Good experience here!
Some tips for future goers:
1. When people say this place is loud, trust them!! It is booming inside. The servers and chefs all scream greetings and goodbyes in Japanese when customers enter and leave. So don't come here if you're easily susceptible to migraines unless you can get a table on the patio.
2. Order the karubi (beef short ribs). They are to die for.
3. Do not order the octopus balls. I'm confused as to why people recommend this dish? The batter around the tiny piece of octopus is soggy and odd tasting and the sauce it's covered with is overly sweet.
To be honest, I've heard a lot of recommendations for the kinoko bibimbap but I actually just thought it was okay. Would try the yaki udon next time.
Honestly, I would like this place better if they didn't scream every single time a customer left or entered. I get that it's part of the experience but it seems a bit unnecessary. Other than the loudness, I would definitely recommend the food!
