| - I went along with 8 friends with 6:30 pm reservations on a Saturday evening and took the inside large square table. We did our drink orders where one of them got Umeshu, and was asked if she wanted it 'On the Rocks' and she said sure. Knowing she has had Umeshu before, she told me it didn't taste as good. Do wait staff usually ask if you want it 'On the Rocks'?
Reading from a prior review that it is an Izakaya style and I got off work to go there, I got Yakitori apps (gizzards, skin, wings, meatballs, hearts). Basically the 5 left-side items on the Yaki selection. Salt or soya option, and my friendly waitress suggested salt, Arigato! Aside from wings being 3 middle pieces for $4.50, I really enjoyed it.
I got the Soba as well, which is standard fare for any other Jap restaurant. I tried a piece of Chicken Katsu, and it wasn't bad but I was admiring about 3-4 of my friend's shared Seafood Nabe and another friend's fresh looking Chirashi.
The whole group kept chatting it up, laughing maybe even bothering other customers from time to time and we eventually over stay our welcome when we just sat their with our empty tea cups continuing our conversations as the waitress brought over the bill and started to clean up around 9:30 - 10:00 pm or so.
I have to say the wait staff are awesome and I guess I personally enjoyed the traditional feel of the decor. About 30min before we left, I told my friend there doesn't seem to be music, but then when we got up to leave we heard some Mexican music? Anyone can confirm that?
