Best Japanese restaurant in Bakersfield, hands down. Their sushi is to die for (Jason is an awesome sushi cook). The service is great, though some of the waiters/waitresses can be hard to understand. The teppanyaki is fun for the family, and they serve just great food with it. I've gone there many, many times because you just can't get enough!
