Food Scene

I've lived in Asia for a decade and I feel this cozy joint is really near to my heart. The service is attentive enough. Grill everything at your table and prepare to come with an appetite. A bit pricy but they have daily 1/2 off happy hours on food and drink. Best for two or more.

Adventurous? If you've never had Okinawan cuisine you owe it to yourself to pop in. I'm still working my way through the menu. It's not your typical Japanese but if you're tired of the same old then I recommend it highly! Good for single diners.
