Been to this place 5-7 times over the years.  I think the food is decent but it's not my favorite Japanese restaurant for its lack of cooked fish on its menu as I'm sadly cutting down on my fresh fish intake.  

You may need to wait a bit on weekends…More »

I highly recommend this place for both dim sum and dinner.
