I was actually, somewhat hesitant to come back here. Last time I ate here was pre-pandemic. I was surprised that even after all this time, their quality of their food hasn't changed. What makes me like their food is their unique side dishes that you dont find in mainstream Japanese restaurants. You might see the usual white and red pickled radish, but here you get a good amount of veggies. From bean sprouts to seaweed, that are slightly pickled and sweet that resets your palate, making the whole experience refreshing. We usually order the Makonouchi Bento box, that has an assortment of sushi, veggie sidedishes, and some miso soup. I did notice that the service can be a bit slow (when i asked for the bill), and the atmosphere, although still ok.. It seems quite old, small, and has not gone through any renovations. Despite that, this place has some fond memories and their food is...

The ambiance and smell reminds me so much of Japan. They give generous servings for standard restaurant price. The food is good and the crew are proactively attending to their customers (without bidding, actually).

An old Japanese man (I think he is one of the owners) was making the dishes alongside his Filipino co-workers. I find this fact interesting and enjoyable.

I hate the crappy way the parking is built though. The parking space in front of the restaurants is so small while the bigger paid parking space needs a fair amount of walking. The restaurants in the area can be potentially losing clients...
