| - We came here on a Sunday and called ahead to get reservations. Service is attentive and quick. Be prepared for the LOUD welcome and farewell every time a patron enters the establishment. The restaurant is smaller than you would expect, and guests are seated at long wooden benches to eat in small groups.
We ordered the prix fixe combo A for each person, which was more than enough food for a meal. They combined servings so that each plate was served to 2-3 people. The servings were generous and delicately plated. To note, we loved the kalbi ribs, beef tataki (delicious dressing), karaage (fried chicken - SUPER MOIST and TENDER), salmon tatake (smoky, peppery flavor to die for), tuna tartare, wasabi octopus appetizer (careful of the kick!),... so pretty much everything we ordered. The only dishes we weren't so pleased with was the fried brie (too heavy after the first one), and the blanched spinach (black sesame dressing too sweet).
Overall a great experience! Everyone was much more relaxed after the initial Sapporo and even joined in the welcoming of arriving patrons. Beware of parking on the street though - paid parking ends after 5pm unless you have a permit. There is, however, a parking lot across the street for around $7.
