| - Wow, what an experience!!! When we arrived the waitress came to explain the menu and she recommended the Toro Tekka Don. Now in my head I'm hesitating because I don't like tuna but my friend really wanted to try the Bluefin red tuna. I ordered the Niku Daisuki and we shared.
Let me tell you this, I didn't like tuna sashimi cause I've never had real tuna! This stuff was amazingly good. The pieces cut from the fish belly area were just melt in your mouth good. Half of the pieces were fattier and the other half leaner. I wish I could've just kept chewing it forever just to savor the piece of sashimi...but it "melted" so fast it was impossible to do!! :p
The ribs were also super tender and slathered with sauce... When meat melts in your mouth, it's a beautiful thing *sheds a tear*. I liked how the shrimp had a light, crispy panko layer that wasn't soaked in oil...too bad there's only one!
Oh and wait, you have to try their pork karaage with spicy mayo! So juicy and tender and buttery with the mayo...too bad there were only 3 *tears of sadness*
We also had the appetizer for $15 that came with 15 pieces of sashimi. With Atlantic salmon, red snapper, yellow tail tuna and regular tuna. It was pretty good! And presentation was stellar!
The sides were ok: miso soup, not too salty; salad was ok; homemade pickles were nice but not sure which food it was supposed to go with.
Had an Asahi beer which is very light. Good to pair with delicate sushi.
The dessert is shaved ice with matcha green tea powder a scoop of green tea ice cream topped with a portion of ice cream sandwich, two Pocky sticks, sweetened red beans and some jelly. We asked to have the ice cream on the side. It's a nice little dessert, nothing crazy.
Overall it was a satisfying experience and very filling.
