| - We went to Hanaya Garden today for lunch. You walk in (past the jewelry, sword, and lucky bamboo sale displays?), order at the counter, and then pick up your entrees once their done.
We tried the teriyaki chicken and hibachi shrimp. Both were made to order, flavorful, came with rice and veggies, and included a side of shrimp sauce for dipping. Although the entrees were $5.95 and $7.95 respectively, their drinks were cheap ($1.25 with refills) and you don't have to leave a tip because it's self-serve once you order and pick-up your meal.
We sat by the makeshift waterfall (I guess that's where the "garden" comes in), watched a little of the news on their big screen TV, and wondered whether anyone ever bought any jewelry, swords, or lucky bamboo. You wouldn't know that it's a retail shop, too, until you walk in; there's nothing outside advertising it.
Sure, it's not high-class Japanese food, but it was fresh made and was enjoyable for a quick lunch.
