Best Japanese Restaurant in Southside Park, Sacramento

Great great great flavor. I've lived in Sacramento for 2 years. Probably the first restaurant I am blown away by. Not only does it feel actually cool, but meat and veg are high quality. Everything was cooked perfectly with nice crispy edges and tender inside. We ordered nearly half the teppanyaki menu over the course of the night. No misses.

We came for a date night and chose to sit outside, where we spent the evening working our way through several dishes. Every plate was thoughtfully prepared and consistently impressive.
