The portions are so small! I’m afraid my Ohio background is crying out in protest- me want more food,more food!
Really, I think you must be eating like this every day. Wonderful pics as always and the price seems reasonable.
Btw – I am having great difficulty trying to picture you and W having Kraft Macaroni and Cheese at home.
This is a restaurant that does simple dishes really well. Always worth a visit, or a re-visit as the case may be.
Nice photos. I love the menu. Very cool
@secade - I guess you are more of a steak n’ potato person?
@ElusiveWords - Matt, we do sneak in a bowl of instant ramen once in a long while!
@christao408 - Yes, we should go again on your next visit to LA! But again, there are a few other places I want to bring you too!
@oxyGENE_08 - Thanks, Gene! I think you’ll like the rice dishes as well!
@CurryPuffy - RICE!!! lol
A sizzling food porn.
i love japanese cuisine, especially when it comes to their RICE. the best rice i’ve ever tasted. judging from the pic, that’s exactly what you got. typical japanese short grain rice, sweet and plump to the bite. and i wouldn’t mind gulping down that mackerel and ume tea either. YUM.
@ZSA_MD - Thank you, Zakiah! The rice dish was sizzling indeed!
@rudyhou - Rudy, you have a very good food sense! I wish I could hire you to write in my descriptions!
@CurryPuffy - no need. simply take me out for lunch or dinner and i’ll one happy camper. i’m cheap that way
