I just found my new favorite sushi spot!! Right here in uptown!…read more Rashad was an AMAZING server. He walked us through the menu, told us the ingredients, and was super helpful! My friend is vegan and they had an ENTIRE menu for her to choose from. She was soooo happy to have so many choices. And it was TASTY! Sometimes vegan food can be a bit sad lol, but not here! She had an amazing experience and the vegan dishes I tried were also delicious. I personally had the lobster roll and it was super tasty! We also had the edamame which was tasty too. I ordered a cocktail and it was well balanced and refreshing. The vibe in there is so chill and cute as well. Wonderful to hangout, have a date, or even a girls night. 10/10! Would come again to try more things on the menu. Bring your vegan friends! And I hope I'd get Rashad again as our server, he made our night! :)

The only thing that might throw you off at first are some of the names of the dishes on the menu, but don't let that get you! The high-quality cuts of fish and the flavor profiles are absolutely on point. For all my fellow sashimi lovers out there, they offer premium, quality cuts that you can order on their own. The freshness is unmatched. I highly recommend giving this place a try!

Went here for a family dinner. Went around the block three times looking for this place. They call…read moreit the hidden gem they are right. You park on the street the ally or next block and find out the address is in an alleyway. This place has been a family run mamasan old style old fashioned old school traditional iconic Japanese 70s art deco. A menu that is probably as old as the place. Prices that are soo below market. The menu pix are wrong prices up a whole buck. Full dinners starting at 13.95. Portions follow the pricing but the food is nostsolgic. I'm 70 years old remember the old days...the original Tokyo Lobby off San Gabriel blvd. The small but mighty creator made famous Japanese BOAT Eisaku restaurant rip Buena park. This review turns out to be a trip down memory lane. This place has probably created quite a few memories over the years. I recommend this place Senior friendly date friendly menu is very kid friendly. Not recommending for special occassions but every time you have a yen for some good old fashioned terryaki and tenpura hit this place. I'd be a regular but live over an hour away in the South bay where the traditions we grew up on are no more... Harrys gone Daisuki noodles gone Aloha terriyaki gone Teri Hawaii with original shaved ice closed. Eating at this place stirred up some old memories. I recommend this place for its longevity old school charm friendly service and good old fashioned comfort food. Easy on the wallet.

Last night we had the pleasure of visiting a true Uptown Whittier classic. My parents have been…read morecoming here since before my siblings and I were born, and it has always been our go‑to place for celebrations--or simply because we love it. We came in for an early Father's Day celebration, and Louis and Alan made the evening exceptional. They were attentive, respectful, and incredibly helpful with recommendations, taking the time to explain dishes and offer thoughtful suggestions. Their kindness and great conversation made our dinner even more enjoyable. Our family left with full hearts and happy tummies. We'll absolutely be back, as we always are.

Always a big plus when you walk into a sushi spot and immediately notice how fresh and inviting everything looks. The rolls tasted super fresh, and the sushi overall was really good, especially considering how affordable the prices are. They also have a monthly special as well as weekday specials, which makes this spot even more worth checking out. Definitely a solid option if you're looking for good sushi at an affordable price with great service!

SUCH A FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENT & AMAZING FOOD!…read more Food: 5/5 I really enjoyed the food! I have heard from plenty of Montebello locals that the food is great! I took my little butt down there and it's safe to say everyone was right! I absolutely loved their "paradise roll" and the shrimp and veggie tempura! I did order the "Spicy edamame" and it was probably the only thing that wasn't my favorite, but still good. I wish the sauce was a bit spicier and saltier? Haha. Service: 6/5 The employees seemed so happy, nice, and actually enjoyed their work environment, which is so nice to see. Pricing: 5/5 The pricing is pretty great and I love that you can eat sushi at an affordable price that actually tastes amazing. I spent about 30.00 and I'd say at other places it would have been about $10-11.00 more. All around: 6/5 I will be back! :)

My husband and I have been to this restaurant a handful of times, and we stopped by recently…read more We started off by ordering our drinks; I ordered Iced Green Tea while my husband had a Sapporo Beer. Both of our drinks tasted great and were refreshing. The Iced Green Tea also had free refills, which was nice. Next we ordered some appetizers; the Spicy Garlic Edamame (our usual) and the King Crab Bites (to try something new). The Spicy Garlic Edamame was tasty as usual and had a nice kick. My husband wasn't a fan of the King Crab Bites because he thought they could've used more flavor and the texture was off. Lastly, we ordered our entrees; I tried something new and ordered the Pork Curry Katsu while my husband had the Pork Cutlet Ramen (mild spice level). The Pork Curry Katsu was delicious, complex, and full of flavor. The pork katsu was crispy and cooked to perfection, which complemented the curry and rice. My husband enjoyed his Pork Cutlet Ramen as well. His only issue was that it could've used a bit more salt. It is pricey here, but they do give generous entree portions. We were very full and had some leftovers to take home for later. We had a few different servers, and they were all polite and helpful. Our food was brought out quickly, which was also great. The only issue is that the service was a bit spotty and we weren't checked on very often to see if we needed anything (for example, I didn't get any refills). It wasn't too busy either, so I'm not sure why this was the case. The interior was clean and had a casual, slightly lively atmosphere. They have blend of modern and traditional Japanese decor, which gives off a comfy/modern dining experience. There's a decent amount of seating, and you have the option of sitting at the bar or a table. Both options put you in close proximity to other diners, but it's not necessarily a bad thing. They also had different mix of music genres playing in the background. Overall we had a decent experience and plan on stopping by again soon!

All right, those of you who follow me know that I'm always going to be honest, and unfortunately, I…read morehave to be honest here. Now, don't get me wrong--the food is good, the service is really quick, and the people who work here are nice. The place itself is very small, so there's really not much to it. There are a few tables, it's nice and clean, but that's about it. Now let's get to the food. The food is good and tasty, and I will say that the portions they give you are actually pretty darn good. You definitely don't feel like you're getting a small serving. But I can honestly say, unfortunately, it's not the best I've had. I look at things pretty simply: "nothing special" is just okay, "good" means it's not bad, and then there's the food that makes you say, "Wow, I'm definitely coming back." Unfortunately, this one didn't hit that last category for me. I probably won't be going back. It just didn't have that something I was expecting, and I think there are other places I would choose before coming back here. But remember, like I always say--don't just take my word for it. Go check it out for yourself, give it a try, experience it, and make your own decision. Because at the end of the day, everyone's taste is different, and what doesn't hit the spot for me might be exactly what you're looking for.
