Stepping into this restaurant feels like stepping into a Tokyo foodstall. Which is quite an accomplishment for a restaurant on a random residential street in Burlingame. The restaurant is small and cramped and hot. Half the space is taken up by the kitchen, which looks out over a counter onto the five or six tables. No website, which could be a sign of authenticity, as could the all-Japanese kitchen and waitstaff. Here are some Google Image results . The lunch special is plentiful. I had ramen, tofu curry, and gyoza (potstickers). Service was chaotic but also super-friendly. Go for the ambience alone if you can't get to Tokyo anytime soon. 723 California Dr, Burlingame, CA 94010
