Last minute birthday party run in the dead of the coldest winter I remember to date (which is probably mild for those in Russia).
Had a party of 8 coming here to enjoy random food choices to try things out. Normally this would've been pricey, but considering we had 8 people at just over $120 with tip, I would say it was a good deal.
Most of the food we liked. Some like the chicken knuckles were just too exotic for my tastes.
The Ox Tongue donburi was excellent in terms of meat quality. However, the sauce is no match for what my friend's dad makes. The meat was tender and you don't get the cheap aftertaste that you get from Chinese Cafes.
The Chicken Donburi was especially good. It had a sweet taste and I would really like to try it again once I am off my diet, because the rice they use was well fluffed.
The Beef Gyu Don, wasn't as good. It had too much onion and little beef. It was also very salty. So I won't order that one again.
I ordered takoyaki like I did before. And like before, I know this isn't Japan, and I am pretty sure Japan has better, but this is one of the better takoyakis I had in North America.
Considering it was packed the service wasn't too bad. Will come here again soon.
