I recently returned here for the first time since the original restaurant was in full swing. It's sad when poor management destroys good restaurants. But the food here now is not bad. Whatever happened to the Sawtelle Kitchen at the Marukai food court in Gardena? That was only open for about 3 months! more

Before they renovated, this place was one of the only (and good) Japanese yoshoku restaurants in LA. Now, it's merely a shadow of its former self, from what I've experienced from management on down. A real shame. more

we were surprised how much the prices had gone up since their recent renovation. once notable for its value, it's now just another place. our fish was overcooked. mismatched design elements leave you scratching your chin. also, behind the restaurant where the cars are parked, it's filthy. more
