| - I've had this place bookmarked for a little while and my group chanced upon it after bailing on waiting on seating for sushi and okonomiyaki. The place looks sleek, simple, and clean, with seating arranged single-sided along the kitchen and the wall. I spied an Anova immersion circulator, gas stove, Cuckoo pressure/induction rice cooker, grill station, and a plating/garnish/torching station tucked out of sight---all manned by a team running like a well-oiled machine. The menu was small, presumably composed of only well thought-out and refined creations. I went for the the ebi triple and it was delicious. Every bite was flavourful, with a crispy exterior and succulent core on the shrimp, and a balanced sauce to rice ratio and generous garnish (onions, scallions, pickled ginger, nori strips, mayo-based sauce drizzle). Served in Japanese-style patterned donburi bowls, the portions were deceptively large and filling. Pricepoint seems fair given the quality and portion size, as well as in comparison to uptown donburi counterparts (which I'll say now are decidedly inferior in quality but have a greater variety). I'll be back to try the sake bowl. Recommended
