Ok. Let me qualify this 4 star rating.
It's for lunch. And it's mostly for price.
It's certainly not the best Japanese restaurant I've ever been to. And the food isn't the best. But it's decent. The price is excellent (for lunch).
I used to come here often and grab the Bento box and a California Roll with my buddies for lunch and I'd the door having spent just 10 bucks including tax and tip. I'd be full, and ready to coast through the afternoon on a semi-food coma.
It's worth the visit based on the cost.
Now you probably want to know why I don't think this is the best restaurant in the world. Well, this is an OLD place. It hasn't been updated since the NIxon administration...at least it seems that way....but what do I know? I was born during last Carter year.
The Bento Box is $3.75 and you get Teriyaki Chicken w Mushrooms, Rice, a little salad. It's really not bad for the price. Add a roll for another $3.75 and you got yourself a snazzy cheap little meal.
The restaurant is dark, it kind of smells, but who cares. It's cheap, you'll be in and out of there in no time.
I probably wouldn't go there for dinner.
Peace.
