Last Friday night the sweetie took me to Akiba for dinner. It was a bit of jostling just to get through the door which was crowded with people trying to actually get in, people trying to pay and get out, as well as the only thoroughfare for wait staff to get to the tables outside. That could all do with a redesign. Got in and got a bench facing the street which was nice. Not this view of the bar from the entrance hehe.
We ordered some drinks and the waiter said that in addition to any food we ordered they'd bring around tasty treats "chef specials" that we could also take. No sooner had they said that then someone came around offering "eggplant chips" ($5). These were an awesome start.
We dropped one of the things we were going to order, and ordered some food. Straight after they came around offering chef special chicken wings ($7). Since we'd ordered food we were a bit worried it'd be too much, but they looked so awesome, so we took them, and they were! These were probably my favourite.
Salt and sichuan pepper squid, onsen egg ($21), delicious, probably Stu's favourite.
Agadashi fried tofu, nori, daikon, togarashi ($12) which was quite nice
Japanese fried chicken, lemon braised onions, parmesan, kewpie, sriracha ($19). The kewpie and sriracher were in little bottles on the side. Yummy.
We ended up quite full by the end of it, and I think we probably should have gotten some more vegetation, but quite a delicious meal.
