Roppongi

You will want to avoid Roppongi on Fri and Sat night or you will wait a very long time. Try going during happy hour or for lunch on the weekend. The sushi is very fresh and all the appetizers are big enough for a meal. Take enough friends so you can share a few different tapas items. The crab stack salad is awesome. Also - try the onion rings and bbq mini lamb chops.

I have dinned here three times and each time I enjoyed my experience. Cost of dinner is fair for the La Jolla. The lunch menu is more reasonable than dinner. Roppongi offers both indoor and outdoor seating. The hot rock appitizer is interesting and a must do if you are with a large group. Next to a great cafe.

I used to frequent this place often several years ago. Then I moved to LA. Just went back for the weekend and I must say I am still very impressed. The food is great. There's a good selection of Sake and the decor is very modern. I highly recommend!

However is you are looking for TRADITIONAL Japanese cuisine (and I have had more than my share of Japanese food), then this is not the place for you. I know there are other more reasonably priced Japanese restaurants that will be more satisfying. Some of the guests were pretentious, and loud. There were a few spoiled and obnoxious little rich kids who were all over the place. These are not exactly qualities that are conducive to relaxing dinner out. Decor and ambiance were impressive, but I guess looks don't make for a great restaurant! Who knows someone else may think of this place as great find, but for me, this is not worth a second visit....

This is the restaurant I always take friends and out-of-town guests to because it has my three favorite elements to having a great meal: 1. Beautiful but cozy atmosphere, 2. Excellent food and 3. Great service.I've eaten there many times an...
