The Place- To go only and is inside a Korean Market…read more Parking- Easy and has a pretty big parking lot. I went with 3 stars but with some minor changes they could get to 4 stars. The rolls are pretty big but the are not wrapped very tightly and kind of fall apart. I would either want to the price to be $1-$2 dollars cheaper or I want a good wrap on the rolls and a little more flavor. Salmon Special Roll- Pretty good but I would recommend that you order with no cream cheese. Rainbow Roll- Was decent but the shrimp part was sliced so thin you could almost see through it. Albacore Tenji Roll- Pretty good.

I'm honestly surprised this place is rated above 3 stars, let alone 4.6. The food quality did not…read morematch the expectations at all. For example, the agedashi tofu came with vegetables like zucchini, eggplant, and cauliflower, which is quite unusual and not something I've seen in traditional Japanese preparation. The sashimi also tasted off -- it seemed like very low-quality fish, almost as if it had been frozen for too long. We also ordered a nabeyaki udon for our 2-year-old, knowing it's typically served in a very hot bowl. However, the server attempted to place it directly in front of our child without any hesitation or warning, which felt quite careless and concerning from a safety perspective. Overall, this didn't feel like authentic Japanese cuisine or sushi, but more of an unclear fusion concept. I rarely leave negative reviews, but I felt it was important to share this experience so others don't come in expecting high-quality or traditional Japanese food.

The staff were very nice and explained each item that came out. The restaurant has an intimate feel with jazz music playing. They have an extensive sake collection. They offer a sake flight to try, but I had one of their sake cocktails and it was delicious.

The service is friendly and helpful, with lots of great recommendations. I came with my lovely mama, who is very picky about her restaurants. They brought us some fish cake in dashi on the house--I will be dreaming about these fish cakes. Every dish was thoughtful and delicious. We got their special fried soft shell shrimp as per our waitress's recommendation; they were juicy and crispy and full of shrimp flavor that went fabulously with a squeeze of lemon. We've never had soft shell shrimp before, we can't wait to get it again! My mom's favorite was their grilled Hokkaido baby scallops, which were tender and so fresh. Mouthfeel was satisfying and chewy without being tough. The agedashi tofu was some of the best I've ever had, the miso eggplant perfectly sweet and savory. I loved the curry chicken kara-age, the half order came with two pieces! My mom thought it was a bit salty, worth it to note that she's very conscious of her salt intake for blood pressure reasons. I loved it, lol. We shared pieces of nigiri and a negitoro cut roll. That toro was FANTASTIC! Every piece we had was complex and full of flavor. I'm a new uni convert; this one was buttery and sweet. Our waitress mixed up our order for Spanish mackerel with Japanese mackerel and let us keep the Japanese mackerel no charge while still bringing out the Spanish mackerel!! So kind and both pieces were strikingly different (lucky us!!!). I loved my sake and aperol cocktail. I loved everything about this place, for that matter. Now I just need to convince every single one of my friends to come here with me.

Perhaps it's the presentation of the dishes, perhaps it's the taste, or the ambiance, or the service... it just isn't as "nice" as you'd expect from the Katsu-ya brand.

Also, we asked for several modifications due to allergies and they basically said there are no guarantees and seemed so annoyed to even have to deal with it... another thing that we don't experience at their other locations. As a plus, there's free parking in the shared lot.

Despite even that, I was helped immediately and was heading out with my order for 2 bowls in about 15 minutes. I was also offered a glass of ice water while I waited, which was very kind. Every aspect from the dark walls and wooden bar, down to the music and bathroom is well thought out. You can tell they truly value their space and the customers that support the restaurant. Don't get me started on the food ~ We tried the Bincho Egg Black Tonkatsu Ramen. The broth was silky and creamy, not oily or heavy at all. The black garlic added a very interesting earthy and almost scorched taste to it. The egg was sweet, and I've never had a sweet ramen egg before but it went well with the rest of the umami flavors in the dish. The green onions and wood ear mushrooms had a fresh crunch to them and there was enough to get a good amount in every bite. The charsiu was tender + savory sweet, kinda tasted like cheese to me but that's also a positive lol! The noodles were slightly chewy and the portion was just right for the amount of broth you get. I have nothing bad to say about this ramen, it's truly one of those spots where your heart desires seconds or even thirds lowkey. I'll be back again to try a different option on the menu. That spicy karaage looked pretty fire so I may need to come back to try that too... Thank you Bincho! Y'all killed the ramen game.

Everything fried to perfection, broth rich without being too fatty, curry seasoned right, and tempura veggies crisp and ripe - iykyk. The decor is great. Felt like I was in a little shop somewhere in Ramen Street. Kiddo loved all the maneki neko statues. We lucked out and got the booth - win!

My boyfriend and I like to go out for dinner for Date Night and this night he got to choose where…read morewe went. He knows I love hot pot and instead of our usual 626 hot pot spots, he wanted to choose something new and hip that we've never tried before. He heard from a friend that Tabu Shabu was a good hot pot place so we decided to try it out. The restaurant is located in the corner in a huge plaza, we came on a Friday night and although the plaza was busy, we were able to find a parking spot. Inside the restaurant, you'll either be seated the few tables that they or in the center circular "bar" style seating. It was my first time being at a hot pot place with this style seating, but it was a unique experience. Once seated, we were given menus and quickly asked what we wanted to drink. After the waitress took our order, it took us about 15 minutes for our appetizer to arrive. We ordered spicy edamame and a cucumber salad. The menu was very basic and I wasn't impressed with the broth selection. The standard broth was traditional kombu (literally water with a huge piece of seaweed), miso for additional $1, sukiyaki, for additional $3, and tonkotsu for additional $4. Sounds a bit absurd to me that they would charge extra for the different options when at much better tasting Hot Pot places, the options would all be included in the price. After 20 minutes, one of the waiters noticed that we didn't receive our broth or food and asked us if we ordered yet. We told him that a waitress took our order already but we haven't received our food. Turns out, the waitress took our order but didn't place it in the system yet. I'm hangry at this point, we came to our reservation at 7:30, it's 8:20 at this point and we had plans at 9pm-- so I was a bit annoyed that we had to wait so long. Things were turned around once we received our order though, the broth and food came quickly after she placed our order and the veggie platter section was OK. I'm not the biggest fan of hot pot places that have preselected veggie plates. The veggie plate had a small handful of spinach, a few pieces of napa cabbage, 3 pieces of broccoli, two slices of kabocha pumpkin, a small bunch of enoki mushroom, two pieces of tofu, and some onion slices. It's a nice "variety" but I only like broccoli and mushroom, but because I don't eat rice I had no choice but to eat the veggies to fill me up. I'm happy they offered Shirataki noodles! I chose the large portion and did half chicken half chuck roll. The chuck roll I was given was chewy and fatty. I spat out the chewy parts which was basically majority of the portion I was given. Would I come back here? No, but being from the 626, I have higher expectations for hot pot because I've grown up eating it. This is a good hot pot place for beginner hot pot goers.
