You can't go wrong here. (2 people)—Start off with a mushroom soup with udon (share it), then order edamame (also share). Get a couple of rolls and ask the eldest lady to recommend a sake based on your preferences if you want sake ;-). Their house water is fine. The meal will run about 90 bucks. Give them a good tip! FYI: the portions are filling. Quality ingredients + well-prepared offerings. Nice place to chat as well—clientele is usually quite civilized. They’ve been there 20 years.

Pros: Menu is all vegetarian. Atmosphere is cozy. Service is super fast. Ordered arrived within minutes of placing the order. Run by old Japanese folks. Servers are super sweet old Japanese ladies. Loved the service. Food is delicious too with so much variety and flavor. Cons : It’s just a little on the pricy side.
