"This little hole in the wall restaurant in Japantown was a pleasant surprise. Having lived in Seattle for so long, I've passed by it many times, but I never thought I'd find such a solid Japanese restaurant. It's larger inside than the outside facade lets on, and has plenty of space for small to medium sized parties. There's even a bar area that was pretty active on a Saturday night. Overall ambiance was what you'd expect from an area in Chinatown, nothing fancy. Just a relaxed, well kept area that's obviously seen many patrons over the years. Don't bring your high brow in here. Food was pretty solid. We had a pretty decent spread of the menu; Tried the grilled saba, chirashi, tempura, karaage, agedashi tofu, obento, takoyaki... overall, everyone was pretty satisfied with their dishes. I enjoyed the tempura and takoyaki in particular (but be careful with the takoyaki because they come out hot! . Grilled saba was OK, I'd pass on that. Obento had A LOT of food. Great for big eaters. We also enjoyed their warm house sake. Overall, I would say that we had a great night out and enjoyed the meal. Recommend if you're in the area and looking for some decent Japanese food!"
