It included choice of chicken teriyaki or burdock with beef (we got the burdock, so flavorful!), salad, miso soup, broccoli appetizer (I think this was a complimentary add on from the adorable owner Mama San), full sized tempura, 3 piece California roll, albacore sashimi, entree, and 1 piece mochi. We didn't realize how generous the portions were, so also ordered the tonkatsu for our party of 2, which I had to take home. The special combo was definitely enough for 2 hungry people and highly recommend! Mama San and her son were gracious hosts as usual, and the ambiance was cozy and comforting.

Would recommend getting here around 5-5:30pm on a weekend for dinner to avoid a wait. Service was polite and attentive. The eats and drink: Chicken curry: Had a nice complex flavor, the squash was kind of topped on the dish rather than cooked inside it. Overall it was a good dish, but for me it could have used a bit more spice. 4/5 Garlic noodles: didn't taste enough like garlic, was kind of bland to be honest. 2/5 Jasmine iced tea: too strong, it was bitter 2/5 Samosa: was a bit oily, not that flavorful. Not bad, but not noteworthy. 3/5 Chicken wings: This was the best thing I had here. Good flavor, could have used a bit more kick. The chicken was cooked well and had a great crisp to it. 4/5 Tofu stir fry: good variety and amount of vegetables, cooked well. But overall pretty bland. The staff gave us 2 different hot sauces since we asked for a bit more spice, one of them which was the house special was a bit too watery and heavy on the vinegar flavor. The other one was chopped chilis in an oil base, but was not very spreadable. Would have preferred a paste/sauce-style option as well. The restaurant itself is clean and has nice seating inside and outside. They did a nice job making the space feel comfortable and casual rather than overly fancy.

Was very excited to try this place…read more Arrived at around 11:50. We had dogs with us so we were waiting to be sat outside, the server made eye contact from inside, but only came to greet us after we waited a few minutes and finally called out to her from the doorway. After being seated and given menus, we waited another 10 min with no service, and I decided to walk in and wash my hands. On my way out of the restroom, the server was finishing chatting with the only customer inside of the restaurant. I asked if we could have some water brought to the table, and she nodded. 5 min or so after I asked her for the water, the customer who was inside was walking out, and we chatted for a bit. Come to find out the sushi chefs and kitchen staff were not available due to the traffic on the freeway. I was in the same traffic, and I knew it was really bad. That was not the issue. The server never came out to our table. She never told us what was going on. We were left hanging for almost 20 min with zero contact, other than dropping the menus, and requesting waters that we never recieved. At an empty restaurant. There was no notice posted out front, there was nothing said from the server. If I was stopping in during a lunch break, I would not have been able to dine elsewhere due to the time I wasted sitting at this place waiting for service. All it took was for the server to let us know the situation and I would have tried to come back some other time. There were 20 full minutes - plenty of opportunity - to make best of a bad situation, and none were taken. Absolutely unacceptable.

Yelp really needs to offer zero stars--or negative stars--for experiences like this…read more STAY AWAY. Terrible service, cold pre-made food, questionable seafood freshness, and a staff attitude that ruined a family birthday dinner. We came here for my sister-in-law's birthday during a weekend getaway. Our 5:30 p.m. reservation for party of 5 was easy because the restaurant was empty. We chose to sit outside since the weather was nice. At first, everything seemed fine. The waiter brought menus, dinnerware, cups, and water quickly and took our order in a reasonable amount of time. Then the food came out suspiciously fast. The chawanmushi was lukewarm, which is completely wrong for a steamed egg custard that should be served hot and freshly steamed. That made me wonder how much had been prepared too early and left sitting around. The chicken karaage, lemon salmon, tempura udon, agedashi tofu, sashimi, and nigiri sampler were all forgettable. At best, it was average Japanese food for an area with limited options. Worse, the fish had a noticeable "fishy" taste, which raised serious concerns about freshness or storage. The final item we ordered was Curry Tonkatsu, but regular tonkatsu came out instead. We left it untouched because we wanted to send it back or exchange it. By then, we were almost 40 minutes into dinner, everyone had run out of water, and the waiter still had not checked on us. When we finally saw him after another long disappearance, we asked him to come over and clarify the order. That is where the entire table lost its appetite. When we explained that we had ordered Curry Tonkatsu, the waiter became defensive and insisted, loudly and condescendingly, that he had asked whether we wanted curry and that we had said tonkatsu. My sister-in-law explained she said tonkatsu because the menu offered a choice between tonkatsu and chicken katsu, but he kept scolding her. The worst part? She apologized repeatedly--on her own birthday--while he doubled down and said, "Besides, we already made it." So we were supposed to accept the wrong order because the kitchen had already made it? There was zero ownership, zero hospitality, and zero professionalism. My husband asked if we could at least get a side of curry, and we also asked for water. The waiter left and did not return for another 20 minutes. When he finally came back outside, he served the large table next to us first. By the time he reached us, the pitcher ran out, so only three of five people got water. We had to share what little we received before he returned again. The curry side did not arrive until about half an hour after we asked for it. When it finally came out, it was cold and served in a plain white bowl. Either it had been made far too early and left out, or they are microwaving pre-made food for guests. By then, the meal was already ruined. At that point, we just wanted to pay and leave. Everyone was still hungry, but no one had an appetite after being talked down to, ignored, left without water on a hot summer evening, and made to feel punished for questioning a wrong order. The waiter never checked on us again, so we went inside to pay at the register ourselves. As we left, we passed him, and he did not acknowledge us at all. Maybe this place gets a pass because the area has limited Japanese options, but calling it an izakaya is a joke. The food was mediocre at best, and the service was worse than anything I have experienced at far more ordinary restaurants in the midwest like IOWA or MINNESOTA. I will never come back, and I will warn others. Cold food that tasted pre-made or microwaved, seafood that raised freshness concerns, non-existent service, water treated like a luxury, and a waiter more interested in proving a point than fixing a problem. I am genuinely appalled. Avoid this place.

Their lunch and dinner menu are different, if you want Ramen you need to go for lunch. Dinner options mostly sashimi and sushi. A quaint place and could get busy for dinner on weekend so recommended reservation to avoid the wait. The ramen was a tad bit cooked so I asked for aldente the second time we visited and it was just perfect. We enjoyed all our dishes, the omakase lunch is a great deal. The softshell crab salad with wasabi dressing was great. We tried both the tomatoes broth and garlic tonkasu brotth both were equally great so all depends on your mood. The aburi nigiri is a must try. Overall, we would come here if we are in the area and wanted a good nigiri. Great service too smaller interior you will sit close to your neighbors, sit outside if you want a bit more space.

The restaurant doesn't allow modifications, which was one reason we waited until now to try, since both of us have food allergies. We selected the miso soup (my husband said it was difficult and he liked it, but has had better), the seaweed salad (I loved it-clean and not dripping with dressing), four types of sashimi (all very flavorful and fresh), and two rolls (ocean, and soft shell crab). The soft shell crab was delicious and the ocean was very good. The outside patio will be our next destination. Everyone was very nice and friendly. We're looking forward to trying a meal in the patio soon.

I ordered the fish and chips, with a green salad instead of fries (aka chips), and a gin and tonic. The meal was perfect. The salad was fresh, lightly dressed.

My only disappointment in the meal was the g-and-t. I expect tonic to be carbonated, and there was zero effervescence in my drink. I didn't send it back, so that's on me. A person at the table across from me ordered the taco trio and those looked scrumptious. Maybe next time... I would definitely go back, and just be more assertive about my cocktail. Very good food.

I was in Mill Valley for the first time this past week for a project I was working. My hotel was…read morewithin walking distance of this huge plaza full of restaurants and I was so hungry after 12 hours of work that I just wanted to find the first place to eat. I love fish, and I went into Pacific Catch, it has a nice atmosphere. When I walked in there were two other guys in front of me with their phone out in their hands and showing they were for pickup. After they got their orders, I was next in line, I smiled and said hi, the host who was this young guy didn't even say hello, but had the audacity to think I am some delivery guy like the other two guys in front of me. That really put me off was. I am an IT engineer; I had just left the site I was working and was wearing my work cargo pants and a Tshirt. I don't know what gave this jerk the impression I was there for a pickup, but I replied, NO I am here to eat and get a table. He then with the same miserable expression, reluctantly walked me to a single table, I asked for a larger like a boot and he replied in a rude tone " No, we need those for a larger crowd". That was not accurate as I saw two others sitting alone at a booth. He then threw the menu on the table and walked off. If I wasn't so tired, exhausted, and hungry, I would have walked out and said something to the manager about this jerk on my way out, but I decided to stay. The server came and even he had a weird attitude; I just ordered the food and it came pretty quickly. The Clam chowder soup was just amazing; so was the Salmon sandwich and the house salad was just more amazing. I travel around the country, I eat at many restaurants, and rarely I felt the entire three-course meal to be this good and it was a home run on everything I eat. This was the best meal of my arrival trip that night. On my way out I went to the other female hostess and I asked if I could speak to her in private. She was nice and polite and I told her about this other rude host and how I was treated by him. I saw him looking at me from behind the bar with two other waiters. The hostess assured me she would address the issue with management about him. As I was leaving, this jerk continued looking at me with a smirk on his face, and I then said "You should really work on how you speak to people". He then started laughing and made some comment that I didn't hear and all I heard was loud laughter from all 3 of the like the 3 stooges. I had no issue with the other two staff, and I didn't understand why they felt it was ok to laugh at a paying customer. It ugly after that, and I did address it with one of the owners the next day on the phone about what happened. I even went back the second night in a row, only because of the food, and I was assured that that host won't be there. In the end, the food is what wins; this place has amazing gourmet food, and regardless of the poor service, I still think its one of the best restaurants I have eat at. I would have given it 5 stars if it wasn't for that incident.
