At first glance, this place feels like a heart warming Japanese restaurant with a lot of upside. The waitress was nice and quickly sat us down at the bar (although I would have preferred a table instead). We ordered the chicken cartilage w/ curry powder, the black croquette, smoked sashimi and other side dishes. All of the dishes were pretty well made and had its own distinguishing taste. The smoked sashimi literally melted in my mouth !
Although I do understand that Japanese food typically comes in small portions, that would be my only complaint. Our bill came to around 40$ for 4 items, which was a higher than what I expected.
