Nice medium scale homey feel. Cozy for small groups inside and out. Bar looks like it has some interesting drinks I’d like to try. I had the Teriyaki Salmon Bowl. Descent size. Filled me up. The salmon was plump and flaky and the skin was crispy crunchy the way I like it. The string beans were flash blanched and crunchy and sat amidst some carrots and takuwan (pickled daikon or turnip). Large scoop of rice. Loved the teriyaki sauce was good but I didn’t like the bottom third of my rice drowning in it. Perhaps they could separate the rice by letting it sit in a plastic cup or something? Just a suggestion. Service was okay. Parking can be a bear as there are only about five spaces in front. Metered parking in Adams Avenue. Side street parking is used by residents in the area. Do not park in the back as it is for the other tenants in the building and you will be towed.

They take orders via toast which is nice since I can order and pay ahead. Parking is usually easy since there’s lots of street parking nearby and a small lot in front. Very nice calm neighborhood.
View on Google ↗Very pricey meal for the portion sizes. Had high hopes for the food here but was disappointed. Nothing had a wow factor. Service was good and parking is easy since they have a lot. Small indoor seating area, mostly tables outside.
