General Notes

Amazing place for traditional Japanese food, with traditional presentations. The experience here is not quite like any other restaurant, both in terms of the service and the food. I would highly recommend giving this place a try if you're in Palo Alto!


Positives

> Nice traditional Japanese menu and food. The food is well-made and precise.
> Tip is already included in the price for food! So you can expect to pay like 15-20% less than what you normally would at any other restaurant.
> I really like the interior design and lighting!
> We ordered the matcha tea, and it was really strong and delicious.


Negatives

> A couple of the dishes were a bit bland.
> They use a very modern ordering system, where you enter in what you want onto iPads. I'm not a huge fan of this and I found it to be a bit odd.
