Japantown
San Jose's oldest Japantown restaurant has been slinging comforting bowls of udon and crispy katsu since 1957. The no-frills, booth-lined dining room feels like a step back in time: order a bento box, settle into the worn cushions, and soak up decades of neighborhood history.
family-run since 1957

unpretentious comfort food
