| - Huh I think Shiso Tree Cafe has been around for a while actually! Don't know why there's no review up. In any case this little cafe located @ J-Town serves an interesting combination of Italian and Japanese (Wafu) pastas, along with pastries and different flavors of coffee.
On my visit, there was only one waitress working the small seating area, but service still took rather long. The waitress also forgot about our coffee orders once, but was at least apologetic and trying her best.
The food itself was quite delicious -- the carbonara was creamy, eggy, and bacon-y, with green peas to add extra flavor, texture, and color to the cooked to al dente pasta. The other pasta we ordered, a wafu pasta, was interesting and good, though the carbonara was definitely superior.
There aren't many good pasta places in the area from what I know and each pasta dish is quite cheap ($10-$12, iirc), so this is totally worth a shot if you haven't tried it already!
