Tom: Chain from Japan with authentic Japanese comfort food. Portions are good and food is excellent. Line/wait here can get pretty long.
Mika: It's great tasting slightly fancier Japanese comfort food but so overpriced. They only take reservations for opening time (5:30). If you wait at opening, you might be able to walk in.
Stan Tran: Incredibly solid option for all sorts of Japanese comfort food. Order your set meal with brown rice to make yourself feel slightly less guilty...
