Highly recommended: beef brisket ramen (generous servings of very tender beef and soothing, not-too-spicy broth), torched beef inari sushi (huge portion! 1-2 is filling enough), spicy salmon maki.
Good to try, but may rethink about ordering again: spicy salmon nori fries (the batter became soggy quite fast, so eat it quickly), chicken chahan (nothing outstanding, and I wish the rice was hotter when served), chicken yakitori (too sweet for my liking, not enough char)

We arrived past 5pm and we were first there, and the place was filled quite quickly. I like the casual ambiance and the service was fast.
I paid via credit card. We were able to do street-side parking right beside...
