| - Went there for the first time tonight with a friend. I was thinking of getting my usual fare which was Chiraishi Don, but as I scanned through the menu (couldn't find Chiraishi Don, but found Hiraishi Don which may be a typo) I saw Salmon and Salmon Roe Irashi Don. Just one quick verification from our server and he confirmed that it was what I think it was (salmon sashimi on rice). Immediately ordered that one, regardless of the price $13 before taxes and tip.
When it arrived, the size itself was very disappointing. It's less than half I would get from the other cheaper places that's for sure. However, the dish itself was flavorful. So much so that after talking with friends while eating that I didn't feel hungry at all, I would even say I was satisfied, though I couldn't because I ordered one other appetizer to share with a friend after eating.
That appetizer was the deep fried shrimp heads $5 for a small plate that I could theoretically inhale in a couple of minutes. It was good, I never eaten something like that before (or at least not as a dish, I've eaten whole deep fried shrimp before).
Overall, I was happy with the food, like I said it is pretty pricey for what you get. Although you'd get satisfied as a gourmet, it's not the place to go to when you're really hungry.
Although....
I still have to try their ramen, that's my next dish going there. The pictures look really good.
