| - Came here on a Sunday night around 6. It wasn't busy yet but it was definitely busy by the time we left (around 8). we ordered: shrimp udon salad, sashimi salad, double salmon roll, Ebi-mayo, takoyaki, baked oysters, and japa-burgers. I really enjoyed the shrimp udon salad. The vinaigrette was unique and and udon noodles were perfectly cooked. Also, the shrimp pieces were large and juicy. I thought the sashimi salad was meh. Tasted like regular sashimi tossed in a salad and some dressing. The double salmon roll was nice. It was unique and didn't taste like the typical rolls. The smoked salmon has a distinct flavour if you're into smoked salmon. Ebi-mayo was so delicious. The chip was perfect, and the shrimp was perfectly fried and tasty. Takoyaki was good! It's standard and its rare to find a bad tasting takoyaki in my opinion. Baked oysters were great, the oysters tasted fresh and it was not overbaked at all. And finally, I was a bit disappointed by the japa-burger, due to the many positive reviews. They came out not as warm as I would like, and it was so normal tasting-- a little burger with some japanese style mayo. Will not order that next time. All in all, i liked the atmosphere. It's not the usual loud rowdy yelling-when-anyone-walks-in type of Japanese restaurant. Those atmospheres are great, but not when you want to have an actual conversation. Also, the seating is pretty comfy here. Service was super fast and good. Also, they got my mother a complimentary birthday cake with a large sparkler, which I appreciated a lot! All in all, tasty food, cool atmosphere, and nice service: would come again.
