Food Scene

Outstanding Japanese Izakaya that doesn't break the bank. Everything on the menu is great, the standouts are actually not the sushi and sashimi dishes (although those are very good). Our favorites for sharing are the okonomiyaki, hamachi kama, curried spaghetti squash, and kimchee brussel sprouts. They don't take reservations so the surest way to get in is to go at 4:45 and stand in line for when they open at 5 pm.
