| - I've been here twice before they renovated and once again when they first opened. The new renovations was definitely a good choice, because every time I have been there it has always been packed and the tables are like 2-3 inches away from each other. Looks more modern and lots more space.
The Zaru Soba and Negima (leg&leek) are my favourites, the soba is served as 'dipping noodles' and the sauce is not too salty and wasabi is a must! Definitely recommend. Negima (sauce) was flavourful, perfectly cooked and the leeks were delicious. Other items I have tried are the Tako Wasabi - octopus marinated with wasabi stems and served with seaweed paper (i believe its raw, has a funny/rubbery texture, but the wasabi goes really well with the octopus), Ju's Cho Su Udon (a very light broth not very flavourful) and Osaka cha-han (like a huge takoyaki, could use a bit more sauce because only the top is slightly covered.)
As for the yakitori, I tried the lamb chop, momo (leg), chicken ball, chicken wings, pork bell, pork bell w/ green onions, and pork cheek. I enjoy them with 'sauce' over salt, because I feel the sauce makes everything slightly sweeter/like teriyaki and you can really taste that charcoal flavour in the meat.
Overall, I enjoy this place because its so much closer to where I live, the staff are friendly and the quality of the food is quite good!
