The classy, casual restaurant opened its doors a month ago, and offers tasty food at reasonable prices in a very welcoming setting. Customers also will be pleased with the beautiful presentation, nice size portions, complimentary green tea, a friendly staff, free parking and even the chairs are noticeably comfortable.
“The concept is really simple — good food, great prices and a relaxing atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating,” says marketing director Marilyn Cariaga. “We serve good Japanese food specializing in donburi.”
The restaurant’s signature dish is the Sakura Chirashi Sushi Don ($18) prepared with ahi, yellow-tail, salmon, ikura, uni, sushi rice mixed with grilled salmon flakes, sesame seeds and nori. Also popular is the Spicy Ahi & Ikura Don ($13.50) consisting of spicy ahi, ikura, sushi rice, sesame seeds, nori, an original jalapeno shoyu sauce and tobiko. And a must-try appetizer is the Unagi Oshi Zusi ($13.50) featuring a rectangular-shaped pressed sushi rice topped with freshwater eel, avocado, radish sprout and cream cheese.
There’s also a cafe menu with espresso, coffee and homemade desserts, including a toothsome Flan ($5.50) that is just the perfect addition to complete your meal.
“We use fresh, healthy ingredients and high-quality seafood,” notes Cariaga. “The response has been very positive. We already have many return customers. They seem to enjoy the experience.”
