Yeah the omakase is 44 dollars a person...and that includes miso soup and rice....the miso soup was really good, they use a red miso paste for the soup so it has a heady flavor, as opposed to the standard shiromiso (white miso) they use at almost every japanese restaurant.

Dood I was stuffed by the end of the meal, I couldn't even finish the sweet potato and I ventured one spoonful of ice cream...i was done.

For all the food mentioned above..I thought it was pretty reasonable. :)

well, one thing i can say again....is this is another joint in your proverbial backyard. ;)

Donburi is good. :victory:

Yeah I imagine they're pretty good, judging by dinner.

The atmosphere was really quiet at dinner...in fact the place was practically empty, sitting at the bar we were the only ppl sitting there during the entire meal. there was one other party that was in a private dining room behind closed doors where you sit japanese style and have to take off your shoes.

They also had three booths where you could eat that were also behind doors which could be closed if you choose, along with the bar and regular tables in the main dining room. Very flexible seating arrangements.

There used to be a resturant in Houston called Tokyo Garden where you had the choice to sit Japanese style or at a table....but it closed :shamefulcry:
