Uni with soft boiled egg, grilled yellowtail collar, crispy rice balls were standouts. Be warned: huge portions for izakaya.

Love this place: favs are salmon carpaccio, pork belly salad, agadashi tofu, shrimp tempura, gyoza, cuke salad to name a few things.

The grill here is awesome. It's fueled by wood charcoal and adds amazing flavor to anything cooked on it. It also helps that they cook everything perfectly! Korean BBQ and Pork belly are the best :-)

Almost everything is great here. Start with clam ramen, crispy onigiri, and sushi salad.

Curry Rice with Cheese and Stir Fry Yakisoba! Great Japanese food but extremely poor service.

Berkshire pork bowl is the best! Make sure you mix in the egg with the rice -- super yummy

All of our food was served at different times. The food was standard and the service was terrible. When we got the bill, they wrote in a 40% tip themselves without even telling us before hand.

Tako salad is good!!! (May need to ask for it since it may not be in the menu)

Definitely make a reservation even if you plan to arrive before they open. According to waiter, they are not affiliated with Tanto, the restaurant that used to be at this location.

Get the ramen here! Kimchi/pork ramen (off menu) and clam ramen.

Awesome pork and kimchee ramen!

Spicy karaage, salmon clay pot, okonomiyaki were all disappointing. Only good thing was the yaki onigiri.

So good! Skip the sushi rolls though

Get the yaki onigiri! So delicious

Service was kind of meh. Since they were already billing a tip (18% for a party of 5+), they neglected us and only came by with the bill (they even skipped two of our orders).

Formerly Tanto. Menu is pretty much the same. Asari Ramen & Kuro-Buta-Meshi are delish!

Seriously, make a reservation. They ran out of uni at 8:30 on a Sunday night. That was unfortunate...
