I'm in a very Chinese time of my life…read more I'm so happy this place exists because it's malatang AND skewers combined! My wife and I got chicken heart and chicken skin skewers, beef skewers, eggplant, seaweed, lotus root, enoki mushrooms, and cabbage. Let me tell you it was to DIE for. Perfectly seasoned, savory, spicy, sweet, salty, and what was great was that this place came with UNLIMITED REFILLS OF PLUM JUICE!!! Normally during meals I would only be able to stomach maybe 6 skewers tops but with plum juice I can actually finish all of these skewers, AND get a bowl of soup. Speaking of, yes my wife and I also got bowls of soup... individually, which was a mistake on our part, but I still finished mine. She struggled. We then saw others ordering only one big bowl and splitting it amongst the group. Way smarter. The interior is no fuss at all. Tables, chairs, pot selections which was 3 dollars a pound... and the cash register. I honestly loved how simple it was. I'm coming back with my family

I came here for lunch with my coworkers and we shared a tasting box plus a few rolls on the side…read more I don't eat cucumber, so I specifically asked for no cucumber in our order and was told it could be swapped with avocado, which I really appreciated. We were also informed it would take about 20 minutes, but it ended up being closer to 40-45 minutes due to the lunchtime rush. Totally understandable though, and the manager was very apologetic and even gave us a $5 coupon for our next visit along with our box. When the food arrived, the presentation of the tasting box was absolutely WOW.. it was so beautifully done. We were honestly just too hungry at that point to admire it for long. Unfortunately, I noticed the first roll I picked still had cucumber in it, and when we flagged it, the staff immediately looked into it. It turned out there was a miscommunication about the substitution, and most of the rolls in the box had cucumber. The manager personally came over, apologized, explained everything, and immediately took care of it by offering to remake the box without cucumber and providing a full refund, which really went above and beyond. Despite the hiccup, the service and care from the team really stood out. Mistakes happen, especially during busy lunch hours, but the way the team responded made a big difference. I'd definitely come back again.

I ordered the dream platter and aburi Syaki oshi. I wasn't expecting it to be nicely packaged and it was a damn shame we threw them out but I almost felt like I paid for the extra nice packaging only to have it be tossed... but it does make an excellent gift for someone who really loves sushi! I wasn't expecting the gold leaf OR edible flower garnish at all. It was a very cute touch on this very snowy day. The oshi sort of fell apart everytime I picked it up which was a shame because it was nicely charred and sweet from the mango. Bit of a personal peeve but I don't think sushi should fall apart when you pick it up with a chopstick. I think it should stay in tact. Next time I'm gonna order takeout and have it delivered so I can feel like I had a nice package of sushi delivered

The service is incredible here, and the vibe is cool-chic. Just loving the atmosphere here…read more As for the food, don't expect it to be a "traditional Izakaya" here, but that's not a bad thing. They do the "traditional" dishes with a twist / fusion. For example, the black cod is usually feel heavy with the miso based sauce, but they added some acidity to the sauce and they made the black cod taste rich and light (not to mention the black cod was perfectly cooked); traditionally the Brussels Sprouts would be finished by tossing balsamic vinegar over it. Sometimes that would still feel heavy. Instead, they tossed it with strawberry vinaigrette. So the acidity is very light and not too sweet. We finished our meal with the Yokai Signature Maki. Yes, they SHOULD be proud of this Maki enough to put their name on it. They hit it on the nail with the taste profile. I have a zero tolerance with spiciness, so they put the spicy mayo on the side, and I encouraged my wife to dip the Maki with it. She confirmed my suspicion that the spicy mayo took the maki to another level. We definitely will come to try other dishes. Edit: they comped us a slice of Matcha Cheesecake. While it is still not my cup of tea, but I was very impressed with how good it taste. My "dislike" is with cheesecakes because they feel heavy. Though it is still on the heavy side for me, but as soon as I spoon in a bit of the strawberry sauce, it just lightened up the whole thing. They have successfully amazed me with how well they play with taste.

I had high hopes of this izakaya but unfortunately the expectations fell short…read more The vibes were fun, but the restaurant is quite cramped and a bit too loud. I felt I had to shout in order for my friend to hear me who was sitting right across from me. I ordered: - brussel sprouts ($12) - tasty but salty - shrimp risotto ($22) - rice uncooked & salty - corn croquette ($10) - this was good - skewers sampler ($34) - quite overpriced for 6 skewers - forgot what drink was call but it was $8-$10 and was also very bland Everything was just overly salty. The only items I would order again is the brussel sprouts and corn croquette. However, portion size was quite small and not worth it overall.

First off, this place is decorated nicer than most pho places I go to, so I give it extra credit for that. We tried two similar pho bowls, and they came out quickly. Broth is quite good, noodles weren't overcooked (which can happens sometimes), and the toppings generous. Ordering a L or XL bowl and sharing is a much better than deal than ordering separately. Service is fast and efficient. Note, they only take cash/debit only. Overall, I was happy with our meal. Good pho, and reasonable prices when you share bowls with family.

Music is on the louder side though, but no problem. Quick review. You cannot sub ingredients/toppings, only noodles and if you're allergic to something. This is normal in Japan and I believe the owners are Japanese anyway. The staff girl is very kind, soft spoken and extremely patient, reminds me of staff in Japan. The broth itself was quite delicious. Only thing that put the whole dish down was the abundance of beansprouts, there were beansprouts on the top and bottom/side (?) but just a whole lot. The pork was almost paper thin and very small. Maybe if it came with more than just two thin meat, would be better. Otherwise everything else is okay. The price of $24 for the dragon is absolutely not worth it though. Should be around same price less than $20 for it. 3.6/5

It's a small spot but does have a decent amount of seating. Very casual in style, where you order and pay at the counter before seating yourself, and food is not served to the table so they call out your order for pick up. Menu is easy to follow: you pick a vessel and a protein, as well as your choice of toppings and sauces. You can also choose sides and drinks as well. They also have daily deals. My go-to is the HOLY SHRIMP as a SALAD bowl. I top it with cheese, caramelized onions, crispy onions, cucumber, southeast salsa, and sweet pickled cabbage. Their avocado cream is a must-have sauce and this time, I requested a little bit of their roasted peanut sauce as well. The shrimp will definitely have you saying "HOLY!" because they're so crunchy and flavorful. Not to mention, a really good size! One serving is about 5-6 large pieces of shrimp. The K.F.C. was the first protein I tried and is my second go-to choice. Service is always friendly and in general, the entire process is just so easy and convenient. I've also never had to wait long for my food, which I appreciate!
