Chiobu had an eye problem, and took MC. But cannot see still must eat so we went to have the popular bento lunch at Tatsuya. The bento set ranges from $28 to $30 odd. We had the sashimi-unagi bento ($30.80, above) and sashimi bento ($28.70, below).

In general, the cooked food had a char taste to them. This worked for the delicious tempura, as if it had wok hei, but didn’t quite work for the delicate items like yuzu chawanmushi and miso soup, which subtle tastes were marred by the char aroma.

The sashimi was fresh but they might have overcooked my unagi eel that was tough.

After taxes, we paid $70 for two persons or $35 per pax. We thought it was good value and generally delicious.
