What kind of sicko doesn't like a to nurse a drink over some healthy food? Not me. When I want a shot in the arm , this is just what the doctor ordered. Service: Friendly and attentive. Food comes out willy nilly as it's ready (which suits me just fine, it is a casual place.) There is a 17% copay added to your bill. No additional tipping is allowed. They don't take rezzies, so just show up. Atmosphere: Enter a teeny lobby and take the elevator to the restaurant. Huge picture windows and a big video screen add light to the spacious, open dining room. Chic and reminiscent of the Wagamama chain with it's communal wooden dining tables separated from the kitchen by a low wall. |

Soba
set ($8.95): The white miso soup was fantastic with it's hidden soy beans, burdock root, napa cabbage, carrot and daikon. Miles ahead of what you'll get when you order miso soup in most other restaurants in the City. Tofu isn't just for hippies anymore, it's reached a new level with this fresh artisanal brick of pulverized soy. This simple, delicate, subtle block of vegetarian wonder was garnished simply with some ginger and nori. Required eating at this restaurant. Buckwheat Soba had a light and flavorful broth. The perfectly cooked noodles were enhanced with wakame seaweed and a surprise of a sour plum at the bottom (watch out for the pit.) Although fiddlehead ferns were listed on the menu as an ingredient, I didn't find any in my bowl. |
