| - Had this bookmarked for ages, finally decided to stop by for a quick dinner fix. Located in another one of those strip mall restaurants that you see like on every other corner block.
At the Bar:
Fresh Water Eel with Creamy Scallop (#5): 8 pieces, topped with eel sauce.. Eel with scallop, I can't think of a much better combination, so I went with it.. It was good but lacking something?.. something that would give it that edge for praise..
Black Cod Soy: filet of fish, served with a pepper on top, nice presentation and every slice just flaked off. Had a sweet, mild wine flavor.. Not as common as the usual usual salmon/tuna.. I'm used to but it satisfied.
Halibut with Truffle Sashimi: This was suggested by the chef behind the bar counter. When he mentioned Halibut, I was sold, then he mentioned truffle and truffle oil.. I started salivating.. 2 super thin slices of halbiut, a couple truffle nuggets on top and a drizzle truffle oil.. 6 Stars, easy!!
Atmosphere was live (at least at the bar) and the japanese sophisticated clean decor paired with their menu offerings nicely. Service was Awesome and Prices were reasonable. Keeping in mind all the other Japanese restaurants out there for comparison, that are laying down some serious food, I feel this place is just short of a 5 star review from this dining experience alone..
