| - This was the happiest surprise gem of a restaurant! The rich, deep, hearty miso soup was the best I've had. The thin, crisp, succulent tempura is good enough to knock your socks off. Twice. California rolls were dainty and appetizing. Even the soy sauce was served in soy pots, and the ginger had a nuance I've never tasted before. Here's where it gets interesting: the triple S roll was delicious with a little kick. I thought it would be my favorite, but things only got better from there. Chef brought out their specialty yellowtail dish, which was beautifully cut, topped with a subtle-tasting micro cilantro, and thinly sliced tempura Serrano. The light dressing had a clean taste, and this will no doubt be a favorite of mine when the heat strikes in summer. Chef also brought garlic tuna tetake, which was perfectly seasoned and had a delightful crunchy garnish. It all was so good, my mom and husband, who don't eat much fish, liked it. My dad ordered a rainbow roll for dessert (also excellent). The real dessert menu was refreshing for a Japanese restaurant. We shared a chocolate mousse cake, and that was a mistake; sharing, that is. This caliber of food is something you'd find in a Michelin star restaurant. However, the prices are affordable. The atmosphere is welcoming and pleasant, not too fussy. The staff and chef made the whole experience all the more enjoyable. They were very accommodating with our two small children and offered to rearrange the chairs to ensure our comfort. A winning combination of high quality food, fair price, great service, cleanliness (they wiped our tables before dessert), I could go on, but will spare you for now. Go see for yourself, you won't regret it.
