| - An update after almost a year---------
I came back to this place because the great memory on the salad and beef tataki, plus there seems to be some good looking new dishes according to pics posted by yelpers.
So they've changed the menu, there are still very few options for ppl who want authentic traditional-ish Japanese food. But it's okay, there are always ways to fill yourself up when you are in a restaurant.
Then the main reason for them to lose one star- our waitress, came. She's very beautiful, but with less smile and distant gesture. I ordered choya (plum wine), she asked if I wanted it on the rock or with soda, I said no, I just want it with itself. Of course she served the drink on the rock. It's okay it happens, so I started to take the ice out to my plate, at that time she was laying dishes on our table so I assume she saw it. But she neither offered to take my plate away nor ask me if I didn't want the ice, and she walked away. I had to ask another waitress to give me a new plate, she was much nicer, but for some reason she left that plate of ice on our table. In fact that plate of ice stayed on the very edge of our table till we asked for the bill.
Okay the food. I liked their beef tataki before, and it was still good, but not as good as Guu's. So it wouldn't be a very strong reason for me to go back.
My favorite Koyoi salad was okay but not as good as they used to be. The worst part was that they took out my favorite, healthy crispy lotus roots and put chips instead.
Ankimo, 4.99 for the quantity they are giving is a bit ridiculous, I don't think it was very fresh because some of the pieces were "collapsing/melting" and it taste fishy as well.
The grilled eggplant was plain and mediocre.
We were planning to order more, but we couldn't find anything else we really want to eat. As I said, it's a restaurant, you can always order more food to feed yourself, however, considering the service, we decided to move to Zakkushi for a second meal instead.
Asked for the bill, our beautiful waitress came back, still not so happy, which made me feel I made the right decision of leaving and never coming back.

A friend is a big fan and expert of Japanese food, so we try different places almost every week.
The place was overall good, but it's a small place and can be crowded, therefore not very comfortable to sit.
I like the beef tataki but just as the same amount I like it anywhere else, and according to my friend, they are normal. The ankimo was good and fresh, it's good that they make it themselves, cuz some place just buy them from suppliers.
The Koyoi salad, my favorite salad of all time, while my friend only rated it as ok, I am still willing to go back just for the salad. The mixture of ingredient, the sauce, really showed they put thought in the dish.
The dessert I had was good too, but I am ready to try something new on the next visit. I'm also craving for their winter hot pot, but need to make reservation for that before two days, oh when will I be able to finally have it.
