The Nabeyaki Udon was good but standard. The Pad Ki Mao (drunken noodles) was DELICIOUS!! It tasted exactly as I expected and hoped for :0) It was not spicy either (even though it has a little pepper next to it). I would definitely come back for the Pad Ki Mao! I even didn't finish it because it was a big portion and I look forward to eating my leftovers tomorrow! The server was helpful. The owner came out to check on how everything was going as well. Their decorations are really cute and represent the Japanese theme well.

Even though we…read moresurprised them with a large group, they were very accommodating- they combined separate tables and allowed our party to dine together- thank you! The food was delicious. We ordered some sushi rolls for the table and also had some ramen. Since I am a self proclaimed spicy food connoisseur, I had to order the spicy seafood ramen. I was given an option between three levels of spice- and I went with the spiciest level. I enjoyed it and it was indeed spicy - my partner could barely take a sip He did get the beef bibimbap and it also looked delicious. He mentioned that it was filling.

It's probably the only place in town you can get omurice. Agedashi tofu was great -- tender tofu, crispy outside. I've never had a salmon skin roll quite like this. The pieces were like...thick? It was kind of tricky to eat but good. We were excited to see omurice as an option; it was good and likely authentic but we thought the sauce was a bit sweet.

Yotsuba has been my go-to Japanese restaurant ever since I moved back to Ann Arbor in 2004; it was…read morealso my parents' go-to Japanese restaurant... we've been loyal customers for a long time. There have been some hit-or-misses with the quality of the fish but, I'm Japanese and, for me, "Japanese cuisine" is a lot more than raw fish and their kitchen (as opposed to the sushi bar) has always been reliable. Not so much anymore. :( I had dinner there recently on a Friday night. Ordered the tempura appetizer and 8-9 pieces of sushi a la carte. I asked the waitperson to make sure there was grated daikon for the tempura (I've had to ask before and the tempura was cold by the time they brought it, so I was planning ahead...) I was informed that not only do they not serve it with tempura, there's simply no daikon anywhere in the restaurant to grate. Seriously? First, how does a Japanese restaurant not have any daikon?? Second, if you serve tempura, this is a necessary condiment; it's akin to not having ketchup for a burger. I opted to have fried oysters instead and they were fine. The nigiri sushi I was served *looked* beautiful. Huge pieces of fish, nicely arranged. I'm not sure why Japanese restaurants here think "bigger is better" when it comes to sushi. Nigiri sushi is intended to be eaten in ONE comfortable bite instead of having to try to bite it in half only to have it disintegrate awkwardly all over the table. Why not offer two nigiri pieces per order that's reasonably (and correctly) sized? And then there's the sushi rice. I'm not convinced that the sushi chefs there understand that what makes it "sushi" isn't the fish (or the fancy rolls) -- it's the rice. Sushi rice is supposed to be flavored, while it's steaming hot, with a sugar-vinegar-salt mixture ("sushi su"), which is what keeps the rice moist and sticky in order to keep its shape, and also provide a foil for the fish. Whenever a sushi piece falls apart, it usually means (other than the fact that it's too big) that it's not properly seasoned. It should also never be cold. My simple meal plus a serving of sake, with tip came to almost $100. That's not unreasonably high for a Japanese sushi meal but I think I should be able to count on it being made correctly.

I did check the menu online and saw they have sushi entrees and decided to try out the deluxe sashimi platter. It's the most deluxe item on the menu. I thought I should be a good sampling of what they have then. The menu picture looks great! What I got was incredibly disappointing.... Tiny pieces of sashimi scattered on a plate of iceberg lettuce. The egg cake (tamago) was freshly defrosted and still very watery. The shrimp were dried out from being too long in the cooler case and extremely thin. All the fish were such small cuts. For that price, there is no excuse to get that sorry plate of scrap. The presentation was poor. No shiso leaves. It doesn't look at all like the picture in the menu but more like something you might get on a sushi day at an elementary school. Service was novice was kind. Dining room was cozy and cool. Slow even for a Monday at dinner time. I'll remember this and not be back.

The inside is so cute and the plates are so pretty too! Not only are the physical dishes cool, but the presentation of the sushi was too! I got 2 orders of the simple tuna, and one New York. My sister got an order of the California rolls and 2 shrimp tempura orders. Presentation was fantastic, and the sushi was divine. The salmon was so tender and almost buttery in consistency, and the veggies inside the rolls are so fresh and crisp. I always find sushi so refreshing and it hit the spot. I'd also like to mention how fantastic they are about dietary restrictions. Tons of vegan/vegetarian options PLUS GLUTEN FREE SOY SAUCE, APPS, AND A MENU. For the celiacs out there: I didn't get glutened! They took it seriously and I had no issues! If you're not sure where to go, go to Kanbu. The entire meal was around $65, and we had a lot of sushi plus a massive pot of tea. Sushi can be so expensive and I find this place to have great prices, especially for the size and quality of sushi! If you want to support authentic, local places in Ann Arbor, go to kanbu! My only regret is that I didn't take pictures.

The only thing to note is that the entrance to the restaurant is inside the building complex.
