My favorite place to eat when I come to Willits for work!!! After being in the airport and…read moretraveling all day, I look forward to the small dining experience. It's warm and welcoming! I went about 8 months ago and the waiter that took my order, brought me the wrong ramen bowl. It was still delicious, just unfortunate that he wasn't really listening. And then I went a few months ago and was disappointed because the waitress had just received multiple to go orders and she told me I would have to come back. At the time I was a bit frustrated and decided I wouldn't go back. I'll be honest I was a bit hangry. I just got in town and gave it another chance! So glad I did! I ordered the Tonkatsu ramen. Delicious. Savory. Exactly what I wanted on a rainy dark day! I've also had the Ford Ranch Filet mignon ramen, which was also savory and warming. I didn't have the experience of too much chimichurri. I always get the spice bomb. I'm glad I went back! Still my favorite place to go to when I get into town! Thank you!!!

Shocked to find something this good in Willits. Could not tell it was open though. There is no "open" sign and the light on top of the door was not obvious. I spent 30 seconds peering through the window, and apparently the server was waving at me, but I could not see inside. I only happened to try the door which was unlocked. I'm not saying this as a boomer. I've lived in a lot of places and eaten at a lot of restaurants. Give it a shot, you will not be disappointed.

Twas a solo, business trip on a Friday night, so I was able to experience this place on full, local display. Sat at the sushi bar and I was able to watch the chef make my Oco personally. The only reason I left a star out is because as I sat at one of those bar spots, I was exposed to the back side of the deep fryer so not only was it warm but it was a touch scummy. It needed to be cleaned thoroughly. (To me that something you expect in Japanese culture is the expected cleanliness.) The service was not bad, perhaps not top notch, maybe due to the fact it was a full house with tables turning over. Overall well done and I will return.

It's fried noodles on top of a pile of cabbage, sauce, egg crepe, sauce, and other choice of topping, and (of course) sauce. I ordered the "Japanese", pork and mushroom with sweet and spicy sauce. When I got it. I thought to myself that I needed a straw for the sauce. I would order again and try the other flavors, but less sauce. We also ate the "fish sticks", cooked spicy tuna, with spicy sauce on top. Not bad The secret to good sushi is the rice, and fresh ingredients. The fish was fine. The rice was not too sweet and the right consistency. Not bad. The service was great. Very attentive and plenty of help. The atmosphere was pleasing. It space must have been a Latin style restaurant cuz it has kind of a Latin vibe. Regardless it was a good time and good food. On a humorous note, I noticed we were the only Asians, other than the owners, in the restaurant. That's was concerning. . But I'm glad we got over it. There aren't many Asians here.

However, the service from the people who owned it, and the other people was just awful And unpersonable rude and not willing to give our money back even when the food was edible They even charged us for a little bit of extra ginger because what the meal came with was so little, but the problem is, we couldn't eat either because it was all brown with dark brown spots over it as though it was moldy The ambience Well, if I had cared about the ambience, I would never have walked into this place because basically it's a dump and very dirty But I do try to go Enter places that look like this sometime with the hope that the food is amazing as I have been to many restaurants that don't look so good but their food is wonderful unfortunately this was not our experience My husband Husband asked for a refund or a remake of our food and they refused So we ended up not having a meal and paying $40 for what was delivered to our table I think someone should call the health inspection on this place

We recently relocated to Sonoma county (The Sea Ranch) from Silicon Valley (Menlo Park) and have had some nice meals along the coast since we moved here FT (Harbor House, Ledford House etc) but this little spot is a real gem. Friends recommended it so we had a double date night and filled the table with all sorts of goodies. Great evening and food. Highly recommended. Small, simply situated on a very quiet street in Point Arena. A few doors down from a decent locally sourced weed shop (also worth a visit BTW), and a local fish monger (Point Arena is a commercial fishing port) and solid local bakery (Pelican), this excellent restaurant serves up a variety of rotating locally sourced small plates and yakatori style grilled meats and veggies as well as some raw fish and stews as well. Highlights were the sashimi, the fish roe on rice, the grilled pork belly, the grilled cabbage salad, the tempura shrooms and the fried chicken oysters as well as the grilled chicken thighs. All excellent. They have a nice selection of saki's as well (we had 2 small bottles to share $20/each) and to close the meal we had the Matcha ice cream with passion fruit ! All in for 4 people including tax and tip $250...which in today's world seemed very fair to me. Great meal and great vibe overall. Chef/owners apparently have strong training and work experience in Japanese settings and fine dining restaurants- which may explain why this place does very simple things so well... Make a reservation on the weekends otherwise you'll miss out or end up eating at the bar. There are certainly worse things to do than that...however, trust me. Visit here and thank me later. Well done Izakaya Gama ! We will be back. This will undoubtedly be on our regular "locals dining out rotation" now. Bravo Izakaya Gama !

Fried, grilled, steamed, raw... not a single miss. We were staying just up the block on a short getaway, and this ended up being one of the most memorable parts of the trip. At one point we were talking about Rintaro in SF, and the chef overheard us--she mentioned he knew the folks there and spoke highly of them. Honestly, after eating here, I think Gama is better, and at a much friendlier price point. Warm atmosphere, great food, and a chef who clearly cares about what they're doing. This place is a win all around.
