"Nippon is a genuine Japanese restaurant where you can savor a satisfying meal with attentive service in a charming ambiance. While the prices of the food and drinks may seem a bit high for what you receive, you are paying for the overall dining experience. Our order included a Yellowtail Scallion Roll for $9, Tempura S for $18, and Sukiyaki L for $39, along with a Sake carafe for over $30 and a glass of plum wine, totaling close to $150 for two people. This is not your everyday dining spot unless you have the budget for it. The service and atmosphere, however, were exceptional. Despite arriving 30 minutes early for our reservation, the staff warmly welcomed us and promptly seated us in a cozy dining area separated from other patrons. This private setting allowed us to enjoy our meal peacefully. The staff was knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the portions of the different dish sizes. The food was good overall, although the portion sizes may not entirely justify the prices. The Sushi roll was tasty but nothing extraordinary, while the Tempura assortment was enjoyable, especially with the flavorful dipping sauce. The Sukiyaki broth was sweet and delicious, enhancing the flavors of the tofu and vegetables in the dish. The white rice was authentic, resembling what one would find in a typical Japanese household. The meat in the Sukiyaki was a bit tough, and it did not come with raw eggs for dipping, as is customary. I recommend Nippon for a lovely and intimate meal with family or in a professional setting where you can enjoy your meal in a serene environment with attentive service."
