| - After our fruitless Slider-venture, we somehow ended up coming here on a whim.
This place is a small restaurant in an unassuming shopping center. At most it could probably hold about 40 small people, but don't let that stop you from sampling their goods.
I found the restaurant charming. The menu is small and there are several versions scattered about the restaurant, including one posted in front of the door so you can see what they're offering as soon as you enter. You can order sushi, selecting nigiri by the piece or from a handful of cut rolls. There's also hibachi, with 2 grill tops available and two options to choose from (new york steak and 2 skewers of yakitori or the steak and 3 pieces of shrimp). You can have steamed rice or fried, and the meal came with a bowl of miso soup and a salad (garnished with sesame seeds at the table). The three of us opted for the hibachi meals, and our chef was a 72 year old oji-san who was very polite. He cooked up our food while talking with us about Japan, joking about golfing & skiing. The food was simple and clean, without the use of MSG or anything weird. As such, it wasn't particularly exciting but it was satisfying.
After our meal, we were given a choice of ice cream flavors to choose from. I had red bean while the boys had plum.
They also have beer available!
I look forward to returning to try their sukiyaki and tonkatsu, as the food seems very cozy and homestyle. It's a nice little escape close to our home with yummy food at good prices.
