3.5 stars because there's no half star option. not a lot of seafood toppings for dishes containing them and onigiri was bland. otherwise, very affordable authentic japanese cuisine! definitely a hidden gem.
my friend and i shared 4 dishes and the total cost was 21$! how affordable is that? we got:
onigiri - both tofu and tuna. very bland. minimal tofu/tuna to none
chawan mushi (japanese egg pudding with seafood) - creamy and very different from tradition "pudding". think soup but with a layer of eggs. again, barely any seafood.
sobaro don (spicy minced pork on rice) - probably the best dish! large portion, lots of meat. could use a bit more spiciness but according to my friend it was perfect. very flavourful! the scallions added a touch of freshness to the disg
takoyori - the best takoyori i had in years. it's made to order so you know it's fresh. again, very little octopus pieces. everything here goes well together
super fast service!
