I wanted to try every single item on the menu before confidently writing my review here, proud that the time has finally come.
Hole in the wall, small and authentic Japanese homey feel resto, the servers and Kazu are always smiling and so happy it's contagious.
Best dishes: tuna/salmon bowl (mix everything together and let all the delicious flavours synchronize - it literally gives me anxiety watching people eat layer by layer)
Beef carpaccio (order 2, yeah because it's that good)
Lamb chops & yogurt sauce (so perfectly tender and juicy without that overwhelming lamb smell)
Homemade Ice cream (my favourite is the earl grey as it's not overly sweet, perfect palate cleanser)
Lobster plate (seasonal dish so if you see it order it right away without blinking, unless you have allergies to shellfish of course)
Those are just the few things I get religiously. You can order whatever you want or in the mood for at that time and you won't go wrong so don't worry about second guessing - trust me I've tried it all. But if you're not much of an adventurous foodie try the skewers, char grilled meat on a stick.
Most of the dishes are fairly simple but so tastefully prepared. It's the sauces that take every dish from yummy to WOW; sauces and secrets that are inimitable.
Tips: (1) Order for pickup to avoid waiting outside in line. (2) Arrive around 5:15-5:30pm to guarantee you'll be the first 25 in as soon as they open. (3) Be timely considerate, as it's a small restaurant meant for eating then leaving not hanging out for hours after your meal to finish your sake - let others get in to relish in this food gem too :)
