Pretty good. Overall good quality food and will be back

Parking is tough, but that's not the fault of Fugetsu. The selection is great, and I enjoyed my combo meal of yakiniku and tonkatsu. Flavor was good and of course it's not on the same level as getting it made fresh to order for you, but for a picnic, it's great to have so many options like this. Service was friendly at the register and the store also has other fun Japanese goods like toy figures (though kind of overpriced). A bit crowded, but it just means that there's a lot of stuff packed into the space to choose from. So I like it - reasonable quality food, great selection, fair prices.

Fresh, good quality sashimi in a casual setting…read more Had sashimi at Tomi Sushi and it was a solid experience overall. The fish was fresh--clean, buttery texture with no fishy aftertaste. Each piece felt well-prepared and nicely sliced, letting the natural flavor of the fish stand out. The selection was simple but well-executed, which made it easy to appreciate the quality. Service was friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the food came out at a comfortable pace. The vibe is relaxed and low-key--more of a casual neighborhood sushi spot than a fancy omakase experience, but that's part of the charm. It feels approachable while still delivering good quality sushi. Would come back for a simple, fresh sushi craving

My favorite bar is the bar seating has a foot placement which other places do not. Bathroom was also clean and there were instructions on how to eat dry ramen. Food: The soup was delicious! I got the spicy tonkatsu and it was definitely spicy. The chashu was so flavorful. I was shocked because this definitely might be one of the best chashus I've ever had comparably to Japan. The egg? Phenomenal, the texture, marinade was tiers above other ramen places and you get an entire egg not just a half! If I were to improve one thing, I think it'd be nice to have some more variety in vegetable toppings as I was looking for more throughout my bowl.

To preface, I'm comparing my experience with the Tsujita in LA that I have been to before. The tsukemen is not as flavorful as I quite remembered. It wasn't until near the end of the meal that I noticed the broth was concentrated at the bottom. I highly suggest mixing the broth first before eating. This was not an issue when I ate at the LA location. The salmon bowl is a new dish I did not try previously. There's a unique smell to the dish, which either comes from the sauce or fish, that can be off-putting to some people. I suggest to go with the tsukemen the restaurant is known for.

You order at the front, then grab a table and wait for your name to be called. We got the chicken katsu with curry, karaage with curry, and tonkatsu. We also ordered menchi katsu a la carte (side) which came with two pieces. All of the curry came with rice or cabbage and you can choose the spice level (1-3). Level 1 is a mild with a kick. Pickled radish is additional dollar, kinda wish the meal came with it. Honestly would recommend just getting the choice of protein with the curry because it's a couple dollars more than getting a la carte... Curry was very good! Nice flavors and the rice helped enhance it. I liked the menchi katsu the most. It is basically a deep fried beef hamburger with crumb coating, flavors were really good and was juicy; came with 2 pieces for a la carte. Can't go wrong with chicken or tonkatsu too. The chicken karaage came with a mayo sauce on the side! I liked it, but I think this would be better on its own. Overall would come back and try other options.

Seating is on the smaller side but it wasn't too packed when I went.

It is straightforward with a good mix of udon, rice dishes, small bites, and drinks, which I really appreciated. The food felt delicate but still had layers of flavor. Nothing was heavy or overdone. The rice was one of my favorite parts. It was crispy on the outside and cooked perfectly inside, which made it so satisfying. The chicken karaage was also really good. Crispy, tender, flavorful, and exactly what you want when you order karaage. The only thing I would probably skip next time is the mixed sake drinks. They are fruity and fun, but they tasted like they were made with sugary syrup. So if you do not want a sugar bomb or you are watching sugar calories, I would stay away from those. The inside has a cozy feel that reminded me a little of something you would find in Japan, but with a bit of an American touch. It felt clean, casual, and comfortable. The staff was friendly and attentive without making anything feel rushed. Also we had our son so they brought share plate without us even asking for him. I loved that they considered that. For the amount of food, the quality, and the overall experience, the prices felt well worth it. We will definitely be going back. It is one of those places that feels easy to recommend because the food is good, the menu makes sense, the service is warm, and the whole experience just works. We arrived around 5:50 PM and it wasn't busy but maybe 30 min in it was crowded and by the time we left there was a wait so plan to get there earlier. This was on a Wednesday as well.

The food was honestly so good, very rich and creamy flavors, but what really made me want to leave a 5 star review was how kind and careful the staff were with my little cousin's allergies (she is allergic to a lot of stuff). They took everything super seriously and made sure there was no cross contamination. They even separated her toppings into different bowls just to be extra safe in case she reacted to something. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. It made our whole family feel really comfortable eating there. Amazing service and amazing food, definitely coming back!

I liked their traditional izakaya decor inside. They also had a tatami seating area towards the back. We decided to go family style so that we could try more items on their menu. We ordered the Niku Trio Set, which included braised pork, grilled chicken wings, niku tofu, edamame, and shishito. The food came out really quickly. Other than the edamame, which was very bland, everything was very flavorful. The pork was very soft, and the sliced thin beef paired really well with the tofu in the niku tofu. Both dishes came piping hot, and were very comforting, like home-cooked food. The shishito peppers came with a lot of bonito flakes; they're charred very well and not spicy at all. Wings well nicely grilled, too. The seafood okonomiyaki was not bad. It's a bit softer than I expected, but had quite a lot of seafood. The large Deluxe Meshi was pretty big. It came in a hot stone pot with a generous amount of salmon, eel, flying fish roe and a poached egg. I loved how crispy the rice around the pot was. No wonder it's their most popular dish. If you like authentic Japanese food, I would highly recommend this place.

The chicken was nicely fried and tender, good flavor. The mayo and all the toppings made it into a good salad. I also have the AGE GYOZA: 5PCS OF FRIED GYOZA STUFFED WITH PORK, CHICKEN, AND VEGGIES. Nice flavor on the inside. The outside was chewy and crisp. My two items were very good. My friends like all the stuff they got. It was different fish dishes and raw stuff.

IS. DELICIOUS! The first time I had Leichi, I wanted to go back the week after because it was that good. Service (with reservation) is always on point and food comes out quick. The waiters are welcoming and open to answering any questions. My favorites are the tempura octopus, homemade tofu, cold duck soba, black cod, hojicha panna cotta, and assorted sushi. They ship their fish from Japan, so it's always high quality and fresh. The sashimi is literally melt in your mouth. The housemade tofu is fresh and has the rich soy flavor. My boyfriend isn't a big tofu guy, but even he loved it. The black cod is cooked with sake and a must try! Their ginger ale is housemade with their ginger syrup. I'm always grabbing two cups whenever I go! The hojicha panna cotta is rich, creamy, and always a great end to any meal.

Nothing was off, but nothing really stood out either. The sashimi was fresh and the grilled fish was cooked well, though the flavors and presentation didn't quite leave a lasting impression. It felt like everything played it a bit safe. Service was the highlight. Our server was attentive, checked in at the right moments, and made sure everything was taken care of without being intrusive. Overall, a solid spot if you're looking for a quiet, easy meal, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for just yet.

I ordered the 109, which includes a medium spicy miso soup and a side order or meat, rice and green onions, as well as an egg. The soup itself has bamboo, seaweed, chashu, and a delicious mild spicy broth. The price was about $23 to $24, which is reasonable for the amount of food you get. The workers are friendly, and they offer free water if you ask. Since it's located inside a Mitsuwa, the parking can be challenging, especially during the weekends, so just be mindful of when you go. The plaza has other shops as well, in case you want to visit Paris Baguette, Daiso, etc. I recommend trying this place whenever you're near the area.
