Oyaji

Delicious, good portions and value for money (~$8.50 for the dons). Tempura included the delightful surprise of a shishito pepper (a rare spicy one at that!) which is not often found elsewhere. It is proper well executed tempura. Pork katsu was also very commendable for the moist thick cut. At lesser eateries katsus can be hard and rubbery. We were glad for the one set of chairs and table set up outside for us to scarf our food down before it got cold. Maximum social distancing with no one else being able to eat alongside, if you're lucky. 😉 Note that there's 4% card service charge so pay cash instead.

Great reasonable authentic Japanese ingredients. Finally found a go-to Japanese owned (I think) sushi place that has sushi and other options for non-sushi eaters. Nothing fancy about the rolls but the sushi and fish ratio is perfect. Salmon skin rolls have the pickled gobo, which is impossible to find anymore. The tempura includes shishito pepper and the kappa uses Japanese cucumbers. I'm so happy I got to try this place out.

This is one of the best sushi restaurants I’ve ever been to. The restaurant is small and on first glance their menu is very overwhelming kind of like the cheesecake factory with many pages, and many of the rolls have fried ingredients which was a turnoff at first. But there were options and everything I’ve had has been impressive. They also have a high number of vegetarian options. Everyone I have taken has been happy with what they got.

Masa steps to the plate and hits a grand slam with his new home. So thankful my favorite sushi chef moved back from Japan. He's probably going to hate me for saying this but try going in and just ask him to make you some delicious fare. Thanks for all the years of great sushi and shoju!!! Love ya my brother!!!

Masa and his family haven't missed a beat with the hand off from the original owner. The oyaji beef, croquettes, and other izakaya style plates are why I love this place. The Kakuni is so good it does sell out! If you go for sashimi or sushi, sit at the counter and ask for the chef's choice aka Omokase. It's always good and try the ichiko or the ask for a sajr recommendation.
