I'm so excited to have this close by! But I'm worried that it's not in a prime location so it may not survive... please visit! It's just adjacent to the Safeway.
Their specialty is that they serve a variety of carbohydrates on sizzling plates, including pasta, udon and pepper rice. They have one veggie dish (tofu with mushroom, carrots and bean sprouts). Their salad portions are quite generous for $5 (compared with other Japanese restaurants). The prices are quite reasonable indeed, around $15-18 range which is not too bad in the current inflated economy. The portions are not super huge but they are quite filling. And of course I love the food as I love anything served on sizzling plates, they just have that great flavor. Their pepper rice came with a blob of garlic butter, yummm. A somewhat misleading thing is that they have teriyaki sauce and garlic sauce, despite its red bottle the garlic sauce is not spicy.
A quick tip is if you don't want your carbohydrates to char (some people prefer that of course), just make sure when it arrives mix the food properly. For my veggie tofu dish, I made sure to get the tofu to grill rather than the rice.
I love their cheese fries. It's not just fries and cheesey, they add this really tasty sauce in it too!!!!
Cheese corn was super good too, but I think I like the cheese fries more. I got too carried away from those dishes, I forgot to take a picture of my actual pepper rice LOL.
I got the combo, I think it really worth the price to get it. I can prob eat 3-4 meals with it. The combo also comes with a misl soup. The teriyaki sauce and garlic soy sauce are amazing!!! Make sure you add those into your sizzling pepper rice!!!
I think the best value is probably get one of the combo rice, and add a lot more sauces that is needed, and then bring it home, diluted with more white rice. Because I accidentally add too much sauces and that's what I found out I can eat prob 4 meals with it.
