I got takeout from here. Not only the presentation was good but also the taste was amazing! Eel was tender and flavorful. I finished the entire bowl in one go!
Highly recommend salmon avacado carpaccio, salmon sashimi and niku don. It's really fresh. Unagi don is also good, despite a bit too much rice. Overall great Japanese food with decent price. Note that they didn't provide free water. They charged $1 for bottled water.
Even though we didn't have a reservation, we were able to be seated at opening as long as we finished before the next reservation came through. Easy peasy. ???? We ordered: - Grilled beef tongue: pretty good flavor, but little sear or char flavor. 4/5 - Niku tofu: this was really great, with a generous amount of meat. This would go greater with some rice or noodles, but the soup isn't overly salty without it. 5/5 - Yakionigiri: I don't think I like cooked salmon in my onigiri, but the toast and flavor of the outside was amazing! 4.5/5 - Matcha karaage: the matcha salt didn't stand out for me here. Tasted like regular karaage. 3/5 - Unagi Meshi: I was too full to enjoy this a lot, but if you like crispy rice, this dish has it! Soft chunks of unagi, savory sauce, and crispy, crispy rice. 5/5 FYI- They don't serve tap water here and it's currently a dollar a bottle.The service was lightning fast! Parking was pretty easy during the early evening.
