"This is one of the best restaurants my family and I have visited. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's great to watch the chefs cook right in front of you. I absolutely love the food; everything has an amazing flavor. If you're looking for a place to dine with your family or colleagues, this is the perfect spot. The presentation of the dishes is also impressive. I highly recommend this place for celebrating special occasions as well!"

"I ordered takeout from this restaurant, and the cashier was incredibly friendly. I chose this place because it's conveniently close to home. Unfortunately, the food was a big letdown. Based on the reviews, I decided to try the pad Thai, but it turned out to be tasteless, and the chicken was tough and overcooked. The crab Rangoon was also surprisingly bland—my favorites are from Mai Le or the lobster Rangoon at Kobe. I also ordered the squid and vegetable tempura, but it was completely lacking in flavor. It tasted like just fried vegetables with plain flour—no tempura crunch whatsoever, just flour. While the tempura sauce helped a bit, the overall blandness was unavoidable. The squid had a rubbery texture that was difficult to chew and tasted like it had been freezer burned. I haven't tried their sushi yet, but I'm hesitant after this experience. I will most likely head to Thai Sawadee the next time I'm in the mood for Thai food."

"I visited for the first time on a Wednesday evening at 6:30 PM in late July. The restaurant was quite busy, with only two servers and one host/cashier on duty. There was a long wait to place our orders, followed by an even longer wait for our food. One dish, the Teriyaki Steak, was served 7 to 10 minutes after our three other Chinese entrees. Unfortunately, the Teriyaki Steak was tough and lacked flavor, while both the Lo Mein and Cashew Chicken had average taste and quality. At over $15, the meal felt like a poor value. I likely won't be returning."

"My partner and I got in line on a Saturday night at 10:30 and waited probably 45 minutes to get in. We could hear the music from the stairs outside and knew it was worth the wait. The two item minimum is a fair and reasonable price no matter where you go, but especially in Manhattan. We were first seated at the only spots available when we walked in, two spots at the bar, behind a wall. But after walking through the rain and waiting in line, we didn't mind. I considered asking our server if we could move when other chairs opened up, but he beat me to the punch and moved us right next to the music. My partner tried 3 different sakes and enjoyed them all, and I was a big fan of the lemon drops. We also got the octopus with wasabi and chikuwa with mozzarella cheese, and we could not recommend these more. The wasabi had a nice kick but wasn't unbearable, and this is coming from someone who didn't enjoy wasabi until now. And the chikuwa was delicate and delicious. Our server said it was his favorite on the menu and we can definitely see why. Tomi Jazz is worth the wait and it's gonna be at the top of our list whenever we're in the area again."

"The dish itself was lacking in flavor; this was not the Japanese curry I am familiar with. Frankly, I could make a curry with more depth of flavor at home. I felt misled. My boyfriend was also dissatisfied with his fish dinner, mentioning that it seemed overcooked. I even suggested another dish for him as well. Overall, it was a significant disappointment. I also noticed that the decorative counter light was turned off — were you preparing to close early? It feels quite rude and unwelcoming to dim the lights during operating hours, making the atmosphere too dark. I thought I heard rap music playing, which isn’t exactly relaxing or in keeping with the traditional vibe one would expect. Lastly, the condition of the bathroom was unacceptable; it was quite off-putting. Perhaps you could allocate some of your menu prices toward improving cleanliness? We are understanding, kind, and humble people, and I urge you to address these issues promptly. Thank you! P.S. Given my dietary restrictions, I may need to contact the health department."

"This is the real deal the only top notch sushi in the Palm Springs area. I stumbled in by happenstance on a Wednesday night without a reservation and since I was dining alone I snagged the only individual seat at the bar. It's popular with locals and the way I noticed it was driving by at 5:00 there was a line of older people waiting to get in right when they opened the doors. Good sign. Service was a bit dictatorial probably because it was so busy and they had to keep things moving but the host (maybe wife and owner) was nice even though she was firm. She just had a ton of patrons to manage. I saw 5 10 parties get turned away since no resy for the short time I waited for my spot to clear. Sushi bar it took a while to eat since they were so busy. Chefs had their hands full. Also full menu is not available at the sushi bar. On to the sushi excellent fish. Right up there with best I've had at some of the high end sushi restaurants on either coast all in an unassuming old school atmosphere. Nothing fancy but yellowtail, tuna, aji, ikura, uni, mackerel, sweet shrimp were all wonderful. The uni was very special. I also loved my negihama roll. Oh expect to pay handsomely for what you get. Take out pork tonkatsu was good also especially after crisping it up in a toaster oven. Had a delicious hot mustard along with the sweet sauce. Don't go here if you're looking for a Philly cheese roll. There's another restaurant somewhere else for that kind of sushi. Go here for great nigiri and the old standbys."

"I've sampled more vegan ramen than I should willingly admit to, and this is by far the best. The broth is rich and flavorful and the bowls are filled with delicious veg (especially love it when they grill the bok choy) and some Upton's seitan. It's incredibly filling and satisfying. They also have a couple of next-level vegan sushi rolls the hot yogi vegan and the vegan ceviche maki. The menu has quite a few other vegan options that are easy to spot, but these are my recommendations. This place can get busy really fast, especially when it's nice and cold out. I recommend going around 6-6:30 on a weeknight as there can be a line out the door at times. This place is also BYOB! EDIT: they no longer serve sushi, but they have added a Vegan Poke Bowl that is amazing! It's also bar service now so no more BYOB."

"First time coming to this historic restaurant. We got there at 11:45pm on a Tuesday, close to kitchen closing. The manager was the nicest guy, greeting us with a smile and said if your hungry we will keep the kitchen open for you. Thinking it was an Irish bar I was surprised when he offered the best shrimp cocktail or oysters, Clams on the half shell. He also recommended the best pint of Guinness. We took him up on his Guinness. It was the best Guinness I ever had, creamy and fresh I highly recommend it. Next I ordered the clams on the half shell. I was shocked how good and fresh they were . We also got the shrimp cocktail it was huge, the biggest shrimp I had seen. My main was the beer battered Fish and chips. Again , it was cooked perfectly with a delightful crunch and flaky fish inside. I never expected this kind of quality food at midnight. We all were full and happy at the end of out meal. You can't go wrong here, can't wait to go back again soon."

"Fantastic food! You'll be surprised to find anything you order on the menu are outstanding. Great vibe too, chef cooks yakitori on the kitchen counter. It feels as if you're in Japan.Some of personal favorites: Takowasabi, Agedashi Tofu, Tokoyaki, Fried Squid Legs, and Ochazuke! You don't see places that have Tokowasabi or Ochazuke that often, but this place serves delicious ones too.Would recommend calling in to book a table as it can get busy.Parking: About 7-10 parking spaces in front of the restaurant, seems to be just the right amount for people dining in. Tight space."

"I absolutely adore sushi, and was thrilled when we decided to celebrate my birthday at Momoyama. The sashimi and sushi were absolutely delightful, with incredibly fresh fish - something I have missed. Everything was so satisfying. The Momoyama roll was outstanding. Their green tea ice cream is imported from Japan. Both my husband and I were big fans of the matcha creme brulee. The waitress was extremely friendly and attentive. This meal was perfect for my birthday, and I am disappointed that we do not live closer to this restaurant because it would definitely become a new favorite spot for us to visit regularly."

"This is a small establishment just off Robson on Thurlow St. We didn't have reservations but we arrived just before they opened on Friday at 5pm and there was already a small crowd waiting for the doors to open. Getting there early when you don't have reservations is your best bet for getting in as otherwise the place fills up fast. Thankfully they have lots of sushi-bar seating which is where most walk-ins were seated. Since we had a baby (and stroller) in tow, we were seated at one of the tables and told we could have it for two hours before it was booked for a reservation. No problem!The menu is small but concise and daily specials offered.Here's what we tried:- Yellowtail Tuna: 4 pieces of super fresh yummy tuna- Chicken Karaage: a small plate of freshly fried pieces of chicken. Yum!- Ebi mayo: loved the cook on these shrimp - they were still juicy and perfectly done. Although I wish the coating was more crispy but I can see how it becomes a trade-off. The spicy mayo sauce is excellent.- Sashimi Salad: fresh pieces of scallop, salmon and I think mackerel were served on a bed of mixed greens topped with a house dressing. Loved the freshness once again of the sashimi pieces. The salad was nice as well albeit a bit overdressed in my opinion.- Grilled pork cheeks: the most disappointing of dishes. Not that it was bad, but it was nothing special. I thought the cheeks would be more tender but they were tough and chewy.- Beef tataki: thicker cuts of beef perfectly seared and served with a delightful sauce.My husband thoroughly enjoyed eating here (his first time!) and I've been here a few times already on previous trips. All in all a solid 4.5 star meal. Service was prompt. All the employees take part in greeting customers as they arrive so it can get loud - they also shout out orders to the chefs. So be forewarned if you happen to have a sleeping baby in tow (like we did)."

"Reservations are recommended for this relatively small restaurant. Apparently they wanted to expand, but the city imposed conditions that seemed excessive. I arrived on a Wednesday night and waited in a crowded entry way with no seating. And the place highlights meat offerings. It's worth it. First, ask for the vegetarian/vegan menu. It's separate. Vegan offerings are in the yellow section in the middle. I had the earthy oco, a pie-like concoction filled with noodles and mushrooms. It was amazing. A side of grilled potatoes was seasoned to perfection. For dessert, I had a chocolate macadamia cake. I ate, and ate well. Apart from getting reservations, my one caution would be about parking. I arrived late enough in the evening that it wasn't a problem and I didn't need to look around to see what options exist. During the day, however, I can see how it might be much more difficult."

"I personally think that restaurant business is not only for grocery business, but also and more human business. Why? If it's just for grocery business, you don't have to make up, dress well and go there. You just stay at home, carry PJs and leave your favorite food delivered. If I need to see someone and talk, I want to go out somewhere with beautifully designed interiors, quiet nice music, good food and drinks and good service. TEISUI is perfect for it. Your menu is very creative; made by Chef Mr. Taguchi, who is always behind sushi counters. The place is perfect size for Mr. Taguchi to watch his customers enjoy his food. Recently, I began to try his sushi, but I've gone the restaurant quite often. I thought I knew Sushi very well, but I was wrong. As he prepares his fish for sushi, a new discovery was for me. He ages some fish for 3 or 5 days, depending on what kind. I had matured for 5 days Jack nigiri Sushi. It was only OMG Sushi. Sweet fish fat, sufficient chewiness, flower like taste, WOW! every bite was mouthwater. The notes of this restaurant are not just the sushi. The OMOTENASHI server (Japanese word for hospitality is really excellent. I became a great fan of this restaurant and can rely on any special occasion; e.g. birthday, guests from Japan or other countries or meeting for boys to be friend!!"

"We (16 family members visiting from 4-6 times per year have been dining at Ron of Japan since the late 1970’s. Over the years we’ve noticed some changes unfortunately for the worse. Removing bean sprouts from the Crown diners being one. Our most recent visit on August 24, 2024 was a visit that really set us back. 3 of us dined at a table. The serving size of vegetables was about half the amount we usually receive. The once loved “Egg sauce” was not the same color or texture or flavor. The shrimp appeared smaller too! All of this with pricing going up but food/quality going down. Such a sad/demise to a once lovely restaurant. The gentleman who dined with us agreed with our assessment as he also was a long time diner. We will try one more time and if we don’t see an improvement we’ll sadly NOT be returning."

"This restaurant is a local favorite that I had not had the opportunity to explore until recently. I heard there is usually a waiting period of 10 minutes, but after we found road parking, we didn't have to wait at all! On Saturday, 27th August, at dinner even, we were greeted directly in! The ambience is very theatrical/kozy/western. I loved the warm lighting, high ceilings and vintage decoration. We sat at the bar and were immediately greeted by the MOST friendly, professional and PATIENT bartender I've ever met. It took some time to come for our food, but if it was EVERYTHING we would have wanted!! The veggie onigiri was balanced, light perfection. The Tofu skewer was so crisp, but still so silky/melt in your mouth that even this vegetarian did not want to believe it was real! And finally, after a dry/good balanced bottle of white wine recommended by our bartender, our last dish arrived. The veggie udon noodles were plump, drown in the most tasty, tasty herbs/garese broth can be imagined! Then I used the toilet room that was easy to find and very clean. Our tab was worth every penny, our experience: unpaid. If you are looking to treat yourself to excellence, or are on a date, this place is the perfect setting!!"

"### Final Verdict: I cannot recommend this place at all. There was nothing that I found worthwhile, and I regret spending $50 on two disappointing desserts. I wish someone had warned me before I went, as social media is filled with misleading reviews. There are plenty of other places with better, more affordable desserts that also offer an attractive atmosphere. Unfortunately, Cha An offers neither, but charges high prices, which feels like a total rip-off. ### Detailed Review: I had a very disappointing experience here. After a long day out with family, we were exhausted and eagerly looked forward to resting. When we arrived, we had to wait over 15 minutes to be seated around 6:30 PM on a Saturday, despite seeing an open two-seater table right in front of us. Numerous waitstaff walked by us multiple times, completely ignoring our presence. One staff member even brushed past me and my brother without a word, which felt incredibly rude. After 15 minutes, when they finally decided to seat us, they placed us at the exact table I had been watching the whole time, leaving me frustrated and wishing I had been given some indication of the wait time. I understand that restaurants can be busy, but a simple greeting or an estimated wait time would have been appreciated. It's not difficult to say, "Just a moment," yet we were left without any communication, despite spending $50 on just two desserts. Next came the food, which was quite disappointing. I ordered a black sesame crème brûlée, but I have no idea where the "brûlée" part was—it resembled more of a melted ice cream blended into pudding, lacking the signature burnt sugar crust. It wasn't terrible, but it was far from the classic dessert I expected. Then there was the matcha parfait, which was just plain disappointing. I found myself looking up parfait glasses on Amazon, thinking I could create something far superior at home. The ice cream tasted like low-quality grocery store brand, the red bean was overly sweet, and the entire combination failed to come together. Honestly, it was not worth the $20 price tag. To make matters worse, the wafer on top of both desserts was stale—there was no crunch, just a chewy texture that detracted from the overall experience. In conclusion, I strongly recommend avoiding this place and spending your money somewhere else."
