Today was another story. I tried the best roll Ive had in a long time. The Star Wars roll was incredible. The jalapeno was a little spicy for me,but I found out next time I can say no peppers. My niece got the all you can eat and it was a huge assortment of food. So many rolls to pick, specialtiy rolls, hand rolls, appetizers, soups, salads. It was worth the price. We will be back for sure.

This is the first Japanese meal I've ever had in Mexico and it was to my surprise, not bad!…read more This place stands out because it is the only Japanese restaurant in the whole of Avenue de revolution! It is a boutique eatery with comics, anime art work, sculptures, with JPOP music videos playing in all their TVs. As I sat down, i was greeted with a complimentary side order of potato salad. I ordered the matcha horchata drink. It was a very interesting taste, a bit powdery, but still good! Ordered the spinach ramen with tokatsu broth. I was impressed by how easy it is to order, as easy as 1, 2, and 3! There's not much waiting time and my ramen came. I've had many ramens in my life so I do have pretty high standards when it comes to ramen. The spinach noodles are perfect, soft chewy and tasty. The broth is flavorful but can be better, the egg is over cooked. The service is great, waiters are attentive, give it a try when you're in downtown TJ!

Been here server times and always go with our friends who go there all the time…read more Waiters are nice and service is great. I wonder sometimes if they're nicer cause they know our friends lol. The food is yummy, executed well. We like so many of their sushi rolls! It may be small but they put out good food! Smaller, to me, is very often better.

Came here for dinner Friday night. It was my daughter's turn to choose a restaurant and she chose…read morethis for us three. We were immediately seated, but as soon as my husband and I saw the menu, we wanted to get up and leave. Their menu was very limited, very pricey for the the place & location. But since my daughter was excited to try it, we decided to stay. No bento boxes here, and everything you request is an additional charge, even a tiny amount of teriyaki sauce! My daughter got the Naruto bowl, and my husband, the Teriyaki Chicken Bowl, each one costing $17 EACH. I went with the soy sauce ramen which was $16, and to add an egg additional $1.50. The bowls were only filled with rice, the ramen was filled with scallions, and not much else. The Cali Roll were also mostly rice, no avocado, they were so cheap and did not even add wasabi & ginger! Plus the place was not very clean. In front of where we were seated were dirty bins collecting dirty dishes, and a trash can where servers just dumped everything from trash, to soups, to drinks! It was so nasty, why not place the trash cans inside, where it is hidden, not where customers were dining?!? We won't be coming back. Pls save your money for another Japanese restaurant... the price, portion or taste weren't worth it for us.

What a hidden gem!! Literally, unless you know what you are looking for. It's down an alley, but…read moreit's not sketchy at all!! You'll pass a few vendors on the way to finding several eateries - something for everyone!! Burgers, empanadas, Italian, beer, hot dogs... Order at the location you want and they'll bring your food out to you. Not every location hands out numbers (so they know who to bring the food to), so beware. Plenty of seating, it can get a little crowded. Public restroom - decent.

Hatsuzakura is a cute and authentic Japanese restaurant. All of the design details are adorable,…read moreand they even have a heated Japanese toilet! Their servers are always so sweet and friendly. You can expect a bit of a wait if you're going for dinner, as the restaurant is quite small. The main thing I would recommend on the menu is the omurice. The egg is cooked well and is the perfect texture, the sauce has delicious flavor, and everything complements each other well! The dish brings me back to Japan - it is just as good, if not better than the omurice I tried there. If you're craving a pasta, the guratan is very creamy. The chicken karaage, curry, matcha latte, and fruit sando are all decent, but they don't particularly stand out from other restaurants in my opinion. I always have a lovely experience dining here, so would definitely recommend to try it out!

The menu offers a wide range of Japanese comfort food, with many selections for rice bowls and noodles. The beef udon and braised pork with rice were everything we needed that day - light, flavorful, and comforting. Look forward to coming back and trying other dishes!

Great service. We…read moreloved this a few months ago and came back. Immediately when we walked in a manager we recognized said "welcome back". Let me tell you.... When you only ate somewhere once but they remember you that makes you want to keep coming back! One big draw for me is the kids meal and options/service for kids. If a kid is under 7 they don't charge for them to split your meal with you and they can still get their own soup bowl and chair. Also, they have a kids meal option for 10 and under. My kids absolutely love being treated like real customers. They get to cook their own food and the team addresses them kindly and tends to them. By the nature of this type of meal there is a decent amount of checking in the waitstaff has to do like adjusting cook temps, delivering plates and drinks, coming back for add ons etc so it is a good restaurant experience for kids. They even have high high chairs (not a typo) for the babies. The food is good. Everything is prepped to order... you can literally see people slicing your meat or putting your vegetables together in the back. I come here because I want quality and not the volume of an ACYE place. I'd prefer to spend my calories wisely. I was surprised that it was full but no wait on a weekday. It's hard to find somewhere with a vibe on a weekday but this place has one. It's a short drive from the zoo and Balboa park so I'm sure the team will see us again.

Japanese hot pot? Ok…read more Driven by the place many many times and always assumed it was a ramen spot. We decided to give it a try after realizing it was hot pot. We walked in and just one other couple was dining. Happy hour from 5-6. Our waitress immediately explained how the menu worked and gave us cooking tips. I ordered the miso broth with pork and toro. We also had the chuck roll and brisket. The chuck roll and the pork were delicious. Would definitely skip the toro and brisket next time. The veggies they served were all great (mushrooms, emoji, bok choy, carrot, spinach, kabocha squash, with the exception of a bit too much cabbage). The experience can a little a bit of an endeavor if you've never done it solo, as you solely have to pay constant attention to the pot while trying to eat at the same time. It can be hard to hold a conversation when your food is boiling boiling hot! Definitely a laborous experience but a fun one!

I've been wanting to try ramen at every place possible and this place was next. As soon as I walked…read moreit I was confused because the place has no sign or name in front of it. If j wouldn't have asked the host what restaurant it was I probably wouldn't have known. A little sign would have helped lol. Now to the food...it was delicious. I ordered the classic ramen, a spicy tuna roll, and a beer all for under $15 which was great. The ramen was very tasty and the pork that it had was very savory and well marinated. The spicy tuna roll was one of the best that I have tasted and although the ramen filled me up, I just had to eat the roll. It was way too good to leave unfinished. All in all, this place is great and the food is amazing. Amazing food and attentive staff calls for a great experience and that is what I had.
