A visit here is like dinner with dear old friends. Coach and his wife must have time-traveled to Lake Merrit direct from ancient Japanse palaces. Regular clients get their own wooden sushi drinking box -- decorated and displayed on the walls. Watch out! Coach is fond of sneaking up and refilling sake when your eyes are turned. The fish is superb, and new menu items appear monthly. Last night Japanese sweet potato was among our tempura items. Fabulous! Since discovering Coach, we won't go anywhere else.
Pros: Service, menu variety, location (on Lake Merrit, right off highway exit)
