| - This place is simply exceptional. I have never had Japanese food like this before. I love this place because they serve Japanese food that you usually don't see in other restaurants, like takoyaki and okonomiyaki. EVERTHING I had was very good. These are the things I tried:
Udon fries: These surprised me, because they tasted like and had a consistency like fries, but they were noodles. They were really good
Crab Croquettes: These were delicious, but they didn't really stick out. The pepper tasted pretty good too.
Okinawan Sweet Potato: I didn't really know what to expect from this one, because I don't really like sweet potatoes, but there was a lot of plum sauce on it, which tasted really good. The potatoes were nice and soft.
Brussels Sprouts: These were the best Brussels sprouts I've had. The sauce did kind of get rid of any of the health benefits that it had, but they were still really good.
Asparagus: The way that this dish was served was a little awkward, but it still tasted great. I just don't know how you were supposed to eat it.
Salmon Takoyaki: Very fluffy and light. They had chunks of salmon in them, and they were pretty good. I've had ebelskivers before, and these were pretty similar.
Garlic Yakisoba: This was a very large plate, and my group split it. It was served in a Chinese takeout box, and that was really clever. The pork belly melted in your mouth.
We also had the toast and an ice cream sundae. They were also really good. The restaurant itself was very nice, and the staff was really nice. I loved it
UPDATE: I came back and tried some new stuff. I noticed that they changed the menu too. They took nothing off the small plates, only added some stuff. They replaced their old udon dish with a new one.
Yasai: This is a refreshing start to a meal. The pickled vegetables we had were asparagus, celery, beets, and carrots.
Lamb ribs: These were delicious! They had barbecue sauce and peanuts on top, and they were really tender. The only thing was that there were only four of them, so in my four person party, each person got only one rib.
Mushroom takoyaki: These were good too. I liked them more than the smoked salmon ones, and these seemed crispier to me, which I liked.
Kurobuta Corndogs: I hadn't had a corn dog for a while, so I liked to try one again. These were definitely upscale corndogs, with fancy sausage and good condiments.
Phat rice noodles: These were brand new, so I wanted to try it. They kind of reminded me of a Thai dish because of the noodles. The chorizo was very tasty, and it had a unique flavor. It all blended well
I went again!! Here's what I tried:
Yuzu Beets: These were a new menu item when I came, so we tried them. I am not the biggest beet fan, but someone in my party is, and they loved it. I do like yuzu, so that was good.
Crispy Tapioca: These were kinda weird, but they weren't bad. If I was to describe them, it would be like a giant, savory boba with a crispy outside.
Karaage: The best fried chicken I've had, really. Most of the time, when you get those little chicken bits, they're mostly breading. But these were delicious and every piece had a good amount of chicken.
Sea Okonomiyaki: Very good! Tons of seafood, which I like. The bonito flakes, with they're funny dances, were something else.
Mapo Tofu Frito Pie: the best thing we had that night. The cheese and the pork was so good. You just have to try it
I went AGAIN! This time, we just ordered a large plate for each person, and a couple small plates for appetizers.
Shishito peppers: I liked these because they were not too spicy. The yuzu sauce complimented the spicy peppers nicely. I also like those bonito flakes.
Clams: DANG. That broth is sooooooo good. And they aren't stingy with the clams either, so that's good. The dumplings melted in your mouth.
Salmon special: This wasn't on the menu, but it might be in the future. The person in my party got it , and I tried some. It had a potato coating, with a puréed pumpkin under it. Very good.
I mean, this place has food to be expected from the strip, but in a very casual setting and at prices that are a deal compared to strip restaurants.
I have returned! Here is what I got, and I should say that I went on Sunday for brunch. There was a special brunch menu.
Wagyu Beef Belly Ni: Very savory and warm, the belly was ultra tender and the root vegetables were soaked in the broth so long they almost tasted like meat, especially the gobo.
Apple cinnamon taiyaki: this is a brunch menu item. I had heard of taiyaki before, and I figured this would be a good place to try it. The pancake was so fluffy and light, and the apples were perfect. The whipped cream was also surprisingly good.
Edamame: This is a tiny little dish, with only edamame and everything bagel seasoning. But still it is the best edamame I have had.
