My boyfriend overheard someone talking about this place and I'm sooo glad he did! I love Japanese food and I feel like even though there's definitely an American influence, every dish we ordered was done really well.
We started with the Udon fries, which are Udon noodles that are fried and covered with a sauce that tastes EXACTLY like the spread from In n Out. As an In n Out fan, this was super exciting for me. It's the perfect munchie food.
We also got the Traditional Octopus Takoyaki. I've had takoyaki before and I thought it was just ok. But this takoyaki was sooo good! Each piece had a good amount of octopus, which I was super excited about. There's nothing I love more than tender, grilled octopus. I also really liked the shredded pickled ginger on top.
We also ordered a dish called greens and beans that I kind of didn't like. I loved the pork belly but the natto (fermented soybean) wasn't my thing at all. I'd order something else if you've never had natto and aren't that adventurous. I definitely don't blame the chefs for that though. It was a good dish but it wasn't my taste.
The dessert menu looked really unique and delicious but I was too full to order it. I also know that they're planning on eventually putting in some beer taps, but for now there are none.
I'm definitely going to be back to try more takoyaki flavors and dessert. (And more hip hop!)
