Let me tell ya...I have been going to this area of the valley over the past 5 years hundreds of times, and everytime I do, for some reason I don't have the time to stop in...or when I do, it looks like they are closed. But I finally made it in this past week and boy am I glad I did!!!
I am really picky when it comes to asian food, some might even call me a food snob:) I have tried so many different kinds and different restaurants that there is a lot to compare to.
This Japanese restaurant is by far one of my very favorites...
Just looking at the little stand alone building this restaurant sits in reminds you of little tokyo in downtown LA. Walking in you realize IT IS very authentic. Its owned by a older japanese couple that do all the cooking and servicing themselves! Its soooo cute!!
Looking at the menu, its no none sense. It is simple and to the point. There are some items that are catered to the american crowd but the execution on the dishes I ordered is strictly Japanese.
Miso Soup was piping hot- love it!
The Japanese curry with chicken katsu was probably the best I have tasted here in AZ.
I also had the Cold Somen noodles and perfection it was. The tsuyu, dipping sauce was flavorful..umami style!
This is homestyle japanse cooking at its best! I will make time for this place everytime I am in the area from now on....I can not believe I almost missed out on this place:)
