| - Simple food done very well.. For some reason I was expecting a larger menu and variety. Instead they have a limited selection that is well crafted. So far most people have praised the hamburg steak, hayashi rice, chef's salad, and tororin omelet, so I tried something different. The garlic beef ($9.99) was impressive. Thinly sliced beef is marinaded in a soy sauce base, sauteed with onions and garlic until it is tender, then plated with a large helping of grated cabbage. It comes with a salad to start and a plate of rice with the meal. I had to leave before the food arrived to take an important call and was gone for 25 minutes. When I came back, the food was still warm. The waitress was worried that it had gone cold, but it must have been scolding when it first came out, because it retained it's temperature well. The serving size was plentiful and my friend had been helping herself. I came back too late to try her vegetable curry ($6.99). She must have enjoyed it, because there was not even a bite left for me. I am beginning to think that you can close your eyes, choose, and end up with a delicious meal.
Being outside for so long, I chugged down my water. Our waitress must have refilled it eight times. Cafe de Japon employees are attentive, quick, and friendly.
