I cannot think of anything bad to say about this place other than the prices are definitely high. But if you play with your order a little bit, the total bill won't kill you. Just don't try to order the whole menu.
My favourite dish from this place is definitely the raw shrimp. They are big and flavourful at times. I often order their Chirashi Don. It is fresh and good value compare with some other joint. But today, i tried out the Ematei Ramen. I tried to get more hot food this time around. I like the noodles and the meat. I was surprised with the butter added to the noodle. A cheap and easy way to add flavor to it. i also ordered the Black cod head appetizer. That was the highlight of the day. It just makes me to order maybe just hot dishes on my next visit. BTW. One of the reason that this place is my favourite after so many years is their giant menu. Compare to other authentic Japanese restaurant, their menu is just massive. i highly recommend this place over the others.
