"Authentic Japanese Izakaya. Must order: Salmon Chazuke, grilled jumble shrimp, fried baby octopus, chef sashimi…."
A Japanese friend recommended this spot and it definitely did not disappoint. Japanese owned and operated. I knew this place was going to be good when I arrived for Saturday around noon and the place was packed. Everything from the appetizers, nigiri and Japanese entrees were on point. My friends and I loved the fatty salmon belly, ikura, uni, chutoro and yellowtail nigiri. The fish was buttery and at a premium price the uni and salmon belly were so worth it. The fish was so fresh and yummy we had to order a 2nd round. The tekka tuna don, katsu don hokke shioyaki teishoku and the katsu curry were delicious entrees.

While they often seem to be closed when I'm in the area, when the timing finally works out, it truly is a delightful experience!

This place is great. It’s small and has an authentic feel. The staff is very nice and attentive. I didn’t think the sushi was particularly outstanding, but it wasn’t bad by any means. The tonkatsu ramen had the most delicious broth I have ever tasted. The chashu pork and egg were both somewhat plain, but even so, I would say that it was some of the best ramen I have ever had. Would definitely recommend this place for a nice, cozy meal.
Sushi Sashimi Lunch. Absolutely delicious. The staff was speaking Japanese, so you know it’s the real deal. I heard about this restaurant when it first opened and had been wanting to try it for a while. It definitely lived up to my expectations. I'm really pleased to see that there are still authentic, Japanese-owned and operated restaurants that are affordable in the DMV area.

This place is too cozy and I loved it. It has this home-made food vibe. Sushi's are amazing, this is what I tried, and I can't wait to try other things on menu. It is a hidden gem in Fairfax, absolutely recommend if you like Japanese cuisine that is good and reasonably priced. Well done guys, and will see you soon.
I really love visiting this charming little restaurant. I’ve been coming here since my college days and have always enjoyed the food, along with the friendly service. On my latest visit, I tried their Kaiseki meal, and I absolutely loved it! I can't wait to return and sample the other set meals as well!
