| - Robata on the East side?! Surprised to find this spot, as the rest of the 'hood is mostly Mexican food. Interior is clean and modern like most Japanese places, menu has robata (grilled) dishes, hot/cold apps, and sushi.
The ika yaki was nicely done and served with a citrusy spicy mayo sauce for dipping. Menu also has classic vegetable and meat skewers, but don't think you're going to get a discount Raku experience. Food is decent but not great.
The sushi appears to be a new addition to the menu. Rolls are fairly typical, but I was disappointed that mine were falling apart. The Tropicana (coconut shrimp, cream cheese, salmon?) was a unique offering but was not to my liking (too sweet, too much cheese).
Service during visit was polite and attentive. They have a TV over the bar showing KPOP music videos, which I always enjoy. Location is a bit hard to find. It's behind the gas station at the Tropicana/Pecos intersection, close to the Dunkin Donuts. Drove by several times without noticing it!
