★★★★★ 5.0 Jocelyn Lee · Jan 2026

Came for restaurant week and for $60 you choose from a prefix menu of an appetizer, entree, and dessert which is a great deal. We got to try a bunch of stuff on their menu (soba noodles, eggplant, sukiyaki, sushi, ice cream, and jello), all of which were amazing. We added the miso cod and it was so perfect and buttery. The staff was very attentive and nice. They made sure our tea and water glasses were filled at all times. It wasn't super crowded when we got in at 6:30pm on a week night and then placed filled up very quickly after that so would recommend reservations.

I had an incredible dinner with my mom to celebrate her birthday. This is my 6th time to Restaurant Nippon and my mom's first. She absolutely loved it, and we appreciated the birthday wishes and dessert. We got the Grilled Black Cod with Saikyo Miso, the Eggplant with Nanban Miso, the Shrimp Tempura, and the Tantan Tsukumen. The cod melted in your mouth and was perfectly cooked. Great pairing with the miso. Same with the eggplant! The shrimp tempura was perfectly fried and came with vegetable tempura. The dipping sauce added a savory and salty balance to the crunchy texture. The tantan tsukumen is my personal go-to dish. The dipping sauce is essentially a hearty soup that makes you feel super cozy. It's a hearty pairing with the cold soba noodles. Always 5 stars. I'd also add that eve

Love the appetizers kind of like a kaiseki and the unaju is perfect. My fiancés sushi was good from the piece I tried but he didn’t love it

Hot pot and unagi were pretty good and authentic. Sashimi quality was great too

★★★★★ 5.0 M Ables · Jul 2025

Delightful spot to eat solo, or with company. On this 90 degree day I ordered the summer classic cold soba with a side of nostalgia. I'll be back again to try the sushi some time soon!
