This tiny little spot seems dingy and sketchy on the outside, but then you walk inside, eat the food and it's even worse.
I got the Hokkaido Don and was thoroughly disappointed.
The uni pieces were super tiny and scarce. There were only 3 thin slices of salmon, accompanied by a few spoonfuls of extra slimy ikura, all atop a bowl of bland, mushy, overcooked rice. The miso soup was also very strange, it had really brown kelp and carrots in it. Everything just seemed like it had been sitting around for a long time.
I wanted to wash the taste of the dish out of my mouth with ice cream mochi but it was so badly freezer burned that it was pretty much inedible.
Protip: Do not get the ice cream mochi. Those things should have been thrown out 5 years+ ago.
Maybe it was the lighting, but everything (displays) looked really cluttered and unappealing. Thought I could find a good fish market closer to where I live, but J-Town By The Sea is definitely not it.
