Best Casual Restaurants in Japantown

I ate here last evening which was Thanksgiving. Food was delicious. I had shrimp, scallops and calamari. My son ordered steak and lobster. The food was fresh and seasoned perfectly. It was great fun watching it cooked in front of us. Also the people at our table were friendly and kind. It was a special holiday experience.

10 out of 10, this place was AMAZING! The blended service of ordering items of the menu and Dim sum style with the carts was fantastic. Our server gave up great advise in only ordering a few things from the menu then waiting for the carts to come around. We went here for my wife's birthday and she was so happy we did. We will for sure be back for another special occasion.

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

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!
