| - The perks of having a fellow elite yelper as a friend is you get first dibs on their discovery. After being recommended Hubby wanted to try this place right away which is usually a rare occasion. Boy (or Girl..) it did not disappoint at all. Interior wise very nice, almost authentic Japanese with paper wall divisions giving you and your group some privacy. Call Buttons are available for servers to visit you. Service was quite good , attentive and friendly as it should be. Menu had an extensive choice of Japanese dishes CAUTION: You will have a hard time Choosing. TIP : Choose your dish early, it will take a good 5-10 min to pick out what to get unless you know what you're craving for. Came here twice now and had ordered their Chef Special #2 . It came with (Let's see if I can remember all..) Complimentary Miso and Salad Salmon Sashimi , A handful of rice only ( small - trust me you wouldn't need much after I'm done enumerating) , Spicy Bulgogi , Shrimp Tempura (Big) , Lobster (yes, you heard right LOBSTER tempura), Salmon Head and Neck Terriyaki ( From the size I think it came with the Shoulders too), Sautéed Vegetables ( you will find in a bed under the Salmon Head) . The overly excited Sir to my left had his Chirashi. The highlight of both our evening was the Sashimi . Common to all Japanese restaurant - yes. What is uncommon to us Lovers of Sashimi is the fact its cut sooo thick (thicker than when you spell THICK) consistently to all the slices. It allows you to enjoy the Sashimi flavor swirled in your mouth.
After we ate here we came to an enlightened thought of sorts (Yup, its THAT good :p) Though ala carte you're full to the rim like you would feel in an AYCE Japanese place. Variety is just as you would at an AYCE. Ala Carte at MI NE or Buffet at another place - is about the same, you're belly is just one size. Priced a bit more than most ala carte places but you definitely get the value with their portions and quality. LOVE this place. We saw the other table order the Boat, Let's just say better for you to go to this place and see for yourselves what I saw rather than me telling you here. Just be stomach ready though ;).
