This tiny little restaurant has only 7 tables and about 6 chairs at the bar facing the chef.
We went in on a Saturday night and managed to get a table. It was close to the door and there is no buffer from the cold so make sure you later up if you go in the winter and potentially have to sit near the front.
We were given two small appetizer dishes on the house, smoked salmon and kidney beans in a light sauce with sesame seeds. These alone could suffice me if they kept bringing more. The salmon was fresh, salty and thinly sliced.
They have quite a few tapas options to share, so we chose the calamari with hot dipping sauce, which was decent. The Daruma potato had the same sauce as the kidney beans, so it was automatically one of my favourites. Anything would taste amazing with that sauce. Next was the chicken meatballs on a skewer. Guess what? Also has some of that magic sauce.
The seaweed salad was the standard at all restaurants. The gomae on the other hand was the only disappointment. While I liked that they used shoots instead of the spinach leaf, the sauce was waaaay too sweet and grainy tasting.
The couple rolls we had were pretty run of the mill but fresh.
My one rainbow roll ( vegetarian) came with a "special sauce" which turned out to be thousand island dressing so I didn't bother with it.
All in all a pretty good meal with fantastic service.
