+0.5. JRK is one of the few places where their soup is not overwhelmed with MSG and I don't go home after feeling I need to down litres of water.
I love ordering their special items. There's usually something new or different from their Facebook page or their menu on the wall. When I went today, they had a special Toro and uni don, see picture. What I also really like about their menu is their Ramen + (don or handroll or whatever) combo. For just a couple of extra dollars, I can get a mini chirashi don.
The waitress is really nice. I quite enjoy her friendliness though it can be a bit overwhelming for those who don't like the super attentiveness. She makes you feel like you're not just coming into a restaurant, it's like going over to a friend's place.
Also, they don't take credit card here. Only cash or debit!
