Tsukune. The best thing ever. Asparagus wrapped in bacon . Pork medallions . Mini sausages . Seaweed salad . Burdock root in some kind of amazing sauce. Pretty much everything.

Get a seat by the bar . Faster service and you get to watch the chefs cook up your skewers . I always get the nanbanyaki, chicken tail and lamb .

Natalie Burdick

Sitting at the bar is best. Takeshi's a great host & a reason this place always feels so welcoming, that & the grill's smoke & the warm woods. But it's the yakitori that rocks, Uzura, Hatsu , Tan etc.

Katie Dong

Sit at the bar for a good experience. But if you really rather have a table, make reservations in advance. Its a small place and always packed even on a weekday.

The Lamb with salt (not garlic ) and black cod are a must. Be sure to order an overflowing glass or two or three of kurosawa sake with your meal. I was a nanbankan addict for months!

Alyssa B.

Enjoyed little plates to share with my friends with warm sake . Authentic taste, excellent service.

Nanbankan is more traditional Japanese cuisine. Try something from the great selection of exotic meats, fish and sushi ! You can get a ton of food for your money! -Candice Kumai, Top Chef

Steve Graff

I had a reservation , arrived on time, seated, promptly ordered. I waited over an hour for my food and only got it after several complaints. I went home hungry; had to cook dinner for myself.

Rafferty Yao

Great light and health. A must try, Chilean Sea Bass is really good.

Scott Campbell

Sit at the bar and enjoy watching the kitchen work magic, then rebel in tasting it.

Meilissa

Wagyu Kobe Beef , Hatsu , Live Scallop , Black Cod . That is all.

Recommend a bottle of Kagatobi if you're a big sake drinker.

Make a reservation unless you want to be treated very rudely
