As a Japanese-born foodie, I would highly recommend this restaurant. This was my first time going, and I would definitely go back again.
Service is so-so, but I think we went at a fairly busy time, and reservations are highly recommended. Plan on spending a fair amount of time, and don't be too concerned if the service is a little slow. I would rather spend time and enjoy the food anyway.
Have the agedashi tofu, asparagus bacon, buttered scallops, beef tataki, enoki bacon, deep fried chicken (boneless), even the miso soup was great too with nameko.
