Vic ZaudNovember 19, 2014Everything is pretty amazing on this menu. Surprising from the dark exterior. Try the Nagasaki ramen - outstanding. Acorn squash appetizer is amazing too.
Julia KOctober 28, 2013Dengaku Miso (eggplant) was surprisingly tasty for a non-eggplant lover like myself. Will order again!
Brian StraussSeptember 15, 2017Good ocean trout sashimi. Like the volcano roll too. Super cool that this place is right across the street from the Fillmore.
Christine PengJanuary 18, 2014Delicious hamachi kama and buta kakuni. Great to go to for a variety of Japanese "street foods" (e.g., okonomiyaki).
Brian LMarch 14, 2016The private enclosed booths along the side are a fun spot for eating/drinking with friends.
Michael LeisJanuary 4, 2019Always amazing. The vegetable cake and spicy tuna / avocado are unbelieveable
AmberJuly 30, 2017I'm impressed with how unimpressed I was with this place. Sushi was slightly better than all-you-can-eat, karaage was small and sad, and the rest of it was equally disappointing. It's no Yuzuki.- NanaJune 25, 2016We haven't really had any food yet but make sure you eat something before you come here because the service is painfully slow. I am almost dying from hunger
Michelle GreerFebruary 11, 2014Hit or miss. Eggplant was amazing, croquette was nasty. The music sounds like something you'd hear at a nightclub circa 1999 and is very loud.
Jean-Baptiste KaloyaOctober 20, 2017Très bon restaurant qui propose quelques plats locaux comme l’oursin de Santa Barbara ! Intimiste et rapide 🍸💯

"This is better than most AMC’s. There’s a bar inside and theaters with dine-in tables. The theaters are small and cozy."
Tom Maxwell - 8.1
"Excellent Jazz club with good selection of beers and even better live music by local bands. No hipsters or fancy people, just plain old, dark jazz club with cool people."
