Wanted to try the place at least 2 times before placing a review. In the span of two weeks, I went 3 times with friends who also would come back.
Whenever you're new to a restaurant, best ask what's the menu concept and recommendations. Which is what we did.
Their menu is actually a tapas menu, a tasting menu or a appetizer menu if you will. I went in there fully expecting my bill to be a treat to myself as tapas menus are generally more pricy. The $$ of this listing should actually be $$$ or $$$$.
It's a Japanese menu with a twist. I would say that anything Tataki, which is included in their name, is delicious. Take the time to savor the different sauces and hints flavors. I also tried per recommendations of the wait staff the "Coquille de Petoncle" (scallops) which was divine. One of my favorites there. I'd say don't miss out on the "Pizza japonaise" you won't be disappointed and the "Étoile de Mer". Another speciality is the "cuillere magique" which is crab meat wrapped in salmon and sauced with house sauce. Everyone there seemed to order them so we gave it a try. Good call. I'd say it seemed to be 3 or 4 plates per person to be satisfied.
Don't go for the usual boring "miso soup", "gyozas", "edamame" or "tempura" etc, you're going to be missing out on the real gems. You're here for something different than the usual japanese-american dishes.
There is a short list of main meals as well which were ramen (noodles), ramen soups or teriyaki. I tried the sauté seafood ramen and it was delicious. Filled me up. There take next to ours had a ramen soup that looked great. Will try that next.
Now as for the decor, its nice and inviting. The bathrooms are.... Clean! Wow. They also have a nice back patio with fountain. The staff all seemed nice and pleasant. The owner and head chef seemed to know his customers and took the time to go see their tables when he had a break. It seems that you can also order "chef's creations"; as some dishes I inquired about when I saw them come out, were not on menu.
All in all, we were 4-5 every time and our average bill was about 40$-60$ on the tapas menu and 20$-40$ for a full course. Definitely will go again. I love tapas and all the different flavors it comes with. That's the price for fine cuisine. If you're looking for a cheap place with just quantity, try their Ramens, they fill you up but otherwise, you should try somewhere else. It made me laugh when some customers asked the wait staff if they had sushi.
