There's definitely a lot of good things to say about this place, but overall I can only give it 3.5 stars.
Had this place bookmarked for the longest time and I finally made it here this morning for brunch. The place is small but it was fine since we were the only ones there this morning at 11am. I brought my parents here as well since they were never able to visit me when I lived in Japan, I wanted them to experience some of the very Japanese local food that I used to eat which I can tell by some of Yelp reviews.
I was really hoping to give it 5 stars but there were a few dishes that fell short of expectations. Here is what we ordered:
1) Drip coffee was tasty and smooth - 4/5
2) Latte/Matcha Latte - tasty but wasn't hot - 3/5
3) Shui Mai - home made - very good (this is Japanese style so don't compare it to Chinese dim sum) - 4/5
4) Gyoza - nothing special - 3/5
5) Japanese breakfast - perfectly done grilled mackerel - 4.5/5
6) Doria - best dish! 5/5 -we all loved this dish!
7) Hamburg with rice - a bit dry and lacking in taste - 3/5
8) Katsu don - 3.5/5 - nicely done!
9) Omu Rice - 3/5 - taste was only okay
We got excellent service and the food was prepared very promptly. It was also very nice to get 10% off if you tell them you are a Yelp member. It was a great find and if we are in the area, we would definitely be coming back. We still need to try their curry dishes and desserts.
