Are gift cards still available during the pandemic? If so, is it a set limit or customizable?

The restaurant is small and somehow they are able to pack a few tables in for guests. Luckily, I did make that reservation and we both got there before opening (5:30pm) so we beat the rush hour dinner time. We were promptly seated and they took our drink and asked if we were ready. We were busy catching up and weren't ready and they came twice and so we just decided the bento box because we were both hungry. While the bento looked smaller than others I've been to. The quality was there and the food was just perfect. I really enjoyed the food at Izakaya. The sashimi cuts of ahi tuna is amazing, while not as big as others that are non-traditional Japanese restaurants. I love the quality and the food they offer. My friend and I both got a bento box and everything was delicious. The servers do come in and check on you regularly which I appreciated and they are really quick to get the food to you. Overall, I enjoyed the food and service and I would definitely come here and make sure I'm first in line!

It's been years since we've been here, but my cousin and his wife were visiting from an area of…read moreSoCal where they have little authentic Japanese food, and we remembered that this wasn't your typical Japanese place that has simplified bento boxes. We're glad we picked here to show them what the Bay Area can do in terms of more authentic Japanese food. The decor is traditional and not fancy, but comfortable and clean. The shishito peppers were really tasty, not too hot, pleasantly hot. Edamame was typical, nothing really special, but it's a bit difficult to really elevate edamame. The braised pork was good and the lean parts were easy to selectively eat. Nothing here is aggressively seasoned, but also not at all bland, so it's a good balance of flavorful but not overbearing. The grilled chicken wings were okay, but nothing outstanding or memorable - but simple and fine. Our "main" dishes, the deluxe meshi, nike tofu, and okonomiyaki were all great! Really enjoyed all of them and they were again flavorful, authentic tasting, and generous portions to share. Wish this were a little closer to where we live, but we enjoy coming here whenever we do and I recommend this for trying more traditional dishes when you want something different than simple teriyaki and sushi rolls.

The chicken was pretty standard and the beef and pork good without being exceptional. Flavor was good, just a little bit more chew on the beef and pork than ideal.

My husband had a B Skewers Bento with agedashi tofu and ume miso dressing for the salad. The food came out pretty fast, and was hot and freshly cooked. My oyako don was cooked to perfection, the seasoning was on point. Portion was very generous with good chicken to rice ratio. There're a few pieces of shiitake mushroom in the bowl as well. My saba was grilled very nicely, and the best part was that there were barely any bones (just a tiny bone in the entire piece of saba!) The shiitake dressing was delicious with a little crunch. Hadn't had such an authentic and yummy Japanese lunch for a long time. My husband enjoyed his bento as well. Can't wait to come back to try other items on their menu.

Quality of ingredients are still high! Stand outs - gyutan and kalbi with garlic. Chicken skin with tare/sauce. Things that werent as good before are chicken hearts. Underseasoned and a tad under. The tsukune was also just a bit dry, despite all of the sauce drenching it. Its still flavored well but im just being nitpicky since i know theyve done better before! Service was good and attentive.

You really can't go wrong with skewers and still really enjoy their offerings. Especially the Gyutan with Green Onion, Kalbi, Chicken Skin, Chicken Thigh and Mushrooms. Depending on the mood I'll opt for either salt or sauce. They have a full menu as well as a specials menu. Tried the Gindara (Black Cod) marinated in miso and a sesame salad. Everything tasted great and flavorful, though felt that this time around the temp of the food was a little less than desired. Other than that the service was super attentive! We also had a time limit, but ended up overstaying without any issue. Would recommend reservations on the weekends because the place is on the small side, but didn't have any issues coming here on the weekdays around dinner time.

Came here last night (Tuesday), party of 2, no reservations, around 6pm ish. After reading some of…read morethe reviews, I would highly recommend coming on a weeknight to avoid crowds. We didn't have to wait and were immediately sat at the bar. Total was about $60 a person but we ordered ALOT, including 2 sake drinks, 2 shitake mushroom skewers, knee cartilage, short rib, ikura grilled rice ball, 2 chicken hearts, 2 shishito peppers, two tofus, oyster chicken, and probably more. I'm honestly a sucker for tapas-sized items because I love trying a variety of things when I eat, so I think I naturally would rate this place higher. Also not a ton of yakitori places in the East Bay so very little competition. Pros: - Honestly, pretty good meat skewers. My standout favorites were the chicken hearts, the kalbi short ribs, the mushrooms. I liked the crunch of the chicken hearts and the tenderness of the kalbi cubes, and I like that there's some non-meat options like the tofu and peppers to cleanse yourself a little bit. - Really easy ordering system, with paper and pencil. - Great for parties of 1-2, my friend and I were right at the bar and we got to watch the skewers cook and have them handed right to us. I think because we were seated here, I felt like the service was really fast. - Because it wasn't too busy on a Tuesday night, even though it says there's a 90 min seated wait time, we were there well over 2 hours (but also maybe because we kept ordering lol) - Plenty of easy parking spots in this plaza - All the staff were nice - Nice dark Japanese street food bar like ambiance, great for a casual night out Cons: - not great for parties of more than 2, there's a few booths in the restaurant that could fit 4 people maybe but I could see a long wait if it's a busy night. - The chicken items (other than the chicken hearts) were subpar in my opinion (which I guess shouldn't be surprising) so I won't be ordering them again Overall, I would definitely come back, but maybe order 1-2 dishes fewer and avoid the fried rice ball (I loved the ikura on this but felt like I could do without it).

My friend ordered the duck soba, I had the tempura soba, and we also shared a couple of a la carte dishes. Finding high-quality, authentic soba in the Bay Area is quite challenging, so this place is a true gem for soba lovers. While I've enjoyed dinner here multiple times in the past, this was my first lunch visit. I didn't drink this time since I was driving, but their menu is excellent for those who enjoy pairing their meal with drinks. The crowd seems to include many Japanese expats, which speaks to its authenticity. A great, reliable spot for a calm and delicious meal!

I wasn't exactly sure who my server was, but each of them were friendly and helpful. I ordered the mini beef don (beef rice bowl) and the tonkatsu deluxe, which included both the kakuni and the chashu. The chashu is sliced thin and flavorful, without tasting gamey. The Kakuni is very tender and rich, with more meat than fat. I also really enjoyed the broth and seeing the pork fat cooked in & well integrated into the overall dish.

We ordered the special tonkotsu ramen and chose the spicy version. As someone who loves spicy food, be aware that it was very spicy. The broth, however, was quite bland and lacked the rich, creamy texture I expect from tonkotsu ramen. On the positive side, the chashu was tender and flavorful, and the soft-boiled egg was perfectly cooked. The chicken karaage was crispy and delicious, the mini curry rice wasn't impressive. Arrived at Friday 9pm, the restaurant was still packed, we had to wait for 30 minutes. The service didn't match the crowd. We had to remind the staff to bring us water and extra bowls Overall, the food was okay, but I don't think it worth the long wait. There are plenty ramen restaurants in the Bay Area that I would choose before coming back here.
