04-Aug-10I was really excited when I walked in; afterall, their edgy: "no kids, no dogs" sign really piqued my interest and the weird zombie movie playing on the screen was a definite curiosity. Once the novelty of the tiny restaurant and its sparse decor faded, however, I was faced with a really strung out waitress who insisted that: despite having no other customers she simply couldn't seat a table larger than 6.
I explained that my friends were very laid back and we wouldn't mind being separated, we'd put some at the bar and some at a nearby table. She agreed, until they all arrived, at which point she and the owner simply panicked at the idea of making any more money and refused to let two members of our party sit down at a nearby vacant table (we already had 5 at the bar).
The food was good, and the happy hour prices were fine, but it was nothing really special. Except for the novelty of it being "Japanese", it is the equivalent of charging money for a bowl of peanuts or other side dishes that generally come with your entrée.
As a side note there is very little choice for vegans and vegetarians.
We decided to go up the street to Blue Moon, who was happy to take our money and sit us all together, despite being quite busy.
I would consider going back, but probably not very seriously.

18-Dec-09Great food for happy. Unique stuff along with some standards done really well. The edmame is really good, a little extra love make it not your typical snack. Also love the meat skewers. Beef is great but try the duck hearts!
