Dr. P went surfing on Sunday.  I couldn't go with him because I had to work in the afternoon.  Poor me had to have lunch alone.  I tried to find a good takeout place on Yelp, and came upon New Japan.



New Japan is a "place your order at the counter and pay" kind of restaurant.  It's kind of like Japanese fast food, but the decoration is much nicer than the normal fast food joint.  They serve everything from sushi, roll, sashimi, to teriyaki and tempura.  One Japanese girl was taking order (and money), while one Hispanic guy did the cooking (and making sushi) in the back.



Beef & Sashimi ($8.75)

I ordered a beef and sashimi combo.  It took them about 15 minutes to get the food ready.  It was slow, but at least I know the food was freshly prepared after I placed the order.  5 large pieces of fish: 1 salmon, 2 tuna and 2 white fish.  The sashimi was very fresh.



The yakiniku beef also came with salad.  I like their sweet and creamy salad dressing.  The BBQ beef was so flavorful and tender.  Delicious!  Only wish they would give me more rice.  Portion was big enough for my lunch and dinner.

I like New Japan.  Oh yeah, it's a cash only place.  Next time I'll place my order over the phone then go pick it up to save time.  I want to try their chicken next time.
