My mother introduced me to this restaurant and she always knew where the best Japanese restaurants were since she herself is Japanese. It is very difficult to find good, authentic Japanese restaurants in OC. L.A. there are many. I go here as often as I can. It is one of the better ones out there. Their food and sushi is great and the service is always friendly and good. There are times when I've had to wait to be helped once I'm at a table, but only when it has been busy. The price is a little high for what I have paid in other restaurants, but like the previous reviewer you do get what you pay for. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.
