    Formerly Wadamitsu. Now a sole owner. Food,service, & atmosphere still as wonderful as ever. Shared the fried oyster meal, tuna-hamachi-salmon (subbed salmon for 1/2 & 1/2 tuna-hamachi) bowl, tofu chicken jellyfish salad & yellowtail sashimi appetizer. The fish was generous & fresh. Will return soon.

    Nothing to complain about here! The food was outstanding and the Blue Fin Tuna was to die for! Service was attentive and our booth was cozy.

    Almost like being in Tokyo. I was just in Japan and the food was like eating in Japan. The sushi was the best I’ve had in LA

    Freid dishes were decent but sushi bowls were not so fresh. Too many items in the menu not available. They had hojicha which is not common but way too light. Overall experience was not great and would not go back.

    Food, service, atmosphere. Everything was great! Started off with Shikuwasa sour, which was very smooth and refreshing! My favorite appetizer was kinpira renkon! There so many options, so I can’t wait to visit and try them all!

    The fish is not fresh compared to Wadatsumi, the former restaurant at the same location.

    The ambiance of the place was really relaxing and nice. The severs were quick to sit everyone down and get everyone’s orders out in a reasonable nice manner. The food was really good and the portions were reasonable for the price, would come again!
