My closest friends and I gather here once a month for sushi girls night. We love everything about this restaurant. Service, food, experience. Always amazing.
I came in at a great time on Friday, it wasn't busy yet. I was quickly given a seat and given my menu. I already knew what I wanted to try, so I was quick with my order. Chawan Mushi, a steamed savory egg custard, and Sukui Tofu. It wasn't until afterwords I realized both foods were soft and creamy, not that I minded.
The tofu came first, as I was warned streaming the custard would take some time. I appreciated the warning, I knew it wouldn't be fast, but the heads up was nice. The tofu was cool, soft, and smooth. It sat in a broth I believe and that gave it a mild savoriness. On top were some green onions, mushrooms, and grated ginger. It was a great start, it didn't fill me up, but was gentle and helped me whet my appetite.
Following that, the egg was quite the opposite. It was hot, from being freshly steamed, and it was cooked with broth being blended into the egg so it had a strong taste from whatever broth they were using. It was so soft that I was worried he would break back into liquid, but it held together the entire time. Apparently it came with chicken, shrimp, and ginkgo nuts. I didn't realize they were there until I was at the bottom, but it was a pleasant surprise to have something to chew on after my meal so far.
If I had one complaint, it would be that I didn't notice any of the nuts in the chawan mushi. Though, the rest of them meal was so good that I didn't mind it, and I may just not have noticed them. After being steamed for so long I imagine they were quite soft.
In conclusion, I'm managed to have an enjoyable meal with nothing but a soup and an appetizer. Next time I come by, I'm going to ready my wallets to get some of the more heavy dishes and some sushi. It's going to take a good bit of holding back to not just stop by next time after work.
Place is so cozy, relaxing and has atmosphere of Japan. The best part is there is free parking lot on Saturday and Sundays at the back of the restaurant. Food and service were great! Beautiful blooming tree right outside the restaurant!
We always love coming here, space is clean, food is phenomenal, and staff is always the sweetest and attentive! We've dined in and have chosen for takeout, and both options are great!
We enjoyed our meals. All 3 lunches were delicious, expertly prepared and fresh! Soft shell crabs were well worth the expense. Highly recommend!
Christmas dinner was great!
