| - Good option for Japanese food right across the street from the Hard Rock. I had a HUGE bowl of pork bone stock ramen, tonkotsu for those in the know. The noodles were unfortunately overcooked and soft, but the broth was nice and light, not as rich as my first tonkotsu experience at Santouka. It also came with blanched bean sprouts, cabbage, bamboo shoots, a few slices of tender pork, and a half hard boiled egg. All the ingredients were pre-added to the bowl, so not quite as nice presentation as most places.
We also shared the omelette fried rice which was nicely cooked thin omelette over fried rice mixed with pork & scallions among other things, and drizzled with a sweet ketchupy sauce, that screamed Japanese comfort food.
Seasoned squid turned out to be tiny bowl of fermented raw squid in a grayish fishy sauce. It was nice with some of the fried rice.
They have a huge array of Japanese dishes on the menu, including sushi. Give it a shot if you're looking for comforting Asian food and don't feel like driving to Chinatown.
