| - Order: Karage, Croquet Curry, Shrimp Fry Curry, Tempura Soba
This the perfect spot for a small business meeting over dinner, catching up with a friend over a meal, or simply dining alone. This place has just gone under renovation as well, so most of the interior has just been redone. The waitresses are courteous and helpful too. They'll even give you the time of day to chat with you if you'd like - one older man did during my dine in experience and it was quite entertaining.
Anyway, the menu they have is extensive, filled with traditional Japanese appetizers and meals. Sometimes that's not necessarily a good sign, but having had a small variety of their dishes, I was quite impressed. The curry was flavorful and the fried sides were juicy and delicious. My favorite though was the karage. The soba noodles were great too, some of the best I've had outside of Japan. Having lived in Tokyo myself, this place brought back pleasant memories to my taste buds. Overall it wasn't food I would die without, though I may kill for it every now and then if I lived in the area. Marketing itself as a typical Tokyo kitchen, it definitely gets the "Tokyo kitchen" part right, yet is far from typical in comparison to the other Japanese places out there.
[Pros]
+ clean, quaint dining space
+ fair price for pretty good food in pretty good portions
+ fairly large menu including many authentic Japanese appetizers
[Recommendation]
+ Karage
