| - There are so many places to choose from on the Baldwin strip. Some more pricier than others, and some with more mediocre food than others. Some having long lines ups (Kinton ahem) that seems impossible to get a seat.
I really liked this small place, upstairs above a really good and cheap korean restaurant. This one seemed to have more variety and quality food than the other ones around.
Sitting at glass tables, the decor is modern and artsy, with an asian flare without being too in your face, except the horse face which i found amusing.
The combos are around $16-18 which may seem like a lot, but there is lots of food. We also shared a cheaper Udon noodles for about $12.
Our Teriyaki combo came with lots of tempura, beef teryaki on a bed of cabbage, 9-12 pc sashimi, rice salad and homemade ice cream. I even had some left over for dinner.
The fish was really fresh tasting and generous portion size.
The seafood spicy udon was a change from the usual. Lots of seafood and clams with a fish broth that I couldn't stop drinking.
The service was really friendly. Everything seemed very detail oriented and delicate which I appreciated.
I don't know about the Korean food on the menu. Makes me wonder because of the Korean place downstairs. It's probably cheaper downstairs, so I would probably skip it.
This place is small, so great for a quiet date or quick dinner like we did!
