Once a month we need to visit this area for a doctor's appointment so we like to try new restaurants. Today was not a disappointment.
We were seated right away and our server was super attentive, which set a good tone. We ordered a mix of happy hour items and a couple of splurge dishes from the special menu.
From happy hour:
Chirashi roll – packed with fish and tasty.
Spicy hamachi roll – too much avocado, couldn’t really taste the fish.
Beef tongue – chewy.
Bacon scallops – big and amazing. I wanted 3 more of these.
Shishito peppers – had some heat, super good.
O-toro – melt-in-your-mouth, worth it.
Botan ebi – raw shrimp was so fresh, plus the fried heads were delicious.
Unagi – solid, no complaints.
Salmon yuzu – kind of disappointing, no yuzu flavor and only 4 small pieces for $8.
Baked mussels – cheesy, teriyaki glaze, unique and yummy.
From the Special Menu:
Kamashita toro and wagyu uni – both fresh, topped with caviar, and absolutely worth it.
We spent around $100 for two people, which is close to what AYCE places charge these days, but I like that here we could pick exactly what we wanted instead of mass ordering. Getting wagyu, toro, uni, and even caviar without an AYCE markup felt like a win.
Overall, I’d give it 4/5 stars. The food was good with a few misses, but the quality on the premium items really stood out.
