My Thoughts:
Yes, I ate all that! I love places like this because I can order so many different things! I had little expectations for this place because it is located on Wilshire Blvd, in the heart of the business district...not always the place you find the best Japanese restaurants. However, this is not your traditional Japanese restaurant (at least compared to what you find in the US.) This is a japanese Robatayaki, which consists of mostly cooked and grilled foods. The king prawns were probably my favorite...the lemongrass sauce was the perfect complement to the prawns. The chocolate lave cake (100% homemade) was probably a close second. Oh and there is no better way to impress me than to serve me something that I eat almost everyday but to prepare it in a way that I never thought possible. The pan fried edamame were amazing...not sure if I can go back to the traditional steamed version.
The place was empty, which makes me think that they capitalize on the business, lunch crowd. However, this is definitely a place worth stopping into whether it be for lunch or dinner.
