Best Casual Restaurants in Japantown

Great place to enjoy a slow seasonal prix fix. Expect about 2+ hours of not rushed dining.

Great lunch experience and they have a huge menu and lots of options for lunch sets. If you don't want to do hibachi they have lunch options with sushi, sashimi, poke, and even noodles. Everyone found something for them and enjoyed lunch together.

The "dim sum" small dishes are delicious, innovative, surprising. And they keep on coming. The servers are so friendly, so efficient, and so obviously proud to work at the restaurant. That alone would keep us coming back. PS: wine isn't and can't be the primary issue at a restaurant with these amazing tastes, but their wine is good and really complements the meal.

Fantastic, well prepared and creative dishes. Very high quality- friendly, knowledgeable service in a great space. It is noisy but a fun experience- I’ll be back!

I’ve been to Anchovies Bar on numerous occasions and ALL of it, from the food, service and ambiance, it is top of the line. It’s anchovy season so get there now if you want a real”party in your mouth” experience! The anchovies were incredible and Chef Stuart brings them up to a whole different level w/his amazing and delicious recipes. HIGHLY recommend this place, you’ll be a return customer, it’s all about the seafood!
