Wow, I'm surprised by the number of poor reviews this place has received. I've been here about 10 times, and I've never had anything but a great meal. The tempura is great. Shrimp are large and the batter is crisp and not greasy. The grilled beef is outstanding. Sushi is fresh. For less than $15, I get a meal that I can barely finish (and I can eat you under the table).
The room is a bit tight for space and the neighbourhood is busy so there's a lot of traffic, but other than that, I have no complaints. I've been going to a number of other Japanese places lately, and the more I dine elsewhere, the more I appreciate this crowded little place.
Last time I visited, they gave us a basket of calamari on the house. When my daughter visited recently, they gave her free edamame. Nice folks.
