Absolutely Excellent! I keep saying this is one of my favorite restaurant experiences of all time…read more Our waitress Jazmine was so helpful. With suggestions and attentiveness and really vibing with our needs. The restaurant was out of stock of my favorite dish (seared white albacore), but I was so happy our alternatives worked out to perfection. We were blessed with the first of their new beef dish they haven't launched on their menu quite yet and it was perfection. The beef melted and was savory and absolutely delicious. Give Jazmine a raise! Oh and our greeter, who I assume was the owner couldn't have been more gracious or kinder. I will definitely be back!

Twas a solo, business trip on a Friday night, so I was able to experience this place on full, local display. Sat at the sushi bar and I was able to watch the chef make my Oco personally. The only reason I left a star out is because as I sat at one of those bar spots, I was exposed to the back side of the deep fryer so not only was it warm but it was a touch scummy. It needed to be cleaned thoroughly. (To me that something you expect in Japanese culture is the expected cleanliness.) The service was not bad, perhaps not top notch, maybe due to the fact it was a full house with tables turning over. Overall well done and I will return.

Solid Japanese style restaurant serving beautifully curated and thoughtfully prepared small dishes…read morein a seemingly unexpected location on the Mendocino / Sonoma coast ! We recently relocated to Sonoma county (The Sea Ranch) from Silicon Valley (Menlo Park) and have had some nice meals along the coast since we moved here FT (Harbor House, Ledford House etc) but this little spot is a real gem. Friends recommended it so we had a double date night and filled the table with all sorts of goodies. Great evening and food. Highly recommended. Small, simply situated on a very quiet street in Point Arena. A few doors down from a decent locally sourced weed shop (also worth a visit BTW), and a local fish monger (Point Arena is a commercial fishing port) and solid local bakery (Pelican), this excellent restaurant serves up a variety of rotating locally sourced small plates and yakatori style grilled meats and veggies as well as some raw fish and stews as well. Highlights were the sashimi, the fish roe on rice, the grilled pork belly, the grilled cabbage salad, the tempura shrooms and the fried chicken oysters as well as the grilled chicken thighs. All excellent. They have a nice selection of saki's as well (we had 2 small bottles to share $20/each) and to close the meal we had the Matcha ice cream with passion fruit ! All in for 4 people including tax and tip $250...which in today's world seemed very fair to me. Great meal and great vibe overall. Chef/owners apparently have strong training and work experience in Japanese settings and fine dining restaurants- which may explain why this place does very simple things so well... Make a reservation on the weekends otherwise you'll miss out or end up eating at the bar. There are certainly worse things to do than that...however, trust me. Visit here and thank me later. Well done Izakaya Gama ! We will be back. This will undoubtedly be on our regular "locals dining out rotation" now. Bravo Izakaya Gama !

Izakaya Gama was a fantastic surprise, especially for the location. The food was genuinely…read moredelicious, and I'd even argue it's impressively authentic--no Japanese staff, but absolutely Japanese-level execution. Every dish landed. Fried, grilled, steamed, raw... not a single miss. We were staying just up the block on a short getaway, and this ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the trip. At one point we were talking about Rintaro in SF, and the chef overheard us--she mentioned he knew the folks there and spoke highly of them. Honestly, after eating here, I think Gama is better, and at a much friendlier price point. Warm atmosphere, great food, and a chef who clearly cares about what they're doing. This place is a win all around.

We sat around for a little bit and eventually got up grabbed some menus for ourselves. About 5 minutes later the waiter showed up to take our order. Then it took another 35 minutes for our food to come which feels pretty long for ramen. Now for the ramen we got the meyer lemon shio and spicy tantanmen. The chicken in the meyer lemon shio was really dry. The noodles were pretty good but everything else didn't feel like it paired well. The spicy tantanmen had good noodles but as I was eating it, it made me think i'd rather being eating shin ramen. For $23 a bowl the portion was small, service was slow and the ramen was okay.

Had the garlic ramen and tonkatsu ramen and the broth was so rich and good! The toppings and everything tasted fresh and quality! Had some gyoza as well and they were very very good Had to order two orders of those They offer hot sake and other drinks as well and it was very good and nice to come by so locally. Very nice staff and super attentive and helpful All in all couldn't be happier with my experience And will be returning for ramen soon! Highly recommend this place!

My favorite roll here is the Dragon roll. It's really a nice sized roll. It's the perfect balance of sweetness, crunch and umami. We tried the agedashi tofu. Next time I would ask them not to but bonito flakes on it, but that's just my personal preference. It was well fried and pillowy soft as well as crunchy. The sauce was really tasty. The salmon carpaccio was okay. Next time I would ask they not add the truffle oil. I felt like it took away from the flavor a bit. The radish micro greens were a nice spicy touch. We also tried a new roll this time, the climax roll. It was good. Spicy, sweet and crunchy. Again it was a nice sized roll. We love this spot and we come to eat here whenever we are in the area.

It was the end of the day, so the place wasn't the cleanest, but it wasn't nasty, just unbussed tables, a dirty tablecloth, and a bit of food on the floor. Service was standard and sufficient. We ordered the spicy tuna handroll, hamachi maki, salmon thing, pork gyoza, and carlos roll (minus avocado) cuz i was curious about the chicken beef shrimp combo. Most of the food was decent, though they used imitation crab instead of fresh crab, surprisingly, since the restaurant is located so close to the water. The carlos roll wasn't great. The texture was definitely different (I was fine with it, but my bf couldn't even eat it), and the meats were a bit dry. Unique for sure, but not exactly the most appealing. Our favorite items were the salmon thing, pork gyoza, and spicy hamachi handroll. Nothing too special, but the taste was better than the rest.
