We had a great time at this delightful Japanese shoebox. \n\nHad reservations, got right in, reservations were at the bar. That being said, this is not a large place. This is not even a medium sized place. They have a few tiny table seating areas off of a main bar/kitchen area. It's all very nice. They yell something in Japanese(?) when you walk in and leave.\n\nOur waiter was courteous and had good recommendations. We had two different \"Shochu\" drinks, I expect these are similar to the \"Soju\" beverages we had at Soyo that were so delectable.\n\nThe food was fresh and interesting. The veggie spring rolls were superb, The tempura was delightful and crisp, Garlic potatoes were excellent and I had a beefy sprouty dish that was spectacular. This is the first time I've had Japanese that wasn't Sushi (or burgers at Bachi), so please forgive my being unable to explain what it was, just know it was all very good.\n\nMy wife and I really enjoyed being that close to the kitchen (1.5 feet overlooking) and got to see the care of how everything was made. \n\nWe had food, drinks, alcoholic and non, and five Tapas for less than fifty bucks. I was impressed.
