text: best japanese food in the valley it is nice to actually see japanese people eating there myself included it is more homestyle japanese cooking than the overdone overconcocted overamericanized usual fare you will get at most japanese restaurants around here you can get yakisoba saba shioyaki croquettes sanma oyako donburi and a lot of other dishes that you will not find in most of the americanized japanese restaurants nnits not really a sushi place despite the name the sushi is okay but not greati have not been to yasu sushi bistro so cannot do a comparison but it is fine we eat here mostly for the other dishes which remind me of my three years in japannnthat being said i will agree with others that decor is minimal and the service is sometimes a bit slow but the food is usually goodand that is what matters to me it is also a great deal for the family
