VENUE/AMBIANCE (4)
Adequate parking, limited seating. This small restaurant seats approximately 16-20 guests. There is some bar seating by the window. Decor is quite minimal, but everything is new and clean.
SERVICE (3)
Not much service to speak of. On our first visit, we walked up to the counter to ask how to order. The lady behind the counter was a woman of few words. So here's the rundown for first-time visitors: save yourself a seat then order at the counter. They'll bring your food over when it's ready. You're expected to clean up after yourselves when you're finished and stack your trays by the return counter.
FOOD (4)
Limited menu, which is quite alright - just poke bowls, dons, ramen, and some beverages. I'd rather they do a few things well than to serve a wide array of mediocre food. We ordered the Smoked (read: Torched) Salmon Avocado Bowl and a Salmon Avocado Kale Noodle. She asked what sauce I wanted but did not ask for the second order. The wasabi soy sauce is sweet and tangy but did not taste anything close to wasabi. The kale noodles came with what we guess was a sesame sauce. The food itself is pretty tasty and fresh. The kale noodles were surprisingly good -
chewy and soaked up the sauce well. The portions are average-size, small for the price they charge. I do appreciate that they include avocado already. Iced coffee was standard at $3.25 to add onto our meal.
QUALITY/VALUE (3.5)
Quality was great. The avocado was ripe, the rice cooked perfectly, the salmon fresh. I only wish the prices were a little more commensurate with the quantity of food and location.
OVERALL (3.5)
I did really enjoy the food and expect to return. Komeya is a pleasant addition to the area.
