I visited this part of town alot when I was a kid. My brother would take me to Tower Records which was a bit further down the road. I loved seeing the lovely artwork on the album covers and hearing the latest records. It was amazing how there were endless rows of records from tons of artists I never heard of. There was a lovely sound from records I miss. Now I mostly listen in the car to music from my Iphone over the sound of the road. It’s not as good as back in the old days. The food in the Sports Arena area has improved though. I visited Kiiro Sushi Izakaya during their soft opening.
The bento box was a good amount of food for $22.
Miso soup had a nice miso flavor. Not enough tofu in the bowl.
Gyoza had a crunchy shell and filled with pork and onions.
I couldn’t taste the pork as the onion flavored overpowered all the other flavors. I prefer gyoza that uses cabbage as the milder flavor lets you taste the meat.
Rice was mostly soft except for a part near the center that was stuck together. I liked the mild flavor.
Beef short ribs were tender and juicy with a tasty flavor from the marinade and light char.
Tempura consisted of a piece of shrimp and 4 different vegetables. I loved the shrimp which had a thin crunchy batter which gave the shrimp a light fried flavor. The onion ring, carrot, and zucchini were also very good.
Staff was very nice and efficient.
