. It can be hard to hold a conversation when your food is boiling boiling hot! Definitely a laborous experience but a fun one!

I've been wanting to try ramen at every place possible and this place was next. As soon as I walked…read moreit I was confused because the place has no sign or name in front of it. If j wouldn't have asked the host what restaurant it was I probably wouldn't have known. A little sign would have helped lol. Now to the food...it was delicious. I ordered the classic ramen, a spicy tuna roll, and a beer all for under $15 which was great. The ramen was very tasty and the pork that it had was very savory and well marinated. The spicy tuna roll was one of the best that I have tasted and although the ramen filled me up, I just had to eat the roll. It was way too good to leave unfinished. All in all, this place is great and the food is amazing. Amazing food and attentive staff calls for a great experience and that is what I had.

I'm not going to go into the obvious of what kind of establishment is linked to this restaurant…read more All I will say is that it is more for adults, as people who work in the adjacent nightclub come here to eat on their break. I will focus this review strictly on the food and service. I've come here periodically to get some food during my excursions to baja. This place is located in Zona Norte along Coahuila Street. Access can be gained through either Coahuila Street, or through the alleyway between Cohauila St. and First Street. (FYI: Coahuila Street and this alleyway are the only safe part of this region, do NOT go venturing to any other part of Zona Norte). The main restaurant area is a short walk up a flight of stairs from those two streets. Inside, the place is clean, brightly lit, and staffed by attentive waiters and waitresses. There is plenty of seating here, despite it being pretty busy at times. My favorite dish is the filet mignon. This comes with a side of loaded baked potato, veggies, and dinner bread. I usually like to add rice. To drink, my personal favorite is the lemonade sans the sugar, their regular coffee, and sometimes, their iced mocha. The food is pretty good here, very flavorful and prepped with care. The price matches the quality. Paying in cash here is far less of a hassle than paying with card. They require you to let them photo-copy your ID, and for your signature to match meticulously. If you find yourself venturing to this part of Tijuana, and hunger strikes you, then give this place a try.

Everything is absolutely delicious they really know how to make great food and every time I'm in…read morethe area I will definitely be back!
