Excellent Japanese restaurant with at-your-table preparation of Sukiyaka (the Wagyu version is crazy good, but $$$), traditional Japanese dishes, huge menu, great sushi and side dishes. Don't go here if you are in a hurry! They get very busy during dinner time and dinner can take a while. (Have more sake!)
