Suggestions for Japanese Restaurant near Japantown, San Francisco

Dave J. • April 16, 2015Some of the dishes are Western influenced Japanese food and it's so good and comforting.

Carrie C. • November 10, 2020The ramen is fantastic!! Great presentation and lovely outdoor seating in the sun for lunch. Will definitely be coming back to try the rest of the menu.

Time Out San Francisco • February 22, 2018Start with a smattering of the kushiyaki, $4 a la carte bites like Kobe beef or obi, then follow up with sashimi picks like the bonito tatami: seared skipjack with onions, tobiko, and ponzu.

Chelsea Q. • November 21, 2021Sushi is so good for the price range

Wesley O. • August 12, 201712 pieces of sashimi, soft shell crab and the black garlic ramen were delicious

Christopher L. • February 22, 2015Get any ramen with pork belly on it; the pork belly is amazing.

Melissa D. • January 7, 2017Delicious new spot to add to my rotating list of ramen joints. Ordered the Hinodeya Ramen. The dashi broth was delicious - light but very full of flavor. Will try their Tori Paitan next.

Henry T. • June 10, 2019Arguably best ramen in SF (that and Mensho)

J L. • August 6, 2014Delicious lunch special with a good deal on the amount of food you get. One of my favorite ramen places in SF so far.

Bora B. • May 23, 2016I just ordered Spicy Hibachi Chicken which was really spicy but the Japanese Chef kept supplying side-dishes, even some shrimps to our plates just from the grill😉 great food, great show👍

Nino E. • October 4, 2014Really nice place, surprised to see it tucked in a quiet corner across from Kinokuniya. The food was excellent, the oyako donburi tasted delicious, as did the Uni Ikura and crab donburi with Udon!

Connie C. • August 14, 2018Delicious omkase with a flair! Really unique combinations and flavor accents, like gold flakes, herbs, foie gras, etc on traditional sushi. Small station but great chefs. Def do the 12 piece.

Nikhil C. • February 18, 2019Absolutely the best place for Japanese curry in the city. This place serves the lesser know Japanese food, very authentic and has a friendly staff. Family owned and run. Expect a wait on weekends.

Nicolas R. • February 20, 2016Omakase and don't look back, wow! Typical, the best spots are always the tiny hidden ones that you'd never expect. Best sushi in the Bay Area, period.

Bobbie M. • July 19, 2017Karage and the spicy tonkotsu ramen were both very good. Large portions. Broth and noodles definitely not going to beat the best in the city but good overall.

Kris L. • November 8, 2011Love the #1 lunch special - miso (or shoyu) ramen w/ side of chirashi. And don't forget a bottle of Hana Awaka!

Hannah C. • September 4, 2016yaki udon recommended

Jinnie L. • February 3, 2015they have pretty tasty okonomiyaki ;) love it!!! great place to hang out with friends n drink some sake~~

Puu K. • February 11, 2015Amaebi (raw shrimp) was the most amazing thing I had there. The nigiri (uni) was also awesome.

Jesse M. • October 21, 2012Sake and karaoke

J J. • February 17Very limited menu; strictly a Japanese chicken kabob place. They do a vegetarian dish (not quite vegan bc of chicken broth soup) and it’s excellent
