OMG you can't pass up this Japanese restaurant if you want authentic Japanese food in Tacoma. Very unassuming exterior & they only do take out orders. Their website has pictures so you know what your ordering. We are from Hawaii so most Asian restaurant don't taste that good to us, but this place was right on the money. Speaking of money the prices are so reasonable for what you get. Young lady who answers the phone speaks English well so don't have to worry about accent or language barrier.One plus plenty free parking on side of restaurant. We ordered the sukiyaki and nabe udon, both came with everything and was piping hot (sometimes when you pick up your food it's cold or warm this was not the case), it was HOT didn't have to heat up.Highly recommend this restaurant, they definitely take pride in their food they pump out and it's all done to perfection! Our go to in Tacoma

Start off by saying all of the food was fantastic. That's the most important part of a restaurant, right? Sat at the sushi bar and watched the chef make very pretty rolls.The customer service wasn't great. It felt like they were down multiple people but I don't really know. It took forever to get seated (20 minutes with hardly anyone in there and open seats), forever to get (delicious) food, no water refills. I know the one guy working the front looked busy but I had to grab him to pay as well since we had an event to go to and time was running out.Very likely would have ordered more rolls because the portions are pretty light but didn't want to wait around all night. Ended up ordering more food down the street.The bathroom sink is shared, which is fine. But the light was burned out and it was so dark I couldn't see much. Seems like an easy fix, hope they get to that soon.

The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, and the staff was very attentive and friendly. The sushi was fresh and beautifully presented, and very authentic Japanese sushi. The restaurant's attention to detail and the chef's skillful preparation made the dining experience truly exceptional. I can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious offerings!"

Food is excellent. Service was great. Only thing I would say is annoying is how they want you to make reservations in advance. The last 3xs I've gone in, there was only one other couple there. It's not that busy.

First time back in almost 20 years after moving back to the area and they did not miss a beat. Dinner was excellent, the order was fast and everything was correct.Very much looking forward to coming back soon but hopefully for in person dining instead of to go

Before I start this review, I want to say that their phone number is 2537983790 and not whatever google or their webpage has outdated. I told the owners already so hopefully they change this.A wonderful authentic Japanese restaurant. During covid they are opened and they are also serving only take out orders. Very sweet workers and owners. I ordered the sashimi entree for my dad, a saba shio dinner set for my mom, and a pork tonkatsu dinner bento entree for my husband. I was pleasantly impressed with every bite, as the flavors are just robust. The fried items had fresh oil taste to it, and the sauces that go with it were impeccable. I love how they had a lot of tofu and seaweed in their miso soup, it was hearty and had a good umami taste to it. We will be back.

I had not realized there was an authentic Japanese restaurant in Tacoma as the closest one I had visited was Miyabi Sushi in Tukwila. The opportunity to visit here was when my boyfriend and I were searching for a place to rent out and we grabbed dinner at Tama Sushi as it was nearby. The exterior was rather small but there was only a few cars and one of the cars we had parked right next to was a take out order so they were leaving after we got out. As we entered, we were greeted by the sushi chef and waitress then told to seat ourselves where we felt comfortable. We decided to take a seat at the sushi bar as it wasn't often we did that. The interior matches the lighting, spacing and decorations of an authentic Japanese restaurant with tatami shades cover the window, colorful lanterns are aligned on the wall and other signature décor. J-pop was playing faintly in the backyard where it was pleasant and not blaring, which I also think fits the aesthetic. Our waitress, Emily was very friendly and professional. She made sure to give us extra time to look over the menu and ensured that our order was exactly what we wanted. She did a fantastic job checking in on us, and we were even surprised when our sushi chef checked up on us and refilled our waters. It was a wonderful experience and probably one of the closest experiences we'll have of true Japanese restaurant dining. The chef made nice conversation was us as well, and even spoke with us in Japanese as we are both learning for a future trip to Japan. Overall, it was such a wonderful experience and we would love to return again to try our more of their sushi and entrees!

Authentic Japanese cuisine, friendly staff, very clean too. For those who are squeamish eating raw food, they also offer an excellent variety of authentic food that is cooked.
