I used to live by this place. I'd walk by almost every day and wonder what the deal with the cow print decor on the outside was without ever stopping to take a look at the menu in the window. Only after reading some Yelp reviews I decided to check it out with a friend who loves both Japanese and French food.
Japanese-French fuzion WOWZA. Seriously. This is one of the best meals I have had in my life. Honestly I can be a bit squeemish about seafood at times but no bother here - too good. We ordered two of the five course tasting menu and shared the results.
To start was a really well put togther and tasty salad, then a lovely miso soup.
Then we were given an appetizer that I will never stop talking about. This dish was essentially a sushi roll, cut into four pieces. But it was fried, so the rice was crunchy, and it was topped with a melange of seafood, I think it was scallops. And topped with a miso sauce. I hesitated to eat my last piece because this dish was so magical. I am drooling just thinking about it.
My friend ordered the lamb and I had a dish called Paradis de la mer. We shared. It was epic. I can't say which I liked better because I can't decide.
Service was fantastic, really personalized. My friend was leaving for Japan in a week and the owner came and gave some suggestions for places to go - he also sent my friend an email days later with even more information. What a hero.
The only small complaint that I could possibly have is that some of the flavours in the dishes were a bit too similar. But it's a damn good flavour - sticky misom soy lovely-ness. But just' sayin'
I loved this place and would reccommend it to anyone looking for something a bit different than the regular. Also people looking for something awesome.
