| - Had their lunch special. They have a wide range of choices, so you'll never have to settle here. I had the chirashi don as another yelper had suggested.
As with all specials, it came with very good miso soup and fresh salad with a refreshing, tangy and citrus-hinted dressing. Even the tea was really good, not too strong, not too watered down. Yum. Really got my appetite going, and looking forward to the star of my lunch, the chirashi rice bowl.
The chirashi don came with a very good bed of rice that was less sweet than other places, and was more 'umami' (nicely salty). It was a beauty. The rice was covered with a layer of 2 thick pieces of dark-red tuna, 4 very fresh pieces of pink salmon, 2 pieces of white snapper, a sweet and salty cooked ebi (prawn), 2 white pieces of escolar (aka. butterfish), and a beautifully yellow triangular slice of tamago (seasoned cooked egg). Imagine these colors in your bowl, presented to you on the table...it was a festival of colors for my eyes. And the taste? Very good. Not all sashimi were top-notch fresh, but it was fresh enough.
This experience, for the price of $10.95? Yes, please!!!!!!
They also had two or three bento box lunch specials that were priced very moderately starting at $13. That looked good too.
Service was great. Place is very clean. No fishy smell, no oily smell because of the tempura, tables and chairs are very clean.
This place is on a quiet street, but it was quite busy and lots of people came by for pick-up as well.
I'll be back!
