| - Recommended by a work colleague, attended together. A little tricky to find by street address alone but located right on train track across and down from Taco, near parking garage and across from the media school. It was a Tuesday night and the place was packed, with a wait. It is a small place (hope you like cozy) with a combination of long tall table seating, short shelf against the wall, bar and traditional sit down. I can only imagine the wait on the weekends. We started off with some small plates, hands down the KUROBUTA PORK AND GOLDEN SCALLOP GYOZA did not linger long. Could have easily put another plate away, def recommend. The TORI KARA AGE (JAPANESE FRIED CHICKEN) I thought was OK. I would pass next time, but then again not a big fried fan. The LOW COUNTRY SMOKED PORK BELLY bun was again decent. We also tried one of the featured sushi rolls and some salmon tartare, both were decent. The FIRE N ICE Ramen - kimchi broth, hot smoked salmon, fresh mint, cabbage, shaved carrot, radish, black sesame, was every bit of wonderful and I do recommend. We ended the meal with some flavored soft serve they feature, which was a very appropriate ending after all the spices and flavors we encountered. The bar features sake, wine, and beer. Spices offered on the side to use at your own discretion include soy sauce, sesame oil, and Sriracha sauce. The crowd mostly was comprised of young professionals.
