| - Irasshaimase! It is pronounced:"ee-ra-shy-ma-say" Is the correct way to say this Japanese greeting upon entering. It means welcome, come in.
What's funny to me, is not one person here says it properly. To a person who doesn't know the Japanese language or heard anyone speak it, I guess it really doesn't matter. IMO, they should at least make the attempt to say it and then say "welcome" in english. I think a good portion of people don't know what is being said to them upon entering.
Now onto the food. We all started with green tea, and water. You then check off on a piece of paper all the items you want to order. I found that this restaurant takes similar cues from Kinjo's Japanese restaurant's. The greeting upon entering, the "Magic Steak", all the way down to the end where Pocky's are given at the end of the meal. The exception being that only the ladies recieve them. Not the kids or men at the table.
They have Yakitori available after 6 p.m. which we ordered 2 chicken skewers.
the chicken was fairly tasty with a hint of BBQ flavoring.
Also at the table we ordered the beef ribs.(2 to an order), they were tasty but the meat was dry. California roll.(different presentation) rectangular with the avocado and crab on the outside.tasty nonetheless. Gyoza, same as anywhere else. Shrimp tempura (greasy) but tasted fine. Zucchini skewers (Spicy), but good. and a couple of bowls of rice. This meal in it's entirety came to $92. and change.
IMO, it's pricey but tasty as well.
Will I be back ? Probably not. It's not because we didn't like the food. It's probably because of the price and distance from our home.
We eat inside Japanese restaurants at least once a week, and when dining out with a family we are more aware of getting more value for your dollar.
For now, I'll stick with Menyatai, Muku's, or Shikiji's.
