5 stars for service and value!
Noticed that more than half of the customers spoke Japanese. That's usually a good sign. There was a good mix of different age groups too.
The atmosphere here is casual and relaxed. We did not feel rushed.
The quail egg kushiage is a must!! Two eggs per order and only $1.75! This is what's gonna bring us back here!
The lotus root kushiage was really good too and only $1 per order. If you are not familiar with lotus root, the taste and texture are similar to a water chestnut. Both have a mildly sweet flavor and a slight crunch to it.
The seared beef tongue ($6.50) and Chilean seabass (@$13.50, that's almost unheard of!) were hits for us.
The yellowtail carpaccio ($7.80) came with 8 pieces, topped with homemade tomato salsa, thin slices of red onions and greens. The fish was fresh but the sauce/seasoning didn't quite do it for me. I'd probably go with the regular yellowtail sashimi instead.
My boyfriend enjoyed the Tonkatsu rice bowl but I thought the pork was a bit tough.
Lastly, the yuzu sorbet ($3), with its mild citrus falvor, was a refreshing way to end the dining experience.
Huge parking lot shared with other nearby businesses.
