Do yourself a favor and start with their No.1 best-seller: the Sansaku-don—a perfect combo of all three in one bowl. It’s a great way to figure out which flavor hits you hardest… then go all in.

For the crab, the staff will even walk you out to choose your own live crab. You get free samples and they’ll gladly snap a photo of you with your pick. They typically cook it half boiled, half grilled—both are amazing, but the boiled version won us over with its sweetness and tenderness.

The portions are smaller than the other restaurants but the quality of the seafood is generally better. Bonus - there’s...

Had the toro, which was pretty good. My small salmon rice bowl was delicious. The rice had a special flavour to it. Reminded me of a little like sushi rice.

It is some where mid point in the market. If you are coming from the road upwards, it'd be on yr right, and if you are coming downwards it'd...
