"Chef Tadashi Kimura incorporates Western dishes and flavors with Japanese ingredients and sensibility at this Yoshoku-style restaurant in a laid-back strip mall. First opened in 1991, Akane Chaya has weathered outdoor signs and a somewhat mismatched interior, but the smooth bebop jazz tunes keep everything classy. Service is attentive and cheerful, while the menu includes hefty portions of pork katsu curry, hamburg steak with demi-glace, and various kinds of pasta." - Matthew Kang
