This is a really authentic Japanese restaurant that serves Izakaya and sashimi.
I've been here twice. I remember the first time, I was really impressed with the freshness of the sashimi and the kingyo izakaya set (only makes 10 sets a day). Perhaps it's what we ordered this time around, but the food was underwhelming for me. We ordered the pork Kakuni and sashimi bowl with rice. The pork was a bit dry, but the sides were really good. I especially enjoyed the tofu. The sashimi was really fresh, but they added some cooked salmon in the bowl, which was a it dry. I wish they added uni in it!
They have beer for $3 at lunch. I enjoyed the frozen grapes as a dessert. For $45 for lunch, I feel it wasn't worth it. You pay for quality here, but I didn't find the food prepared well this time around.
