First timer here. My fiance decided to treat me to sushi as we haven't had any quite some time…read more To start, salted edamame on the house is what I've grew up being used to, and seems like a lot of places don't do anymore. Shinkai does-- automatic plus for me. I ordered the Sushi Crafter Box and salivated as it being walked over to my table. It looked so satisfying that I didn't even want to dig in. But of course I had to. It was incredible! I normally don't love fatty tuna because the texture can be inconsistent and veiny but it was soft and not veiny at all! My fiance ordered 2 rolls, and a sashimi appetizer and loved it all. We were able to share everything we ordered and both left very satisfied. The service was fantastic, waters being refilled without having to ask and the restaurant was clean. It is a bit small unfortunately but that's just to say, expect wait times!

Very solid sushi and Japanese food joint - above average fish quality for a pretty good value (all…read morethings considered) What impressed me was the omakase, the fish was notably more flavorful and had higher fat content. Flavors and seasoning all balanced well, they put shiso leaf bits in between under the typically gamier fish and rice. Savory roe bits dot the top of some of the stronger tasting fishes. And 8pc were only $40. Salmon rolls (salmon salmon) and (orange ocean) were both good. Nice citrus hit in orange ocean but doesn't overpower - salmon salmon roll had good crisp and umami from the fried skin. The sashimi platter was solid - nothing that blew my mind but it was pretty good quality fish, only minor complaint was it was cut into oddly shaped chunks and not consistent in texture between each bite Also they gave a LOT of plum wine, not skimpy at all!

We came here to celebrate Mother's Day. They extended the…read morewaitlist, you can join ahead from home since it could be 60-90 minutes wait. It used to be you can only join where you come near the restaurant. It must be only for busy days like Mother's Day? There was a sheet offering specials for Mother's Day, cocktails, mocktails, a kurobuta pork belly and 2 desserts. We ordered our usual fare. Great service by Ariel, she handled everything as a pro, even with the crazy business. Food came out with no delay. The only change that we noticed id the teriyaki beef. The rib eye was usually so tender and juicy, everybody that we invited here were amazed how tender and great they were. Yes, we came here quite often, and brought every and all out of town guests here. But today they were tough, on the dry side, even though cooked Rare and MediumRare. All 3 steaks. So disappointed. We finished with the Biscoff cookie sundae, which they had for Valentine, a tempura fried ice cream dessert with crumbles of Biscoff cookies and caramel drizzles. So good. The room was busy with laughter and guests enjoying the food and company on this holiday.

Food: Everything we ordered was generous in portion and…read moreworth the price. The sushi rolls were large and filling. The fried oysters were also a great size and came with two dipping sauces, which was a nice touch. The maze ramen was a big portion and even my toddler enjoyed it. The standout for me was the tempura ice cream--perfectly crisp with a thin, light shell. Service: Our server was friendly, efficient, and very accommodating. However, the host experience was frustrating. The Yelp waitlist wasn't working on a busy Friday night, which seemed to cause some disorganization. We were quoted a 25-minute wait for a party of three, but ended up waiting 45 minutes. During that time, multiple parties of three who arrived after us were seated first. When I checked in at 35 minutes, I was told we were "next," but that didn't seem to reflect what was happening. At 45 minutes, after checking again and explaining how long we'd been waiting, we were seated immediately. It was confusing and especially difficult with a hungry toddler. Parking: Parking can be tricky. The restaurant is located under an apartment complex with limited guest spots on the first floor of the garage. If it's full, you'll have to exit and find street parking (which is minimal) or park across Dublin Blvd and walk. Overall: This was close to a perfect experience. The food and server were great, but the disorganized wait and host interaction took away from it. Hopefully they improve their system for busy nights, especially if the Yelp waitlist goes down again.

We were looking for Japanese wagyu bbq and our first stop was actually Chubby Cattle, but sadly…read moretheir waitlist was closed for the night. Luckily, we found Nikuya which had a very similar menu and also offered Japanese Wagyu for a bit cheaper! We got their premium set which is the only one that offered Japanese Wagyu (other tiers had Australian wagyu). It was still a 2hr wait on a Saturday but I am so happy I waited because the quality of the meats was amazing and the sashimi was so delicious! The sashimi had a nice citrus marinade that cuts down the fatty wagyu perfectly. I also love how they have a banchan and lettuce self-service bar because I NEED tons of radish slices and lettuce wraps with my bbq. Ordering is done on a tablet and the servers brought out the next round before we could even start cooking the previous, so we were never without food on the grill. Overall, highly recommend this spot!

Naturally, the whole fam only ate breakfast and we went…read moreto Harumi around 3:00pm so we would be hungry enough but too full for dinner :P I was anxious about ordering our rounds before the lunch menu ended at 3:30pm, and consequently rushed our server a bit (I am so sorry), but I later learned our time starts when we arrive! As long as we started ordering during lunch hours, we have 90 minutes to finish eating from the lunch menu. Yay! Weekday AYCE Lunch ($27.99): This is quite a darn deal. Doesn't matter that sashimi, sushi apps, and short rib aren't included. You still get ALL the rolls, other apps, hibachi, nigiri, and loads more. The self serve station for a variety of salads and fruits was nice. My favorites were the salmon and tuna hand rolls, thick cuts of fish! Baked salmon roll is a classic, and I loved every roll we ordered. They also have single serving ice cream with fun flavors like lime and orange. Everything came pretty quickly besides the baked rolls and hibachi, which had an anticipated wait. The tempura was elite as another reviewer raved. The clay pot rice and chicken katsu curry rice sounded really good, but I was scared of being too full lol. I'll share it with someone next time! The space was clean and they played loudish R&B. Will be back to try AYCE dinner offerings :)

This place is one of my go to sushi spot as they always have seasonal fish and their quality is OP!…read more It's located inside the mall so parking can occasionally be difficult. Their deluxe sashimi was surprisingly good. They served us different fishes that you typically don't get to see, not the simple salmon/tuna/hamachi.

The service is a little slow but they're kind and attentive. It was also a very busy day I ordered the miso and added bone marrow to it. I would say it might be my favorite ramen in awhile. The noodles had a good chew to them, the broth was flavorful but not heavy, the meat is really tender, the jammy egg was perfect and the bone marrow was huge with lots of marrow on it. I finished it all! I also loved the hamachi Kama, it was soft with just enough crispness on the outside. Lots of meat on it too! The decor is so fun and intricate. Would def come back!

When you enter, someone will seat you and then you order everything through a QR code that's on the table. Once you're ready to check out at the end, you can pay through your phone. It's super easy and convenient to be honest. I was really craving Japanese curry and my favorite place is Coco Ichibanya in southern california and although this place is not as good as my favorite place, it was still pretty good and hit the spot for my craving. I got the chicken karaage curry and added vegetables and an egg to it. I was sad they didn't have a Japanese omelette style egg but this fried egg still hit the spot. I believe I got spicy level 2, but it was not spicy at all for me. I do love spice though so I may not be a reliable source for spice levels... I will be getting a spicier level the next time I go though. If you're craving Japanese curry, check this spot out!!! It won't disappoint :)

With so many options in the area I decided to try this spot out that didn't have too many reviews…read morebut it had a good amount of positive reviews. I came in around 6pm and when I walked in there was 1 other table there and not busy. I would say it's a small spot that seats less than 50 people but it was nice and clean. I decided to get two rolls and a 6 piece nigiri that comes with a hand roll. Gorilla Roll - 9/10. I'm always a sucker for seared rolls. The salmon being seared gives it extra sweetness and the siracha mayo actually had a nice kick it to it and wasn't just sweet. The fried shallots on top added nice texture being crunchy with extra flavor. This was my favorite roll. Rosewood Roll - 8/10. You can taste that the fish is fresh. If you like salmon and tuna I would get this roll. What I liked about it as well was the spicy crab on top which carried a small amount of spice but adds to the flavor. Moriwase - 9/10. It comes with 6 nigiri and a hand roll. Again the fish is fresh and has good flavor. The portion was normal, definitely not small. The nigiri comes with a brush of soy sauce so no need to dip, but feel free to. I just wish it had some more wasabi cause I didn't taste any. It came with a spicy tuna hand roll which I liked a lot because it had a good kick. Service was great even though I was the only one in there after the table before me left but the lady was very nice and attentive. She even offered some home made dessert that was packaged in a cute box after having some small convo. I talked to the sushi chef and he's been making sushi for over 15 years and I could tell that he puts some passion in his craft. He told me everyone says the fish is fresh but he really tries to make the flavor known which I think he executed well. They also get their fish flown/delivered on Tuesdays/Thursday. If you're in the area I would recommend trying this spot. It's definitely a safe option and I'll be coming back to try the other items.

Both the atmosphere and food were disappointing…read more This is a casual spot which is totally fine. That said, phone sounds blasting from the kitchen does seem a bridge too far for me personally. It's just not professional and totally kills the possibility of an enjoyable meal. Service was friendly, but on the slow side. The atmosphere is super informal, featuring posters of food that is not actually on the menu. Food wise, it was OK. The miso soup was pretty expensive. The best dish by far was the futo-maki roll. Really good flavor for a vegetarian roll. The 'fresh crab' in the other roll we ordered was not good. Rice being IMO the most important element in sushi was executed well, but my chirashi had all the fish served fridge cold and with pretty rough, haphazard cuts. For the overall price of the experience, it just doesn't seem worth it.
