This place is located in a little strip mall off Moeser and San Pablo. Though a Japanese restaurant, it is owned and run by Chinese. I used to love eating here, but the restaurant was sold to the old owners of Original Peking down the street a while back. So, I don't quite enjoy the food as much as I used to. Anyways, people come here mostly for the ramen lunch sets. There are just so many (dozens and dozens) of combinations to choose from, and they do get quite creative. On the non-ramen side of the menu, I have always liked the katsu chicken curry. This place is not very big and usually quite busy with locals.

This little restaurant has been a long time favorite. I used to live nearby and ate here more frequently. On a recent trip to the Bay Area, I found it to still be a great place to eat. Good thing they expanded as it used to be tiny. Love the combination plates for variety. Great place to go on a foggy or rainy night for a hot bowl of noodle soup. Charming, comfortable atmosphere and casual service. Take friends or your family along.

GREAT FOOD! Truly an assortment of Japanese food to choose from, including a variety of Donburi's (over rice), Sushi, Ramen (noodles), and combinations. But I must warn you, this restaurant fills very quickly, and you may find yourself arm in arm with other tables due to lack of space (not recommended for claustrophobics). As for the sushi, try the spider roll, a huge favorite for myself and many other people I know. I also recommened the chicken curry cutlet! mmm

This is one of my fave restaraunts!!! James, the owner, is the nicest man, and the atomosphere is great. Be forewarned -- it fills up quickly. You must be there for dinner when it opens at 5:00. Otherwise, you'll have a wait. But it's well worth it. P.S. - They have an extensive menu. Be sure to try the Beef Rolls dinner, it's excellent and unusual!

This is the busiest Japanese restaurant in El Cerrito. They serve Sushi and Ramen (Japanese Noodle). They just expanded their space double in last month. The owner, James is very nice person. All their family work in the restaurant.
