| - My family and I have been regular patrons of this restaurant since before yelp even existed!! The owner, Hiro-san, is the friendliest man ever :) When I was a little girl he would used to carve me flowers and animals out of carrots in his spare time to keep a bored kid in an adult's dinner party happy and occupied. Now that the restaurant's so successful he has barely any time to make it in and out of the kitchen! But he never fails gives us a huge grin and welcoming wave whenever he sees us. The staff here is so friendly that when I walk in the doors I always feel at ease. It's the same feeling as returning home to food and an experience that I KNOW is going to be amazing and satisfying.
Now on to the food...my family and I come to this restaurant AT LEAST once every month. Since this place is a must-go whenever we have guests visiting, and we've had numerous guests visit us this past month, we have been to HIro's once every week! Even with all the frequent dining at this restaurant for so many years, we're never tired of it because it is JUST THAT GOOD. The food is authentic (as I already knew but again confirmed by my visiting friends from Japan) and the quality very fresh. The following is a list of our favorites:
- miso soup- no explanation necessary :)
- spicy tuna roll
- catepillar roll- ADORABLE looking and everyone whose had it swears it's delicious. I believe them but I don't eat eel so I've never tried it.
- toro- excellent quality!!
- hiyayakko- cold tofu with bonito flakes paired with scallions and ginger. Pour some soy sauce over it and you have a light, healthy, but tasty appetizer.
- nasumiso- miso glazed eggplants. You can't go wrong with this one, trust me.
- hamachi kama- yellowtail collar. The meat is so tender and the sauce they have with it totally makes the dish. Be sure to squeeze some lemon on it as well!
- dynamite- a seafood mix baked in a special sauce. This is a dish you won't see elsewhere. It's very rich but also very unique.
- halibut carpaccio- raw sliced halibut with sliced scallions and tomatoes. They pour hot oil over it to half-cook it. Kind of Italian-Japanese fusion, and very creative!
- zaru soba- authentic Japanese soba noodles. Refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day.
- green tea ice cream- if you're feeling up to desert, definitely give this a try. Green tea is my personal favorite and it's actually hard to find good quality ice cream in that flavor! Their GT ice cream is definitely NOT the cheap gross ones I've unfortunately purchased once at a supermarket...
That should be enough to get you started! There are so many more great dishes I could list but these are the ones we always come back to :) Branch out and give everything a try! This would be the place to try new things because you can be at ease knowing that anything you order will be of a certain caliber. We tried the sesame roll for the first time yesterday and it was surprising, creative, and delicious. :)
Hopefully my super long, and way overdue review of this restaurant will convince you to go try it out, or even just try some new dishes! Now go make your reservation...I promise you won't be disappointed!!
