| - Very cozy, dimly lit, very warm which is good because it's 1 degree outside but it feels like Negative 9 degrees. It's 2 blocks away from where I'm staying.
The Miso Soup is $3 and it's a big bowl.
The waiter brought water to me without me asking, that was the first thing he did. I ordered Chicken Teriyaki which isn't on the menu. FYI, make sure to avoid the chicken wrapped in bacon if you're like me and that's not your cup of tea.
As I was waiting for the my Chicken Teriyaki, the waiter (Michael) refilled my lemonade before I was even halfway done.
EXCELLENT SERVICE SO FAR.
This place seems to be reasonably priced so far, I still haven't gotten the bill yet.
The final bill was $22.16 total which might seem kinda pricey BUT this was my only meal of the day and I ordered cooked food in a sushi bar. You always have to give some to get something, that's my motto. I emphasize quality over quantity at all times.
The chicken was juicy, not dry, the sauce was delicious and ample but not overwhelming to the point it masked the natural flavors of the vegetables and chicken.
The rice was sticky enough to eat with chop sticks, which I did.
The veggies included were asparagus, squash, and zucchini. I was equally by the customer service of the waiter who kept checking on me, sometimes before I was ready but it's good to see a person take their job serious. I left a $5 tip. I know waiters and waitresses make less than minimum wage so the tips are their life blood and I respect that.
I've received service in the past where I would tip the person $40 to $50 on a $100 check, bringing my grand total for the evening to $140 to $150. I'm really putting this out there so that people in the hospitality industry can understand that people will tip if you if your service is good.
FYI , $5 is 23% of $22.16, which above the standard 15% gratuity.
