“ Everything was so good ate so much!! Danya was our server and was great and very kind! food came fast and all the desserts were so yummy!! Going to come back for sure :) ”
“ This restaurant has big fame on social media. We ordered the seasonal seafood tempura bowl and the beef slice bowl. The tempura batter is well done! Sadly we didn’t have room for dessert. They look absolutely amazing too! ”
“ Great service and ambiance—lucky to have been sat in the back! I came here with my mom as a small celebratory dinner and everything was worth getting but we both agreed the dessert outshone the mains. Get the set if you can—it’s only a bit more up charge but the steamed egg is very well made. And of course, must get the two desserts at the end. Bellevue is lucky to have this place!! ”
“ The food was absolutely delicious—full of rich ocean flavors and beautifully presented. I especially loved the Creamy Hokkaido Uni Udon. Scott provided excellent service—friendly, attentive, and made the dining experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended! ”
“ I have been wanting to go here since they opened just a little over a year ago and finally had the opportunity. Their dishes are beautifully plated and the flavors are amazing. Scott was our server and he was wonderful. Very kind and attentive as we ordered about half the menu between two people Looking forward to coming back and bringing more friends/family to try ”
“ We stopped by on a late Sunday night and didn’t have to wait long, which was a nice surprise. The food was delicious, fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Danya helped us with our order and brought everything to the table. He was incredibly friendly and made us feel so welcome. We’ll definitely be back! Next time, we’re excited to try the ice cream from the to-go window. ”
“ Literally heavenly. First off, the host managed pick up order, reservation, and wait listed guests smoothly and efficiently despite the place being quite busy (and this is coming from a middle school teacher and 9 year camp director. Management skills were on point!). Danya, our server, was friendly, knowledgeable, and gracious with helpful recommendations. He took great care of us. And the FOOD-we tried the umi tendon, dashi udon, uni udon, and sashimi tendon and each bite was better than the last. Seafood was fresh and succulent, tempura was crisp and well seasoned, broth was rich. Perfectly cooked, unique variety that we havent had elsewhere, and the included chawamushi is a surprising star! 10/10 would recommend. ”
“ The 1.5 hour wait was a bit painful but worth it! The staffs are so nice and friendly. The tempura was made well and the ingredients are in good quality. The beef don has a strong mushroom flavor from its sauce. The kohaku sauce also tastes nicely spicy and good! ”
