Sushi along Olympic Blvd at Beverly Hills

Crazy Fish in mind, we passed and saw the queue at this hip restaurant along Olympic at Beverly Hills. So I pushed Marvin on trying this small Japanese restaurant a few stores down. Upon entering, and no customers around, he instantly chided it was a wrong choice.

The sushi chef, 2 assistant chefs and a waitress greeted us as we sat in the middle of the place. Besides the bar that can probably sit 10, there were only 4 empty tables. I smiled as I opened the menu and saw a "cooked" section, which usually meant homecooked Japanese style food.
They offered tongue, tripe and intestines amongst the usual sushi and grilled fare. So with Marvin not knowing what to get, I decided on traditional Japanese fried chicken, Asian style pancake, miso with mushroom, steamed rice and tea.

The miso soup ($3.50 @) was bland, us probably used to the seaweed taste which was the other choice beside the small black mushrooms. However, we both liked the pancake and the 5 small chicken fingers. Dinner on a Thursday night for two $27.00 excluding tip. We pass by this unique place at least once a week, and I am sure we will be eating here again soon.
