Well, Nana_Kat and I were there Saturday around 8pm. The restaurant started out almost empty but was filling up when we left. I think there was a sign out front saying there was to be live jazz between 10:30pm and 2:00am or something like that. Anyway, I don't have a lot to add food-wise. The chicken tatsura I had was accompanied by some over-cooked stir-fried vegetables and a potato side with kabocha and asparagus that was actually pretty good. There were some interesting things on the menu, although more with cheese than I would have liked at a Japanese restaurant. I'm thinking this place would possibly be a much better deal during happy hour as listed in the Seattle Times' article, when the starters would have been two for the price of one. Also, the lunch options actually sounded better than the dinner entrees, and definately more economical. I'd be kind of tempted to try it during lunch, except for the fact that I'm usually over on the Eastside then. I just can't see myself going there for dinner again anytime soon. I'll probably leave my "homestyle" fixes for home or maybe Fuji.
