We went out as a party of 4. We got a private table. We had absolutely delicious sushi. All the food was high quality. I highly recommend bizen for a special occasion. They also have an excellent selection of wine and cocktails.

Sushi and noodles were fresh and tasty. Fresh fish is flown in and used at this finest establishment. I was not too crazy about their Ginger Chicken, The chicken was tuff and big cuts with little taste of ginger.

Very excellent food, multiple types of Toro, my kind of place. A little too fancy for my pre-teen who is used to Japanese dishes being less fancy

I'm giving 4/5 stars not 5, because the hot food (soups, noodles) I find not very interesting compared to other places. But all of their sushi combos, rolls, warm apetizers are delicious. I love the peanut/tofu apetizers and we always get edamame. The hot sake is super good too. It always feels like a treat to dine here, even when it's crowded and we have to wait a while for our order.

Other ratings say that they’re inconsistent with the food and the service is sometimes bad. Never really had any issues though, however it sometimes takes a while to be served. The food is always great though. Recommend the shrimp katsu, they do a great job with the sauce. Their traditional green tea makes a nice drink. Their menu has more than enough to choose from. I recommend coming here if you’re in the area

This is the greatest vegetarian sushi I have ever had! So beautifully presented and delightful! I had the special Busking Roll which included tempeh and micro greens. It was unbelievable! I also had the Vegetable Tempura which included a very large mushroom and also a red pepper -- unusual and delicious! The service was excellent! We ate outside and it was wonderful. Note about unique restroom: The restroom is decorated with such a beautiful tile and such that you really felt serene in there -- must be a Shinto-based philosophy because the tile was on all the walls and it was a beautiful stone with lots of texture and subtle colors. I felt supported by these rocks in a very subtle way. I usually don't care about things like that, but it was just so lovely and full of feeling! Unique!

Delicious more authentic Japanese food. Appreciate that the tempura came with daikon and ginger, and the dashi was just better than most run of the mill places. Inside they have traditional seating on tatamis. Sushi was fresh.

The atmosphere is extremely inviting and friendly. It is absolutely some of the best Japanese food I have ever had. The sea bass was exquisite. The crispy outside and the center melted in my mouth. This is a must stop. The waitress was very helpful and friendly. Stop by today!

I had the grilled salmon with the buckwheat noodles and iced green tea and green tea ice cream. It was 98 degrees in the shade and we opted for outside seats.The server advised my husband and I on menu choice. She was very friendly and had a pleasent personality. The food portons filled us up and the Japanese decor was classic Japanese with traditional seating and ground to floor stone. It was a perfect location to people watch and the servers included persons of many different backgrounds. I said EXTRA ICE Please for a hot day and a fabulous meal.

What a hidden gem. I saw this place and thought you cant get good sea food this far inland. I was very wrong. Every bite was better than the last, I'm sure u could spend $1000 a head and find better Japanese food but this was the best I ever had. The best squid I've had, best seafood salad (spicy scallop and octopus), amazing seared tuna with horseradish sauce, and a monkfish pate to write home about. Fatty tuna and eel are on my list for next time. Service was good not great. I ate outside on a gorgeous summers eve and loved it but then saw the inside and cant wait to come back and eat in a traditional Japanese setting. Owners(I think) were so warm hearted. Must try!
