    Very nice ambiance, very good food (sushi is phenomenal!). Server was great, very great customer service. They provided us with a hotel towel before the meal, which is very reminiscent of Japanese culture, and also gave a nice small bowl of edamame as an appetizer that came with the meal. Prices may be slightly higher than other Japanese restaurants in the area, but the service makes up for it. Would recommend to anyone.

    The food at Daikanyama is very good, upscale. Ambiance is nice, upscale. The full Japanese menu is nice as well ... katsu, udon, etc. Service is good, but maybe not great. I wish they would have checked on us more often. We would have ordered another round of drinks. We'll be back.

    We go to Daikanyama regularly. We enjoy the nigiri sushi, the fancy maki rolls, the chawanmushi and a number of the specials. Comfortable environment. Pleasant service. Easy parking. The sushi doesn't seem adventurous like Sushi Ran in Sausalito or Cafe Sushi in Cambridge but is reliable and always hits the spot. We will be back.

    We got 4 rolls, all very good. We also got seaweed salad and gyoza, also very good. We had come in the past and got a boat, definitely enjoy the individual maki rolls better.
