The "Mindy roll" is a must. Made of chopped salmon, fluke, spicy mayonnaise and tempura flakes, it's topped with a delicious mix of chopped spiced raw fish. A simple but delicious spicy tuna roll is grand.
So is cooked food, such as the burnished una don (barbecue-style eel) over rice and the tender glazed chicken teriyaki. Vegetarians can dine well on a tofu steak dinner, topped with a ginger-infused sauce and served with plenty of fresh vegetables. You'll find comfort in a big bowl of nabeyaki udon (order the shrimp tempura on the side to avoid sogginess), a savory broth afloat with vegetables and a poached egg.
Service can be rushed at times, laid-back at others. Over the years, this has held up as one of the more consistent refuges for fine, fresh Japanese fare.
