Booked a table for 8:30pm, only bar table was available, which was cool since izakayas provide nice ambience on sushi bar.ordering was difficult because the "today's special" menu was in japanese. servers were not offering to give me an intro, so i had to chase down a lady to get her to sell me the menu. so i asked her what's the recommendations for today, she just mentioned briefly about hamachi and octopus for sashimi... and clams and pork chops from the kitchen. first of all, there are over h
later, i was notified grilled pork chop was sold out. there was this item next to pork chop that i inquired about. it was some fish. i wanted to get that but it was also sold out. so i asked, so what's still available? she said: errr... maybe try grilled wings... why would i order wings at an izakaya?? so forget that, i'll just follow the main menu.
here is what was on today's menu:
$60 each white wine clams: $90 each Oysters (it was soooo fat and delicious!! but my dad asked me how come it doesnt stick to the shell, good question dad! so i asked the server. server told me it was because some pppl like to slide it right into their mouth and down their throat so that's why it's was separated from the shell by the chef - my dad still has doubts they reuse the shell) $180 hamachi: fresh!!! thick and sweet the common beef patty katsu. nothing spectacular. curry udon: nothing special. curry sauce + udon. very similar to those udon joints that u pay $60 for. and those places serve with meat and condiments. here you pay triple the price but it only comes with onions. items from regular menu:
$90 toro with tofu: this was good!!! who needs the today's special menu?! $180 ox-tongue: awesome dried blowfish/puffer fish to go with our sake. $35 ice cream
