Gaijin - side

Okonomiyaki: Whatever you want, grilled. The 'whatever ' are things you 'll like.

I booked the chef table a month early but the female manager wouldn't allow us to sit because it's reserved for groups of four. Very rude and unprofessional. Other than that, the service was slow, and the food was so-so.

Fantastic restaurant! been there 2x (most recently for their anniversary dinner) so far and hope to return for sure in future. favorite, memorable dishes: black walnut, Jerusalem artichoke appetizer (not usually a veg-lover but really enjoyed this), matcha donut, and the piece de resistance, their kakigori (have had ones where there is sesame or chestnut ice cream beneath the flavored ice, the former especially yummy)

Yummy, unique eating experience. Huge portion sizes as well.

If you want to experience great hospitality, food with incredible taste and presentation, please dine at Gaijin. We also met Chef Paul Virant which was a pleasure by itself. We feasted on Okonomiyaki with the dancing bonito as topping. It was wonderful. Next time, I look forward to the one with shrimp. The atmosphere was lively and the service was top notch. We will go back, no doubt.
