| - After a night on the town, I was expecting to to go home and chill - but the BF was feeling the little nibbles vs the big nibbles, this means that we don't stop for a street sausage/hot dog or getting a stuffed $12 burrito nor were we feeling the greasy spoon late night Chinese diner standard dishes either.
Seeing that it was almost midnight and here isn't much else open beyond what was mentioned about - we were struggling to find a suitable alternative, luckily he remembered Zakkushi, which came recommended by a cousin of his.
Happily for us - this place closes late 2 am on a Saturday! So perfect for our needs.
Ordering is fairly straight forward; since we stuck to the easy stuff like 1 Zakkushi set and a mochi with bacon skewer and one oyster mushroom special skewer. Overall assessment - loved the zakkushi set, split decision on the mochi with bacon and so-so on the oyster mushroom special.
Fast forward to a few weeks later - we went with a larger group of people - so we got to try more food this time around. Because we went at a "peak" time - they really do limit you to 2 hrs and last call is an 1/2hr before end seating time.
Favorites - Takowasabi, the deboned chicken wing; mi-maki, almond tofu, and the chicken thigh with sour plum sauce;
I really enjoyed the bacon wrapped mochi and the Yaki onigiri. But others in my party weren't that crazy about these ones.
Dessert - I say skip the chiffon cake and get the cute and fun presented almond tofu, which is a bit hard to share. Also get the mochi and ice cream dessert dish. There is also the dorayaki, which I wasn't too enthused about.
Pricing - it can get expensive, since pricing is per skewer, with the exception of the special Sets. With my party 1 it worked out to be about $40 per couple including cocktails for the ladies and a pitcher of beer for the gents.
Neat features
hot towel service when you get in.
Summer feature from Sunday to Thursday - beer pitchers are $10
