Mike WinstonJuly 22, 2014Treat yourself to some authentic Japanese cuisine at this excellent izakaya. Don't miss the Toro Tataki, Uni Yakimeshi, Gyu Ishiyaki, & Gindara Yuan Yaki. Read about my visit on WinstonWanders below!! Read more
Moto NakamuraDecember 28, 2011This restaurant is best restaurant for Japanese business tripper because taste is exactly same as we can have in Japan. And, they have origianl cold Ramen. This is also good taste.
Everything on the menu is delicious. But make sure you ask which fish are fresh because not all of them are at any given time!- Elaine CourtneyJune 3, 2014Tapas-style food that gives you a bang for your buck. Come earlier and bring a group of friends so you can order a bunch and try all. The selection is wide and you'll find something you like!
EugeneApril 3, 2014Flying solo on biz trip (there's a nice solo booth) Everything was huge. Probably meant for sharing. (tanto means plenty) Got sashimi salad, anago tempura, kaki ponzu, and salmon chazuke. So full
We come here every week. Very reasonable prices, almost all items are delicious. Sashimi salad, simmered taro, duck 💯
- Yevgeny ChertovMarch 19, 2016The rice ball is not as special as everyone says. It's just rice, squished in a ball, and fried with some sauce. I don't know what I expected, but that's what's I got.
Jessica FengJune 29, 2013The yagi onigiri is really something special. If you're not too hungry, ordering that + an entree is enough to share between 2 people. No clam ramen at dinner.
Dave JensenJuly 31, 2013Amazing. Order the … everything. The udon had bits of tempura in it, a wonderful surprise. Long line at lunch but the wait was short.

Try the sashimi salad and yaki onigiri. Two best things on the menu. Kara age is also definitely worth a try.
Lea VerouOctober 29, 2014Amazing sea urchin fried rice! Also really good beef in stone pot. Definitely recommended.
Denis S.July 30, 2018Sashimi is great, rice ball is nothing special just fried rice, duck is nicely cooked, rice with sea urchin is blend.- The sashimi salad, nabe udon, and garlic steak was bomb! Skip the karaage.
Karolina 🦖October 8, 2015For dinner take different flavor rice balls instead of regular rice. You won't be disappointed.
- Cindy LiNovember 21, 2011Dishes really small plan to order several. Don't get fried duck, chicken, or shrimp ball. Garlic beef pretty good (~4oz) and fried tofu.
Try the Yagi onigiri.:. The slight crunch on the rice and delicate flavor of the fish is a perfectly yum combo- Derek TangJuly 26, 2023TANTO Japanese Restaurant at 7 minutes drive to the northeast of Sunnyvale dentist Derek H. Tang, DDS
Francis TanMay 28, 2017Its a bit of a meh really. I guess its good enough but doesnt compare with the japanese restos in Asia
William ChangNovember 16, 2013Make sure to bring your A game when you order the ice cream because they give you about a pint!!
CherylAugust 25, 2014Everything was delicious despite the unkept condition of the restaurant. Service is slow, tables and utensils are sticky, and everything is dirty. Don't come here for a date. Manage your expectations.
Tom McGhanFebruary 7, 2011A teeny-tiny side-bowl of rice is almost $2, so check ahead of time if you're getting rice with your order. Good luck finding something on the menu that comes with rice, though.
Kat 🐱January 15, 2016Average grilled yellowtail, grilled chicken cartilage, sashimi and sea urchin on scallops.
Lunch here is not as expensive as dinner. Definitely stop by here for a delish and reasonably priced bento!
Jonathan MarinaroNovember 13, 2010Go for the stone plate beef and the hamachi! Fantastic true Japanese food!
- This is a great place to grab a tasty & reasonably priced Japanese lunch! d(^_^o)

"Love their mini fondue waffle and their taro milk tea! If u want something lighter, choose the shaved ice. They have lots of different flavor! Crowded though and small:( (3 of 4 petals via Fondu)"
