Best sushi EVER, period!…read more I have more 30+ experience eating sushi, this place is one of the best, if not THE BEST EVER. The staff, the chef, everyone was very welcoming, very attentive, very caring. The food was AMAZING, DELICIOUS, and it looked like ART on a plate. The restaurant is very nice, with a nice and peaceful outdoor sitting area. The inside of the restaurant is as nice. Again, the staff were amazing. I will definitely return to Yokohama, not only for the incredible tasty food, but also as important, I will return for the staff, for their service and care.

My husband and I came back here to celebrate our 12 year anniversary dinner. It is a 8 seater…read morekaiseki dinner. We were 10 minutes late (saying goodbye to children) and the restaurant was pleasant. Thankfully, they were still taking in orders for drinks and had not started. Drink menu is heavily concentrated on sake. Not being a heavy sake drinker, we naturally headed over to wine and beer menu. It is much slimmer pickings than the sake, but enjoyed our sparkling wine paired with the kaiseki very much. The dishes were all excellent. The thing that lingered in my mind even till this day, a week after I am writing this review, is that umami flavor bomb chawanmushi with mosel mushroom and uni (never can go wrong with uni). The other thing that I thought took more skill, attention, and was unique to the chef's background was their dashi/broth. It was a complex of flavors from the sea that all paired well together. I thoroughly enjoyed every sip, and the flavors waking up all parts of my tongue. One more part - the meat dishes were not my favorite. They just do the seafood so well. Oh! And dessert, of course, the Japanese melons were as if it was dipped in fructose lol Ambiance is dressy and date-worthy :) the elderly ladies beside me were sporting their Birkens and taking pics of their food next to it

Not sure what the story surrounding this place is. Apparently, if you're not a member of some…read more"charmed circle", they won't even TALK to you. We knew that this was an upper-end restaurant and like most restaurants of that caliber, the establishment had some traditions that they liked to adhere to regarding dress and comportment. Not wanting to cause any embarrassments, we hoped to get a couple of questions answered before we walked in. They don't answer their phone. They don't reply to emails. Their website says to contact them via phone messaging, but they don't even reply to THAT. Fortunately, there is another Japanese restaurant just one block down (Hachi ju Hachi) which serves superb, authentic Japanese food and which warmly WELCOMES its customers. We went there instead and are of the opinion we didn't miss out on anything by giving this kaiseki joint a pass.

Food: 8.8/10 on Beli Will come again!! Their sashimi salad…read moreis SO GOOD they give u sm high quality sashimi (sake, toro, and hamachi) and a lot of salad for $23.99!!!! It was the favorite dish for all four of us at the table. The crispy rice onigiri was also delicious but imo there wasn't enough filling. Service 10/10 We came in around 8pm and the waitress let us know that the kitchen is closing soon right when we were seated, we had enough time to order and they asked one more time before truly closing. We requested to move to the tatami after another party left and they were super nice about it!!! Ambiance: 7/10 It's a bit dark and slightly cramped, but i dont think it can be helped. Tatami experience 10/10!!One more thing - my friend said their prices haven't changed since she was little, she used to come w her family.

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.

I can't say enough about how consistently good the food has been here every single time we visit…read more As vegetarians, we especially love that they have a whole separate veggie menu with so many options to choose from. The drunken noodles and fried rice are always packed with flavor, and the fresh spring rolls are such a refreshing starter. This time we tried the Taiwanese bamboo shoot dish from the Chef's Recommendation section. It was definitely spicy, though not quite as fiery as the last time we had it. Maybe they toned it down a bit... or maybe we were braver last time We also ordered the Khao Soi, which was pretty decent. Fewer sides compared to some other places, but still really tasty overall. And honestly, one of the best parts? You can bring your own alcohol to enjoy with dinner, and there's no corkage fee Overall, such a great spot for vegetarian Thai food!

Worst service ever…read more My friend and I were dining at Golden Triangle when, in the middle of our meal, an older lady server came to our table and told us we had 30 minutes to finish our food or move to another table. This was extremely inappropriate and unprofessional. We were paying customers actively eating our dinner. Being rushed in that manner was disrespectful and completely unacceptable. I have never been treated this way at any restaurant. At the end of the meal, I made it clear to her that her behavior was wrong and that customers should not be treated this way. Because of this experience, I will not be returning.

What I ordered this second time: 1) Sumika Salad 4.5/5 - I really like this salad it's the right amount of crunchy and flavor 2) Vegetable Tempura 4.5/5 - I like the different types of vegetables here - eggplant, mushroom, rappini, sweet potato, lotus root etc 3) Salmon hand roll 3/5 - too small for the price and very average tasting 4) Tuna sushi 3/5 - very average tasting

We were surprised at their lunch offerings of bento boxes and donburi. Of course, we also had several yakitori skewers too. Yaki Onigini was definitely the high-light.

Then, we had the deep-fried Godzilla Roll, Gyoza that was the perfect crispness, Baked Lobster and Lion King Rolls, plus the Nagoya Crunch Roll. It was all wonderful. I've had a lot of sushi at a lot of places in the area but this was the best. I don't usually even like cream cheese but that Godzilla Roll was so good. It was like a really well done jalapeno popper. Our waiter was so nice and gracious. He said the sushi maker had been working there for 10 years and it really showed. I highly recommend this place. It is not a large restaurant and they do a lot of takeout but I will be going there again soon.

Dipping sauce for agedashi tofu was watery. The tofu itself was good, however. Sushi was the bright spot - we had tamago, hotate, and sake toro - all were fresh and nicely made. There are plenty of good sushi places in town; this one just doesn't measure up, unfortunately.

Pleasure to come back ! Thank you for service and atmosphere!…read more Food is spectacular as USUAL !!!!

Long story short - not worth the cost…read more The property itself is cute, and the outdoor seating area is a nice vibe if you can get it. It definitely feels like a place that's designed to be more of an experience spot, especially if you're going for the aesthetic. That said, the food was hit or miss. The menu is big, which normally I like, but it doesn't really work in its favor when not everything is consistently good. Some items were fine, but nothing really stood out enough to make me feel like I'd confidently reorder them. Given the prices and very small tapas-style portion sizes, it just didn't feel worth the gamble overall. Our Lila Latte (ube latte) didn't taste like ube at all. When we arrived and asked about seating, we were told they weren't taking walk-ins. So we went online, made a reservation for 10 minutes later lol. And then got seated right away with that reservation. Their seating system could use a bit of streamlining. Overall, cute setting and decent vibes, but between the price, portion sizes, and inconsistency, I probably wouldn't rush back unless I knew exactly what to order and could guarantee outdoor seating. Chicken dumplings were my favorite dish!

I had a lovely family lunch here. We opted to seat outside since the weather was perfect, but there…read morewas plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. The menu online and what we got slightly differed. At first glance the options feel limited to a typical Thai restaurant, but we loved everything that we ordered! My parents are hard to please, and also loved the food!! -Dragon Balls (5/5): deep friend minced chicken with added flavoring. It was really good! Could have used a side of sauce, but it disappeared quickly :) -spicy eggplant (5/5): I love eggplant dishes and this one did not disappoint. The spice was the right amount and didn't feel over the top. Since it's a side, it's a smaller portion -pad see ew (4/5): they warned us that they ran out of the wide noodles so we got thinner noodles, but the noodles had a toughness to each bite. The sauce and chicken were great -pad grr pow (5/5): I have never tried this before and we asked to make it spicy with tofu. I really loved it! It doesn't come with a side of rice -crab fried rice (4.6/5): I'm not a huge fan of crab but my husband raved about this rice and the butteriness of the crab. It was seasoned pretty mildly, so if that's something you like, it's one of their popular dishes! Overall really loved the food, the outdoor seating! Service is a bit slow on getting us plates before the apps, etc. But I would absolutely come again!

Disappointing Experience - Won't Be Returning…read more We really used to enjoy coming here--in fact, we were here exactly two weeks ago and had excellent service from a different waitress (who we didn't see tonight). Unfortunately, because of how we were treated tonight, we won't be returning. We arrived right when they opened at 4:00 PM today and specifically chose to sit outside at a table for six to stay in the shade. There were three of us--two adults and a child. The restaurant was not busy at all; in fact, it was completely empty except for us and one other person. Shortly after we sat down, a woman who appeared to be the waitress (or possibly the owner) began opening the top shades, exposing the tables to the direct sun--the exact thing we were trying to avoid. She then asked us to move to a smaller table. I asked if she could please pull the shades back over so our family wouldn't be stuck in the sun, but she refused. Her excuse was that she needed the shades open for when they turn on the patio heaters later. It was 81 degrees out, so forcing us to bake in the direct sun for heaters that weren't even needed made absolutely no sense. What made this double standard even worse was that the only other customer there--a woman sitting alone at another 6-seater table just waiting to place a to-go order--was completely left alone. There were plenty of seats outside the actual dining area she could have used, yet she wasn't asked to move or bothered at all. There was a very easy solution for us: the waitress could have just separated the two-seater table from the four-seater, allowing us to stay put out of the sun. Instead, she chose to target our family with a rigid ultimatum to either move to a different table in the direct sun or sit inside. The weather was beautiful, so we wanted to stay outside, just not sweating in the sun. The rigidness of her refusal, her bizarre excuse, and the clear discrimination in how we were treated versus the other customer in an empty restaurant left us feeling incredibly uncomfortable. Ultimately, we opted to just leave. It is incredibly disappointing to go from such a great experience two weeks ago to being made to feel so unwelcome by this individual. Good customer service matters, and we will be taking our business elsewhere.
