This is another hidden gem that is well known by locals. Situated in a mini mall with a supermarket, this place has some of the best tempura I have ever tried. I love the "love boat" dish that can be shared with others.

I hope it never changes!

Old establishment which continues to serve good food at a reasonable price. Not very big, so hard to accommodate very large parties. Decent menu selection.

4 Stars: Looking for Tempura? (by olivia s.)

If you love tempura (fried shrimp & assorted veggies) but hate the oily factor, then this is the place to go. They have the best tempura I've ever had because its super crispy, yet you won't find it soaked with oil like other Japanese restaurants. They have great Batayaki (a beef stir fry type dish) that is excellent...and tastes even better the next day! This is a modest little restaurant that serves great food at reasonable prices, so don't expect a trendy venue that lures you in with quirky sushi names. Its just one of those places that doesn't look as great as other restaurants, but the good service and great food will keep bringing you back.

PRO: Crispy tempura and the Batayaki. Great service.

CONS: Limited street parking especially on weekends
