I liked this place and came back twice in a week. The short rib rice bowl was great and really hit the spot. I forgot that they would give us salad and miso soup for the dinner order - and I ordered a side of seaweed salad. The seaweed salad was not expensive but did not taste good. The 125m hot sake was okay. I also tried the shrimp tempura (4 of them in an order) and they were on the greasy side. This place is of good value but not for you if you are looking for real gourmet and "snobbish" Japanese food.
