Great experience here while having family lunch. I had a toddler with me and they provided kids…read moredining set. The restaurant was well lit and clean. Server was friendly and attentive. When my daughter dropped utensils on the floor , she came by with clean ones. The food was all cooked to perfection. I really enjoyed the rosu nabe, although it was somewhat salty. The zenbu katsu i highly recommend. We've ordered this every time we went. It's a great way to sample everything they have.

Up until recently, my favourite katsu place was Katsu-san because of their special apple based…read moresauce that I prefer over the typical tonkatsu sauce. However, Saku may have won me over with their sharable combo set. My friend and I came in for dinner last Wednesday. It was quite busy for a weekday and we waited around 30 minutes. I loved the interior of this place! It's clean, but warm toned, and stylish. We opted to share the Zenbu set (comes with variety of pork, chicken, cheese, seafood and veggie tempura) and realized we could get refillable rice, soup, and salad for both of us. This was awesome! I was pleasantly surprised by the chicken thigh. I normally always order pork katsu, but the chicken was tender and juicy. The scallop was huge and not rubbery at all! There was more than enough food for the both of us and we even both had leftovers for lunch the next day. We also ordered the lobster croquette, which was fun to try. Like any croquette, there was a lot of mixed ingredients apart from the lobster, but it was still tasty and fun. The staff were attentive at refilling items and were easy to flag down. This is definitely a place that I would return to again and again when I'm in the mood for Katsu.

The menu contains a variety of rice combo dishes that you can select (pork, chicken, beef, fois gras, curry) and a tempura noodle set as well. Occasionally, they also have specials as well. My boyfriend and I ordered the beef set and the tempura noodle set with pork. I love how there are a variety of side dishes that come with the set. This is great for those who like variety and want to have a complete meal with all the food groups. My favourite is definitely the pickled daikon/carrot and the cabbage salad! The food is not too salty and the broth was perfectly seasoned for my palate. My boyfriend also ordered an espresso romano which I had never tried before. The foam on top was surprisingly refreshing with a tart aftertaste of lime. The prices were also very fair with most sets averaging around $19-20 before tax. You order at the counter and pay after you're finished. This is a great place for a quick bite especially if you're in the Ironwood area of Richmond.

My friend chose this place to celebrate his birthday, as he heard good things. It was a week day…read morerainy day, and the restaurant was pretty quiet. When I first walked in, we see the setup is very traditional Japanese style with small dividers and booths. The waitress took me to our booth, and left the tablet for me to use to order food. I like how they provide tablet and also have the option to order by scanning the QR code. We ordered several dishes to share. The aburi sushi set was one of the highlights. It came with 7 pieces of different kind of Aburi sushi. We like how they torched not only the tipping, but also the rice. It added so much flavor to it. The Taco wasabi was also very refreshing. My first bite had a kick to it, then I got used to the wasabi. We also got to try some of the bbq dishes, such as the Gyutan (beef Tongue) and the Ton Toro (pork belly). The Sukiyaki beef nabe was delicious, however, it was very salty, and ot was over killed by salt. The Foie gras fried rice was suppose to be one of the most anticipated dish, however, it was a little underwhelming. We could find a lot of foie Gras, which was a bit disappointing. The service was decent, They even changed our plates during our meals. The food came out very quick after we ordered. However, for some reason, they didn't like to communicate with English. Every time when I spoke English, the waitress spoke Chinese back to me. See I'm not sure why. Overall, it was a pretty nice place for small group gatherings. It's a bit pricey, but the quality was there.

I love it when the nigiri is perfectly seasoned and doesn't need extra soy sauce or wasabi. The nori on the chopped scallop gunkan was crunchy. The amaebi was perfectly sweet, bouny and salty. Each piece was melt in your mouth tender. I would had ordered more but had to run out. 5/5 for food, location isn't great.

The restaurant is small and the waiting area even smaller -- with 5 ahead of us we ended up waiting about an hour!! We got the dinner sets of soba/sushi, chirashi, and unagi. Everything tasted solid but seems small for the price. My little (who doesn't eat much) finished the whole meal set and said she was only 50% full and proceeded to eat snacks in the car after dinner. The staff spoke Japanese so you know it's pretty authentic but for the price and the wait, it could've delivered more.

Each roll is made in front of you with all of the fish tasting super fresh. My favorite is the truffle lobster roll - you smell the truffle aroma at the same time as you eat the luscious lobster meat. Service was totally spot on and they went above and beyond. They initially forgot to start making my order but they made it up to me with the salmon oshi and edamame brought out by the head chef. I was sipping on the Hello Ocha drink so it didn't feel like I was waiting too long but their effort to make up for the initial wait was super appreciated. Highly recommend (they also have late night happy hour)
