| - What can I say, I'm a big fan of Shuseki. Yeah, I know the fish isn't the freshest I can find in the valley and the menu doesn't really set itself apart from the other Japanese spots... But hey, I rarely have anything to complain about when I hit this place up. Not a fan of the loud and boisterous vibe of other tapas places? Looking for a place to come and dine and have a casual conversation without shouting over your tapas? Then Shuseki has got you covered. I am a big fan of a relaxed, chill dining experience and Shuseki is low-key enough to coax me back for multiple visits of the same expectation; a big plus in my book. Also, the servers are always nice and friendly so that's additional cool points that I'm throwing their way.
Some of my favorite grubs here include the sashimi plate, the grilled whole squid, and the garlic tuna sashimi cuts with avocado on the side. However my usual go to plates are the Japanese fried rice omelet, the okonomiyaki, or the oyako don (the latter being my favorite). I could go on and on with all the other dishes, but these are the few that I find I order the most. The thing I love most about this place is the price. For example, the oyako don (my favorite) is big enough to ease my belly into satiety as it comes with a big bowl of chicken with an egg on top and a flavorful bowl of miso soup. Surprisingly enough, it's only $7.99 and I somehow find a way to take some home as leftovers. When you have an appetite like I do, the fact that I can take home some leftovers is just.. Wow. Even when I'm with the lady, we usually never hit the $30 mark when we are just grubbing and have no intention of getting involved with libations. Now that's what I'm talking about.
Like I said, some people prefer the loud and exciting atmosphere of the other Japanese Tapas bars in the area but Shuseki hits the spot better for me. Price is good, food is grubbing, and the atmosphere is nice and comfy.
