a new japanese fast-food joint, sakura tokyo II - despite the suspicious name (doesn't sound like they'll have good japanese food for real), it turned out to be a strong up-and-comer in the cheap, good-bang-for-the-buck kind of janky place. i had low expectations, but wanted to give it a try while they were still new and offering 10% off, on top of the lunch special prices - got a chicken teriyaki bento box combo and an oyaoko-don. they were both surprisingly good, especially for the price (both around $6). the rolls weren't packed with a thick layer of rice, the chicken meat were all dark and grilled perfectly.

pretty impressed and filled to the gills for $13 for 2 people. not bad!
