Best Japanese Restaurants in Pacific Grove

Sushi was delicious, the menu inventive with plenty of traditional choices, too. The service was exemplary from start to finish, with the helpful and knowledgeable sommelier and server making it extra interesting and fun.

I went her yesterday with my boyfriend to celebrate our anniversary and Valentine’s Day. The service was amazing. I was impressed on how the staff made sure our table was cleaned before each meal. Even when we made a small mess because we ate their flaky croissants the waiter cleaned it. They always made sure our waters were filled and they checked on us to make sure we were properly attended to. The food was absolutely delicious. The truffle risotto was amazing as well as the A5 Hokkaido wagyu steak we ordered. I also loved that they gave us a card and a little plate that said “happy anniversary” made us feel rather special. Definitely would want to go again. Love the experience I had.

First, I was greeted by LUCIO The amazing manager and then I had my favorite favorite Server Rosemarie, who is FANTASTIC THIS YOUNG WOMAN IS A MASTER SERVER AND ALL AROUND GREAT PROVIDER OF AN OUTSTANDING TIME THEN THE ALL-TIME GIRL POWER CHEF CAME OUT, WHO’S THERE FOR ALMOST 20 YEARS AND PERFORMED HER BEAUTIFUL ARTISTIC MORSELS RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES. SMILED ALL THE TIME AND MADE SURE EVERY REQUEST I HAD WAS MADE WITH THE HIGHEST RESPECT AND TRULY CARED ME SHE IS A MASTERCHEF I WANT THIS DIAMOND DYNAMIC DUO EVERY TIME I DINE THERE IN THE FUTURE THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH FOR A MAGICAL TIME

The menu is equally strong on both the usual suspects and innovative dishes. Nothing disappointed. I especially loved the 5-piece jalapeno sashimi. Full bar. All staff were efficient, helpful, and kind.

The food was so wonderful and the staff was so friendly. None of us had ever been here before but we’ll definitely come back soon. Made for a very special birthday :)
