J Town is a little plaza full of little Japanese restaurants and shops. Very small plaza but I am able to find a parking spot the three times I came here!
Shiso Tree Cafe is a very cute place. Through the door that gets stuck with strong winds, you are greeted with heavy quilt curtains. To your right are shoes that belong to the people in the booth -with zashiki style seating (low table, no shoes).
You will then be greeted by a waitress and be taken to your table.
Firstly you must know that it is BOTTOMLESS refills on hot tea and coffee. That's amazing in an Asian place! Also, I want to say ALL (but it could just be MOST?) of their teas are from David's Tea (LOL)
Tea/Coffee prices: $2-4
I prefer to visit here during the afternoon for teas and fries. I didn't quite like the pasta dinners. This is a Japanese/Italian fusion, they make spaghetti and pasta dishes with Japanese influences. I love the creativity but it doesn't taste as good as I hoped. The fries are still good though! And it's a very nice date spot for afternoons.
