This place served the biggest, thickest cuts of sashimi I've ever eaten. Secondly, the Katsu Curry was the best I've ever tasted. I'm by no means a Japanese food expert, but I've had my fair share. Will definitely be coming back here to try more.

Excellent Japanese restaurant in Hồ Chí Minh city. Best in D2. Must try restaurant for Japanese cuisine food lovers.
Very nice Japanese style Restaurant in Thao Dien. We went there several times while being on vacation and we will go there again!
if i could give a higher rating to this food i would. while it is not the cheapest, the quality, presentation and taste is so authentic I almost started crying. it tastes like those small wonderful hidden sushi places in mitse or namba in the kansai region. after Japan, i have lived here 3years and to date this is the BEST place ever. i am honored
Its the first Japanese restaurant I tried in Thao Dien. Beyond expectation and always crowded with customers. Really enjoy the lunch set and the price is very reasonable. I was amazed with their sashimi and grilled chicken. Would definitely come back and try some sushi next time!
