| - After doing a Yelp search for a 'real' sounding Japanese place, the reviews here seemed like it was a sure thing...and thanks fellow yelpers you didn't steer us wrong at all. Spent almost 8 years in Japan and the 'ambiance' made this place really seem like when we opened the doors we were stepping into a restaurant in Japan. The grills are still broken, and from seeing the previous reviews it seems to have been broken for quite sometime, they had a TV sitting on top when we were there..so I wonder if they're going to fix them. I wonder if they get enough constant business to justify the repair. Well I hope so, because with as good as my steak was cooked in the back like it would have been in front of us, there's something to be said for dinner and a show. I don't need onion volcano's or to watch them throw a potato in their hat, i just enjoy watching them chop, dice and cook my meal as well as the casual conversation.
When we walked in there was a few tables put together where a large group of Japanese people were enjoying their meals as well as a couple bottles of sake, laughing and having a good time. When we walked in they stopped looked at us briefly and went back about their business (first thing that made me feel like I was back in Japan). As we continued to walk in mamma-San appeared from the back and told us to have a seat and handed us a couple of menus. (she was cute and sweet, #2 thing...you see a pattern yet?) The booth we sat in the 2nd to last along the wall the table and seat were to close on one side and almost to much on the other but hey who needs a reminder they shouldn't eat everything on the menu!
We ordered our meals, they came out quickly and perfectly cooked. We both devoured dang near everything on our plate, but it was just the right amount. As we were finishing our dinner and she was insisting we could find room for dessert an older couple came in and walked to the booth behind us like they'd been there a thousand time. When the sweet mamma-San appeared she started almost squealing and was obviously happy to see them. I'm an avid people watcher/eavesdropper in public :) and easily hear what I could imagine as my grandparents talking to an old friend and they had been craving all their favorites and had decided that they would order them all and take home the leftovers. The proof is in the return customers and people who crave something you serve.
All in all I really enjoyed this place, hope that at some point they repair the grill. I will be back probably many times. I think i forgot to mention it was about $50 for two people to have full meals, good home cooked like meals...that's crazy cheap and another reason I'll be back and encouraging others to go to.
