The only place that serves "Yakult Green Tea", as authentic as I can get locally, the first time we dined here I was impressed. The prices were pretty good and the ambiance was balanced, in the sense that everyone gets some comfortable distance even when the place is jam packed. The chairs are always comfy and we always get a seat near the door and just a view of the TV with Jordan's highlights playing on mute with Japanese anime theme songs playing on the background.Sudden price change:The self-grilled pork started at 299, became 399 which was rather surprising... A lot of the menu items had noticeable price increases in which wasn't explained. Service fell from the first time we got there. Our first time was unbeatable, there was water right off on our table, the bill came and they weren't so pushy with getting the bistro card. On the third and fourth times? We had to ask for water around twice, and they were a little pushy about getting the card.A difference in service/But Food's good all the same:They used to sit by you as you ordered, I kind of liked how that was rather unique to this place, but at some point similar to the price changes, the service changed as well. And it wasn't as good now as it was before. Which was rather disappointing. It still serves pretty good food, the teppanyaki is tasty and the Japanese rice is nicely cooked. The presentation on some dishes disappeared and the portions on our favorite self-grilled pork became irregular and the cuts rather bad.Will visit this place again soon! And see if it improved somehow as they have competitors around the area now. (And hopefully they didn't increase the price again)
