No we said "no longer!" and went for lunch. The atmosphere is super chill with a great vibe. Love true set up of the restaurant, very cool. We were greeted in the traditional Japanese Izakaya style. I was trying not to get not to get my hopes up! The menu is perfect, not a gazillion options, straight and to the point. We ordered tacoyaki for an appetizer, the JINYA Tonkotsu Black ramen and the Birria Raman(!?!?). I know Birria ramen is not traditional, but love the idea of fusing the two. Ok, the food was hands down amazing. Some of the best ramen we have had in a very long time. Super flavorful and nice serving size! Our hostess, Chelsea, is awesome and did an outstanding job explaining the menu and answering any questions we had. Chelsea had our food to us in a snap and staggered the appetizer and entrees perfectly. All in all a perfect way to spend some time relaxing and enjoying great food. Highly recommend for sure!!

I ordered the copy ramen and it was really good. I like that they gave these toys and how I wanted my egg cooked because I really don't like soft boiled eggs. My friend had some kind of a combo meal and it looks fantastic. In fact I wish I had ordered that instead of the ramen. My ramen was yummy, although I thought it would be a darker beef ramen and it was not. Our server was not the friendliest in the world but she got the job done. I guess that's all the counts. I would definitely come back here to try the Hawaiian dishes because they look seriously delicious, but I wouldn't make a special trip for the ramen.

There are lots of Asian touches, like the mural of Mount Fuji with cherry blossoms. The menu has seen several kinds of ramen as well as several kinds of hibachi meals and side dishes. It was absolutely delicious, although someone at the table next to us got the hibachi chicken and it smelled and looked soooo good. We also got some gyoza, which was also super yummy. Our server was great. For a while, he was the only one, so he was running hard, but still was attentive and organized. This place is great. We are going back next weekend to try the hibachi. There was a constant stream of people, so it looks like others have already found this gem.

One of my NYC coworkers mentioned Shimogamo, and I mentioned liking the Gilbert location a few weeks back. She reached out and made a reservation for 10-12 of us. I hadn't realized how small this location was, so it meant she rented the room for an exceptional exclusive dining experience! Things We Ordered I Tried: - Yuzu Mule: loved this drink at the Gilbert location, so I ordered again. Very refreshing and recommend if you like mules. - Hamachi Chili Lime Crudo: Great flavor and first time trying a crudo. I really liked the subtle heat and acidity of the citrus ponzu. - Crispy Truffle Crab: This was decent, but overall my least favorite of our starters & small bites. - Spicy Tuna Tartare: This was delicious and enjoyed the nori chips to serve the spicy tuna on. - Kagoshima Filet ($120): I'm sad to report... this was FANTASTIC. I wanted to hate it at the price point of $120, but it truly melts in your mouth. My first experience trying Wagyu and it was a A5 rating, which is the highest. Started with a bougie one it seems! - Tamago Roll: I do enjoy a tamago roll, and this was pretty good. - Crazy Roll: I enjoyed this at the Gilbert location, though I do still standby this could be elevated with a spicy mayo or topping. - Surf 'N Turf Roll: This was my favorite roll of the night! A5 Wagyu and shrimp tempura?! Heck yeah! Absolutely delicious, though I'm not a huge fan of mustard. Still a delicious roll and likely what I'd get if I returned. - Yuzu Mushrooms: One of the specials listed, and decent flavor. Though, I think I'd stick to rolls if returning. - Matcha Tiramisu: I was told this was a must order, but I'm truly baffled at this desert. This is more like a no bake cheesecake and not a tiramisu. The red bean paste was an odd texture at the bottom and very hard to get your spoon all the way down to get all the elements of the dessert. - Mango Kakigori: Very light and refreshing! A hit with the team, and we had three to share. Shout out to Matthew for an amazing experience! Very attentive and appreciated the suggestions, while helping ensure we met the spend requirement for renting the room ($1200). What a truly magic night that made us feel like VIP!

We got takeout but the girl at the front is very nice. Food: food taste alright, we got a wrong order so the seafood udon noodle soup was just ok. It kinda lack flavor. Details: decided to do take out and ordered online. We order sushi and the seafood stir fry udon noodles. But when we got our order, they gave us the seafood udon soup instead. Even though when we ordered online, the seafood stir fry udon was under stir fry section. I'm not sure if it just how it's ordered online or they got the order wrong. The sushi was fine and tastes fresh but the udon soup we got lacked flavor. I was a bit disappointed since the udon soup wasn't what I ordered and what they gave me wasn't good too. They sure do have a lot of items on the menu. So there's a lot of choices.

We received so many compliments from our guests about how amazing everything tasted, which is something people are still talking about.

We love this little gem! There are two wonderful outdoor patios, obviously not for summer seating but during our nice weather, beautiful! Wife had a Blue Hawaiian and said it was flavorful and perfect except a bit less ice would make it better. We decided to share a meal tonight so started with their Loaded House Salad, which they split for us. We loved this salad! Their tarragon ranch dressing was perfect with the mixed greens, the grape tomatoes, pepitas, and bacon crumbles...such a good salad! We shared their popular short ribs (they charged $2 for plate share) which were cooked to tender perfection and served over a creamy white bean puree. Delicious for sure! We finished with some of their Black Forest Cake which was the bomb! Tender, moist chocolate cake rounds with the best tasting whip that has vanilla bean in it and then some great cherry jam to set it all off. What a great meal!

Instead, we were offered a table in the back outside while everyone else was seated inside. As a Black family, the experience left us feeling unwelcome. I can't say why we were treated this way, but the interaction was extremely disappointing, we chose to dine elsewhere. Update: After my original review, the restaurant reached out to apologize for our experience. We decided to give them another chance, and I'm glad we did. Our return visit was completely different. The service was excellent, and we had the pleasure of meeting the Ashley Cook, General Manager and the owner. They made us feel genuinely welcome.

Hour into meal I get nasty note from Open Table about not showing up for reservation!!! Cool interior, small and narrow, brick walls and low lighting give very clubby vibe. Cocktail list is a blast. Drinks named after Greek Gods. Very inventive. Food was biggest disappointment. Hamachi crudo rather tasteless. Best dish of evening were the pork belly skewers! Lamb Two ways not great. Two lamb loin chops + lamb loin. Some zucchini coins and shishito peppers in kinda a low heat "mole type" sauce. Not a great pairing with lamb imho. Otherwise lamb chops not seasoned and undercooked (rare, not medium rare). Strawberries and cream dessert not bad, kinda underwhelming on flavor. Service was just average. Server was attentive with water, but didn't proactively add any interest to the menu or overall experience. I dine a lot in Chandler ... there are better options
