text: I like this place alot, its within walking distance from my house, loud and informal, authentic, and a blast.\n\nAnywhere you sit you are bombarded by noise, smells, glossy pictures of the food, and occassionally someone's sloppy elbow.  in a town of over inflated celebrity chef pet restaurants, a place like this fills the niche.  \n\nthe food is solid japanese counter fare, fresh seafood, great rolls, it comes out whenever.  the service is usually pretty quick and they love giving out fresh beers.  plus they serve pork belly which is a huge plus in my book.\n\ndefinately hit the spider roll, the yellowfin tartare, the pork belly and napa stir fry, and the HONEY TOAST!!..  where else can you get half a loaf of bread filled with icecream?
