At first glance it looks intimidating. The furniture is... thrifty, but the overall decor is nice. Really warm indoors though. So if you're looking to escape the sun, this place isn't it. The food isn't pleasent to look at but surprisingly flavorful. And well done. The squid was very surprising being cooked right. Most times I've had squid it's been over cooked and like chewing rubber. They use bandanas as a substitute for Hachimaki, a type of Japanese headband. It doesn't pull it off very well. But it was nice to hear the traditional greeting when I entered. The seating arrangement feels a bit crowded. If you're looking to explore different foods this will definitely satisfy that craving, but I wouldn't bring a date here.
