In my mind, few things in life are better than sharing a good meal with your friend, and to have a nice chat in a quiet and homely place. And that is exactly what I did today ! My friend and I came to this nice little Japanese restaurant for lunch and the result was totally heart warming to say the least The place was only half full when we arrived at around 12:50pm. We were promptly given a seat and greeted by the friendly and helpful wait staff. The place was quite small (only around 10-15 ta
We glanced over the menu and decided to have 2 set lunches. Mine was the chicken skewers set which came with a salad (very fresh and crispy cabbage shreds with a light sour dressing, which was very refreshing), miso soup (good but not particularly impressive), a bowl of rice (genuine Japanese rice used here - very nice), and 5 skewers featuring different parts of the chicken. Although I could not be sure, I think there was chicken liver (good), minced chicken meat (good), chicken meat balls (good), chicken skin ? with onion (good), and chicken knuckles marinated with honey (very good, I really liked this one !). All the skewers were cooked just right and the standard was high - at least on the same level, if not better than most other yakitori joints I have visited so far Likewise, my friend ordered a deep fried pork chop with rice set, which also came with fresh vegetables and rice. He was generous enough to share a piece of the fried pork with me, and it was also very good - I mean, perhaps not as good as the tonkasu shop at WTC, but still of very high standard. In contrary to what others think, we do not find the food portions to be particularly small. At the end I also ordered a cup of coffee, which was freshly brewed and very nice. The price was perfectly reasonable in my opinion. We had a most enjoyable experience at this joint, and I will definitely come back to try their other stuff like 釜飯 and 溫泉蛋 later. And for those who complain about the price and the food portion, maybe they really should go somewhere else to have their local -styled "jap food". This place is for real Jap food lovers only and hence I think there should not be a shortage of customers anyway.
