| - After braving Ichiza, even after being told we could not make reservations between 7pm and 9:30pm, we were told it would be a 45 minute wait. At least. Starving, my husband and I decided to try the 29ºF beer place downstairs. No idea what they serve but whatever. Soooo hungry.
We noticed the signs all over the door saying something to the effect of, "We are open, the door is just really heavy." My husband seemed to open the door with ease. Although the place looked crowded, we got seated right away.
We immediately ordered two 29ºF Sapporos. They turned out to be beer slushies. I don't really enjoy beer slushies but my husband does, so it was all good. Then I noticed a grill in the middle - Japanese BBQ. Nice! Did I mention we were just going into this place blind?
There's a big digital sign that shows the current beer temperature. My husband amused himself and tried to amuse me by giving me a play-by-play of the changing beer temperature. "Now it's 27.9º! Now it's 27.8º!"
I focused on figuring out the name of the place from the menu so I could check in on Yelp. I discovered many other Yelpers had reviewed this place and gave it decent reviews. Comforting.
We went for option B of the Japanese BBQ, which includes a variety of meats and sauces, 8 pieces of sushi, miso soup, rice, and various sides. When it came out, we realized it had both Japanese and Korean components. For example, it comes with kimchi. The BBQ is gas but they threw some charcoal in it, which I believe is traditional for Japanese BBQ.
And when we got our meat it was like moving up from the kids' table! After living her for six years, I have yet to find a Korean or Japanese BBQ place that will let me cook my own meat. But here it was all up to us, or to my husband I should say because he's the cook. All the meats were really good and tasted fresh. Most of the BBQ options come with beef tongue. Don't be afraid. It's really good, especially with the lemon juice and sesame oil. Personally, I'll eat anything so I don't care.
The grill is curved which made cooking some of the food, especially the round pork sausages, a little interesting. They kept rolling off!
After we finished, they immediately brought the check. I guess they don't serve dessert. So we headed off to Tea Station for that. Or tried. I couldn't open the door to leave. I pushed my hardest but it just wouldn't budge. My husband had to do. I guess the door really is heavy!
All in all, I would have preferred baby octopus and honey toast at Ichiza since that it what I was craving, but this was a nice second option and I'm glad we tried it.
