| - We came here around 9:30 pm on a Saturday and the little restaurant was packed full.
Food: 5
The Agedashi tofu was a little strange - instead of cubes, it was one big patty of tofu. It wasn't crispy (I usually like my Agedashi to be crispy), but the broth was delicious. The ikura don was pretty standard, just ikura over rice, but the quality of the ikura was very good, and there was a lot of it for $10. The buttered scallops were tasty, but overpriced at $7 per scallop! Don't think I'd get those again. The green tea soba had a great flavor and was cooked very al dente, just how I like it. The skirt steak with fried garlic was probably my favorite. The meat was tender and cut up bite-sized, the sauce was absolutely scrumptious, and the garlic slices brought out the flavor of the meat. My family also ordered the chicken wings, the uni/ikura/poached egg dish, the pork cheek, and the grilled oysters, but I didn't eat any of those, so I can't comment. However, they all liked those dishes very much.

Our food took a long time to come out, but I understand because it was all so intricately prepared. The waitresses were helpful, but they could have been more attentive about our water.
Ambiance: 3
My only complaints about this place are that it's very small and cramped, it's a little too dark, and the chairs/benches are hard and uncomfortable. They were also playing some shamisen music, which is normally fine, but it was really loud.
