Best Japanese Restaurants in Downtown

This gem of a Restaurant has the most unique and beautiful salt water aquarium I’ve ever seen. Unique because it’s located on the restaurant’s ceiling. Also the bottom of the aquarium had several domes to give a fish eye view of the beautiful fish. Pausing underneath the aquarium and gazing into the transparent dome of glass, I felt like a fish gazing at my friends under the sea. We ordered whatever our heart’s desired and there happened to be an absolutely lovely jazz trio there to entertain and delight. I felt Blessed beyond Measure

My friend bryan said it was the best sushi experience he’s ever had he even got hard from it. I personally loved it good food and city view. Tysm. We will be coming back in speedos.

Great experience. Food was great. Service was fast and efficient.

Food is good, service is not great. Very casual place

I took my mom here for her birthday who is half Japanese and she had a wonderful time! We all really enjoyed experiencing flavors that were unique and fun to share with each other. We all ordered the omakase and ordered the almonds and chinmi separately. Maybe the only ding in the experience was the servers mispronounced omakase, which was weird considering it's a high-end Japanese restaurant. They don't put the emphasis on "ma", rather they make it sound like kamikaze which is off-putting at the ordering stage. I loved the Grilled California Holstein Beef Strip the most. It was so simple to look at, but the flavor of the beef with the salt crystals was divine. Loved the fresh seaweed shot with grapes! This made all of us say Wow! The omakase came with a mackerel sushi roll which wasn't on the menu, but it was a flavor bomb. The steamed rice was beautiful with the pork jowl. I could eat that rice on its own though! The miso soup was super tasty! I would skip the shiitake tempura but it's part of the omakase. Too oily, don't eat the whole thing. The new katsu with wagyu beef is a huge amount of food. My mom ate 1/4 of it and had to take the rest home, but my boyfriend ate the whole thing! The cocktails were fantastic, along with the sake pairings throughout our meal. The bartender was stellar. Loved the Yuzu Reviver (vodka) and the Old Fashioned. We left feeling full and satisfied, but not stuffed. It was all delicious! Expect a 2 1/2 hour delectable experience! Enjoy!
