You will spot some red lanterns, few tables taken by Japanese clients with either warm sake or ice-cold Asahi beer seated on a plastic fold-out table as they wait for their meat slices to cook on the grill. Interestingly, you will be drawn to the corner where worker prepared a traditional charcoal briquettes made from sawdust for our table. This whole scene, made dining here felt like we were in Tokyo. Some Recommended Dish to order: Japanese Risotto, Lamb Jingisukan (Japanese-style Mongolian hotplate - tender pieces of lamb which were very well-marinated), Offal Meet Soup (made mostly of tripes and innards slow cooked for hours in a radish soup with plenty of vegetables)
