With most of Japanese Restaurants owned by non-Japanese in this area, this place is a wonderful exception. They really know about the fine art of Japanese Cuisine and it is shown by the innovative specials they have such as the premier delicacies of fugu and kobe beef. It's great for families but when we have a babysitter, we still go there to sit in their candle-lit bistro-like dining room. Our kids love the hibachi section.
