East Japanese - Farragut

This has always been my favorite Japanese restaurant, but the service used to be very slow about 90% of the time. I'm happy to say that five years later, the service has greatly improved! The food is still fantastic as ever.

The restaurant offers excellent, authentic Japanese cuisine, but I had a disappointing experience with the sushi chef, Yoshi, who exhibited rude and racist behavior towards black individuals. I observed this directly during a visit with my son and his African American friend. Although I used to patronize this establishment weekly, I will not return due to the way Yoshi treated my son's friend. I believe this situation warrants serious attention.

This was my first experience with Chicken Katsu with Curry, so I can't comment on how authentic it is. However, the flavors were fantastic, and everything was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be returning for dinner!

I usually love the food but this time I couldn’t actually get any. We got there at 5:40 when they opened at 5:30, were seated, then ignored until 6:30pm when we decided to give up and leave. I love the (admittedly slow) food but I really need them to fix their service.

Wonderful food. Very authentic. Something very hard to find in Knoxville. The service was a little slow due to them being understaffed, and very busy, but nonetheless very friendly. The place needs a little renovation, but overall great place to go out on date night for good Japanese food, and sushi. The Sashimi was fresh and delicious, and their ramen is delicious.
