    Causal dining…great place for midweek lunch. Since it wasn’t busy, food came quick soon after ordering. Quality of food was good especially for sashimi. Overall, great experience and will go back to try more dishes.

    It was OK - tbh a little disappointed w the fish (had the omakase sashimi and various Osaka specials…felt a bit overpriced) however the curry was excellent

    Not a fan of their white gohan served with the “teshoku” lunch sets. What I expected for place like this was short grain Koshihikari rice but what we got was medium grain Calrose type quality which may suffice for everyday household use in the states but would never be served in Japan.

    Formerly Wadamitsu. Now a sole owner. Food,service, & atmosphere still as wonderful as ever. Shared the fried oyster meal, tuna-hamachi-salmon (subbed salmon for 1/2 & 1/2 tuna-hamachi) bowl, tofu chicken jellyfish salad & yellowtail sashimi appetizer. The fish was generous & fresh. Will return soon.

    Nothing to complain about here! The food was outstanding and the Blue Fin Tuna was to die for! Service was attentive and our booth was cozy.
