| - Yup, another 5 stars. I was almost feeling guilty about giving a place five stars after only one visit, but I really do believe they deserve it! This time, there was a group of 6 of us. We walked in, were told it'd be about 15/20 minute wait, which is to be expected without a reservation and a group of six. In the mean time, the host told us we were welcome to visit the bar, but then after a minute or so she asked us if she could get us something from there. I could not for the life of me remember what sake we had the last time, so I threw a couple of descriptions her way and BAM, suddenly I was sipping on the exact same one again. Also, she suggested a non filtered sake, which she warned us would be cloudy. We decided to wait until we got to the table for that one. I was hoping they had the red snapper special that night, but unfortunately it was not on the list. BUT this mackrel dish was, and it was deeLISH! I mean this place just has presentation and delivery down! They brought the sashimi mackrel out, and then took a blow torch to the top of it right there in front of us, yum yum! After ordering our meal we asked for the non filtered sake, and the waitress said it was definitely a good pairing for our food selection, it would nutralize the heat with the suttle sweetness, man was she right, it was like horchata. One couple with us, got some stir-fry tofu veggie dish. It came out sizzling in a pan still cooking. I got to taste it, and I wanted to steal the whole thing. The won tons and dumplings are a must for the BF and I and we were not disappointed. I just love this place, it's definitely not somewhere I can go a whole bunch of times, but right now my record is once a month!
