I came for ritual Sunday lunch with my friends. This is a 12 seat place, we took up 8 of the seats as we reserved two 4 stops.
1st course - chilled vegetable soup was nice. It had nice texture and flavors. I chose not to mix it up so much so that I get ribbons of flavors. Refreshing, but had creamy aspects that also made it velvety in mouthfeel that I liked.
2nd course- Petite appetizer. It was very simple and plain, and wished I had more of the paste on the side. Still, decent and beautiful plating.
3rd course (you can get omurice, ramen, black curry) - I got the ramen which was very rich. The broth was thick that it was almost like sauce. The flavor was nice and I didn't think it was overly salty for being reduced down. The pork slices were tender, and I always appreciate getting a whole egg.
You get a choice of beverage. I went with ice green tea and appreciated it was nice strong matcha (not sweet).
For $20, it's not a bad lunch at all. I heard the menu will rotate a bit so I will be keeping my eyes peeled (on his twitter @TakashiOmae the menus are announced) as I would definitely return for the quality and price point. We don't have a legitimate kaiseki here, so I am very excited at the prospect of it once they can serve dinner. It's a welcomed addition to the dining scene and imagine this is gonna be a hard reservation once people know it exists.
