I ordered a yuzu flavored alcoholic drink and it was delicious! That might have something to do with why the wait didn't feel so long lol! Anyways we ordered the Kome set each (amazing), o-toro (it's been so long and it was worth it), nigiri sampler and the midnight sun roll. None of them disappointed and we left with a full tummy. Service was fast and our server was great! Loved the feel of the restaurant and felt very homey. Would definitely return to try other items.

We started with the cornbread, then had the wagyu skewer, the brisket hot pocket, and the brisket BBQ. Every single dish was flavorful, well-executed, and something I'd come back for. The brisket especially was amazing. The vibes were also so cute. It was this fun Western Japanese BBQ joint that makes the whole experience feel unique and cozy. Our waiter, Yoshi, was awesome too--super helpful and gave us great recommendations. Such a great dinner spot, and we will definitely go back.

The beef skewers were pretty good, and the brisket pot pockets were bomb. Probably my favorite thing out of everything we tried! The ribs and chicken wings were good. The ceviche, chicken skewers, and cornbread were just ok. Not bad but not amazing. The brisket wasn't anything revolutionary. All the food was really salty too. I liked the fusion idea a lot! I'd say this is definitely a at least try once kind of spot. The staff were nice and the outdoor seating was nice and cozy and warm even though it was pouring rain.

Both of the sandos were perfect. The wagyu beef sando had a little bit more flavor but it was slight and both are worth trying. Every roll was enjoyable and I felt like each had a little twist that really made the flavors explosive, like a shaved onion or a crispy puff on the side of the roll. The service was stellar and they were easy to book on OpenTable I also tried the green tea mocktail and found it to be light and refreshing and I was happy that it wasn't super sweet My two favorite items were: 1. The Edamame - which were charred in a way that I feel like I've never experienced it before and had such great flavor. 2. The scallop roll had a thinly sliced shaved truffle on top that made the roll simple yet out of this world. Shout out to the manager who came by just to check in. I always think that is such a sweet gesture.

Because of the influx of so many amazing new sushi spots opening up in town. I forget to visit my old favorite spots and neglecting tenten was a big mistake. Their happy hour is absolutely one of the best deals there is and on Tuesdays they have $10 rolls all night which is an absolute steal. I particularly went there on a Wednesday to try their A5 Wagyu sandwich, but because I hadn't been there in so long, I wanted to have all the rolls that sounded so amazing on the happy hour menu that I couldn't even get to the sandwich. Every single role we had was absolutely off the charts. They even had a Toro role on happy hour for $10 which was such a steal. The service and ambience was also as usual impeccable. Can't wait to come back here to try the sandwich on another Wednesday

The uni was a vibrant orange. I was talking with my friend when I first took a bite of the Toro, and literally had to pause the conversation with how surprised I was by its texture, truly feeling like a piece of Wagyu. It was overall just so much sashimi as well for the $42 price tag -- you could honestly split it with someone. They also had a gluten-free menu and provided gluten-free tamari, which was appreciated.

To start, their Gyoza and Caramelized Brussels Sprouts are prime examples of items often seen but enjoyed in a new way. They have my favorite Specialty Rolls in town - filled with top quality fresh fish, original flavor combinations, and the sweet/spicy combo my palate prefers. "Land & Sea," and "Kiss Kiss" are 2 I love to rotate depending on my mood. You cannot go wrong with a variety of fresh fish served in generous portions served in classic but delicious ways, accenting natural flavors. This visit Alisa provided professional service with quick turnaround, and I tried something new - Garlic Edamame is charred and best eaten while dining alone. My favorite Salmon Nigiri is always fresh, low-sodium soy may not be traditional, but cuts the wasabi and was thoroughly enjoyed! Atmosphere is lovely for a strip-mall shop - piano Jazz and cozy booths, along with private dining rooms make this space ready for all occasions!

Parking for the stores is a quick right turn after driving into the complex. Seating is available both indoors and outside on a shady deck. This is not a large restaurant, but the menu is extensive. Many items are a la carte, but there are also full meals with several included sides. A 2-page lunch menu is at the back of the main menu. We opted for edamame to start, a few skewers of yakitori, and 2 lunch special bento boxes. We were amazed by the amount of food in the lunch bento boxes. On top of that, everything tasted fresh and was obviously freshly prepared. My salmon was way overcooked but the tasty teriyaki sauce made up for it. My daughter's pork looked fabulous and she was very pleased with her choice. I thought that pricing was very reasonable given the quality and portion size. We ended up taking food home. We thoroughly enjoyed our extended lunch and would not hesitate to return.

One of the reasons I never came before was that they didn't take reservations and I didn't want to drive 30 minutes and the wait hours for a table.

Happy hour is 4pm to 6pm and the HH menu will help keep the heft of your wallet at a good heavy level. All the food was great. Be prepared for a party to erupt in your mouth for each bite. The multitude of flavors that complement each other harmoniously in each mouthful will touch every part of your pallet. This is the only place that I have been to have this party going on for each dish. Overall I like this place better than its sister restaurant Uchiba. I'll be going to Uchiko soon to determine my favorite of the three but Uchi is at the top so far.

What really sets this place apart is the customer service. The staff is friendly, attentive, and truly make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The vibe is awesome--lively, clean, and the kind of place you want to sit, relax, and enjoy every minute of your meal. And whatever you do, don't pass up the Spicy Wings.

My first time wasn't too memorable and the second time I got the ultra spicy veggie ramen and it was so spicy I cried (which is good haha i have very high spice tolerance so I'm glad I found a spot that can do truly spicy). This time, I got the deluxe Chicken Paitan DX Ramen (the one that comes with the chicken leg). Chicken Paitan DX Ramen: A sweet soy glazed chicken leg is served on a hot sizzling plate with a small bed of bean sprouts marinating in the sauce. The sauce is a sticky, sweet soy sauce that is so delicious. The chicken leg itself is tender, juicy, and has a great skin texture. The skin soaks up the sauce so well and even has some nice charred bits that add to the flavor and complexity of the dish. The ramen itself was great too. A creamy rich chicken broth. I got the spicy level, so one level under the top spice level and it was perfect. Not unbearably spicy, but had a really nice underlying kick. The noodles are a thin yet snappy noodle so it made it easy to eat. I love the corn and mushroom spirals too! Overall, if you come based on this review, make sure to get the chicken paitan dx ramen. There are only 15 served in a day but ask them if they have it because I was able to get one on a Monday night at around 8PM! It's a nice space, good for a date or even a casual hangout. They have tables to accomodate parties of 1, 2, 4, and possibly 6.
