This is the best authentic Japanese food you will find. It is run by an old Japanese couple who moved here in the 70s and make the food their parents made. This is not a sushi restaurant. But has lots of the other Japanese favourites - tempura, yakitori, tonkatsu, onigiri, kushi-katsu, gyoza, yakisoba, miso-shiro, tofu. It is a simple small bar-style place. Not to be missed.
