| - My husband and 3-year-old went there during happy hour (not really meaning to, it just happened to be that time when we got hungry). Happy hour is 3-6pm Tuesday through Sunday.
Garlic butter edamame $2.95 not on HH. This was mainly for our kid because she could eat a pound of edamame herself. Nice and buttery and TONS of minced garlic.
Thai Chile chicken wings $2.99 for 4 during HH: LOVED these. I could smell the fish sauce.
Japanese sesame chicken wings $2.99 for 4 during HH: I love toasted sesame, and the sauce was slightly sweet.
Both wing varieties were perfectly crisp. What I love about them is that they were all "flats" and not drumettes. Since this was HH, not sure if it's always like that, but I always prefer the flats to the drumettes.
Kushi (skewers): octopus, squid tentacles, asparagus, bacon tomato, wagyu beef, pork belly. $1.95-5.95 per skewer, regular price not HH...comes with 4 types of tasting salts to use but I didn't need them at all. Squid tentacles were my fav. Could've done without the asparagus, as it was dry and had no distinguishing sauce or flavor besides grilled asparagus.
Japanese street corn half a cob sliced lengthwise, $1.99 HH. Super flavorful.
Shumai $7.95 not on HH (tiger prawn dumplings). I was lukewarm about this because everything else packed a very flavorful punch. This was just average (or maybe because it was the last thing we ate, I was too full by then to really enjoy it).
Hubby got 2 or 3 beers that were on HH, I had 2 glasses of $9 per glass wine. For all of this food and alcohol, it was only about $70. We usually spend $100-200 on dinner and this was so enjoyable since it was small bites. The fact that it's laid back in there makes it comfortable for us to bring our kid, too...plus she ate a bite of pretty much everything and liked it! It's definitely a place I can take her after school since she goes to school in Chinatown and it would be HH at that time too! Very cool place.
