Best Japanese authentic food in north America! My japanese husband is always amazed by the quality of the food (he's super picky & particular so that's high praise coming from him). The staff is super nice as well! I recommend the shabu set for 2 people & the sake miso udon. Amazing food!! We love you!

relaxed little sushi spot I went to for the first time since it moved from the old Katsura. Our friends are not huge sushi fans but loved the steak on their daily specials which seem to generally be good deals. They also shared a sukiyaki that they are still talking about. My date & I had an assortmentof sushi that as an ex-vancouverite I can say was all very skillfully preparded & fresh.
