Best WLM Reviews
My first clue was the place was nearly empty during the peak lunch hour when we arrived at noon. However I was pleasantly surprised when the bento I ordered arrived in a timely manner and was loaded with lots of food that all looked good. However, it all tasted funny. Even the sashimi tasted weird. The tempura batter was heavy and soggy. Couldn't put my finger on the problem with the flavors, but most of the food was just not good. I took a lot home, but threw it out cause it was even worse cold. I gave 1 star for the quantity and zero for taste. Only went there because Koharu down the street is gone. That was good Japanese food.
This place is a hidden treasure. The food is phenomenal, the service and atmosphere are wonderful, and I wish I knew about this place sooner! Many of their takeout items aren’t listed on Doordash/Grubhub/delivery apps so look at their online menu and order to pick up if you are wanting take out. Came with 3 types of pickles/kimchee for free! HIGHLY recommend.
Agh. No good. We ordered some nigiri—Uni was liquid and had a pretty rancid taste to it, the salmon did not look or smell like salmon.. every single piece of fish we tried was really just not good or absolutely inedible. I’ve never experienced such a taste/texture with abalone. It was terrible. I know it doesn’t seem like it but I’m trying to be as nice as possible. If you do come here the hot pot looks pretty good but I would not recommend the sushi at all. I cannot believe I spent $100 for two people on four different types of fish, all being so bad to the point we left some pieces behind. Please don’t order sushi here unless you want your wallet to be emptied by underwhelming and possibly expired and/or not reasonably sourced sushi.
Nice neighborhood restaurant with a selection of Japanese and Korean food. We tried their sushi, bento box, ribs, and of course the miso soup and salad (which came with the meal). The portions are large and we had plenty of leftovers to take home.
When I moved from Florida to the area, the first thing I did was to find a authentic Japanese restaurant that I can go on a regular basis. I love Japanese food because I have lived in Japan for over 10 years. I have a Japanese college degree and I have worked in Tokyo for many years. I know my Japanese food, I can tell whether it’s a authentic one or not, sometimes just by look the dishes, of course by the taste as well. The owner has been operating the Akasaka restaurant for over 30 years. The husband is behind the counter making sashimi and sushis. From what I have eaten, I can tell that he is professionally trained, he has passion on what he does and he is proud of everything he presents to his customers. All raw stuff I have eaten here are all very fresh and the best I have eaten in the area. The chef is a honest individual, sometimes I ask for a type of fish, he tells me that the fish is not very fresh today, instead he recommends another fish. Most of the time, I just ask for a “omakase” sashimi and have a bottle of Japanese beer or some sake to go with it. End the meal, I sometimes order a few sushis I like or just have a bowl of rice and miso soup that the wife brings. She manages the front from taking orders to clean tables and cashier. Looks like sometimes she May needs some help but she told me that now days, it’s difficult to find the right people. I was very satisfied for every meal I had here and alway feel that I can’t wait to have another good meal here again when I leave. You won’t find sushi with a lot of mayonnaise on top here, but if you enjoy authentic Japanese food from sashimi, sushi to tempura and other traditional Japanese dishes, this is the perfect place for you.
I had dinner here with my wife before. The restaurant serves authentic food, and it tastes good.
Customer service is good too. It only takes a while to order and for the food to arrive. Atmosphere-wise, some dividers separate customers and give them privacy, but I feel it's a bit clustered maybe due to how things are arranged.
We were seated in the back, so the server didn't come often enough to check on us. At the same time, those sitting in the front towards the sushi chefs are getting the most attention.
The sushi has always tasted fresh and the bento is incredible. All the side dishes were great and the customer service was one of the best I've experienced. This is one of the places I bring people to when they come from out of town or want to get some points with the missus.
We went here for my birthday, and it did not disappoint! I've been coming here for years and it's always amazing. The food is absolutely wonderful and the service is above and beyond. The atmosphere is totally legitimate in every level. Don't miss this one!
