I've been waiting for this place to open for months. My mom and I are big fans of Everyday Noodles and we were super excited when we found out that the owners were opening up a Japanese style restaurant in Shadyside.
Upon entering, you will notice some high top tables to your left and the bar before walking to the dining room in the back of the restaurant. I would like to note that it is on the smaller side, but it's a very beautiful restaurant. They have sake bottles within the wall that are beautifully showcased.
We both ordered Shrimp and bacon Yakitori and Lamb Yakitori. It was so delicious that we decided to order seconds. The lamb was so flavorful and juicy, I highly recommend getting this if you come here. My mom was a huge fan of the bacon and shrimp. The bacon has a nice smokey taste to it, yum!! You get about 3 pieces on the skewer.
My mom ordered the shrimp tempura donburi and I ordered the chicken donburi. The bowls are extremely filling (there's so much rice at the bottom of the bowl)! The chicken has mushroom, onion, cabbage and an egg sauce drizzled on top! The shrimp tempura had eggplant and other veggies that mom mom added instead of the peppers. We got miso soup on the side which came with our dinners.
The service was very accommodating and friendly:) I love this little addition in Shadyside and will be sure to return with my friends!
