He recognized her love for miso and he got us a whole bunch of extra miso soups. He was also very nice and acccommodating. I had a salmon toro and it was really good. Also had the salmon teriyaki - it comes in a big bowl with lots of veggies in it, seems more like sukiyaki as it's full of broth. The broth is really good too - I highly recommend it. Oh and they have two kinds of miso soup - including clam miso soup which my daughter really liked! The crispy oshi was much bigger than I remembered. Huge slices of avocado! Great place.

We came here because my daughter wanted to go somewhere that she could order Katsu. We'd been to…read moreanother restaurant across the street recently where she'd had katsu so I decided, let's go somewhere different this time, where she could get her katsu and the menu would have more variety on it for the rest of us who might not be in the mood for katsu. I tried something new this time. It was a cold rainy day so I was in the mood for a bowl of hot soup and noodles. I had a Vege Udon. My mom ordere the seafood Udon. So OK...I suppose soup and udon noodles isn't exactly trying something new as I've definitely had soup and udon noodles before. However, udon noodles are something I have rarely ever ordered over the years. Especially as Ramen seems to have gotten more popular over the years than Udon. Plenty of Ramen restaurants within Greater Vancouver, but how many restaurants in Vancouver specialize in udon? Not very many. I don't know why I don't order udon noodles more often. When it's a cold, rainy day I always think Ramen noodles but this bowl of Vege Udon was just as satisfying as any bowl of Ramen. Actually, maybe more so since I've had lots of Ramen over the years but hardly any bowls of udon noodles. This was a refreshing change of pace. They serve the udon noodles in what appeared to be a cast iron bowl. Simple yet so elegant. I loved the flavor of my broth. It was a nice, light broth. Not too rich, and it had a sweet flavor to it. I think I've just regained a new appreciation for Udon noodles!

This place has been around for ages. I think this was possibly the very first Japanese restaurant I…read moreever went to, back when I was maybe 10 years old, and was therefore the first place that I ever had sashimi and fell in love with Japanese cuisine. I stopped going for many years. I am guessing it has likely gone through changes in management over the years though I have no way to confirm that. We ordered takeout from this place online. My daughter ordered Avocado roll, Dynamite roll and a miso soup. My mom had a Seafood Yakisoba. I had a Vegetable and Tofu Teriyaki. There was a Nabeyaki Udon and an assortment of other sushi for the rest of the family. I was quite disappointed with my Vegetable and Tofu Teriyaki. The veggies, especially the carrots, were quite bland. I have found other veggies in teriyaki dishes to have more of a grilled kind of flavor but these veggies were bland. The thing that disappointed me most about the dish was how runny the teriyaki sauce was. Teriyaki sauce is usually thick. This sauce was thin and liquidy. It was more like soup than sauce. I tried out my mom's Seafood Yakisoba. That was better than my Teriyaki dish but still, not exactly mind blowing. I've had better seafood yakisobas than this. The rest of the family seemed pretty happy with all of their sushi orders. Giving this place an "ok" rating since the sushi seemed decent. If I were rating purely on my own personal dish though, it would be a lower rating. Would I order from this place again? Yes, but I would make sure to order sushi. I wouldn't go for any of the cooked meals again.

A comfy spot near 10th and Alma. It offers a variety of Japanese dishes and sushi. I came for lunch…read moreand was pleasantly surprised. Ordered the chicken katsu bites for an appetizer. It came with a salad with miso dressing that was a good complement to the bites. They are crispy on the outside and tender inside. The flavour was divine. Well worth ordering. For my main meal, I ordered the grilled saba (mackerel). It was nice and crispy and meaty and tender in the right places. The fish comes in a light teriyaki sauce that is very nice with this oily fish. The homemade tsukemono was crunchy and had the perfect sourness. Another serving of the salad and miso made for a good balance. My one quibble is that they served sushi rice with the meal. I would have preferred plan rice to temper the rich flavours, but that is a personal preference. Many people I know would prefer to have a bit more flavour with their rice. The service is good. The staff do not hover over you but are responsive. Well worth coming here for lunch. I'll have to try their dinner menu and sushi the next time.

There wasn't any change to the restaurant. It has been maintaining its tidiness. There were many customers during the dinner time on Friday night. The moment we stepped in the restaurant, there was a chocking burnt smell. I couldn't stop from coughing. I would expect the server could open the door for better ventilation a bit earlier. Perhaps there wasn't many servers it took sometime to get the servers to take order. I would appreciate if they could be more attentive. This is why I take away one star. Regarding the foods: Mango roll: a good harmony of mango and the rest of the ingredients. We all loved it. Salmon liver: combo of fresh salmon nigiri and rolls. Met my expectation. Sake Don: Salmon again. Nicely sliced salmon on the rice with a piece of tamago roll. Recommended. Tempura udon: rich taste of soup well balanced with the udon and tempura. Tempura were fried proper timing and without the smell of "recycled-oil". All for you rolls: we needed a bit more so we ordered this extra dish. Dynamite roll was great and the spicy tuna roll was up to standard. The price was reasonable. The ambient was great. Easy to find roadside parking. A good place for dinner gathering in that local area.
