Denji Japanese Restaurant
Last week, the wife, her parents and myself went to Denji Japanese Restaurant, 1520 Auburn Road, Suite 101, Dacula, GA. (Phone 770-995-8192)
Unlike what we usually see, this is a Hibachi Kitchen, not just a Habachi. The difference is that here, you sit at a regular table, order, and the food is cooked in back and brought out to you. We liked this, because we could sit and have a conversation, instead of us all being spread out and only the people in the middle get to talk to each other. And you don’t get seated with strangers, which some people may like.
Dad and I shared a tuna sashimi appetizer. They sliced it thin, and it was really good. Our only though was the wasabi wasn’t really strong. Not that big a deal, since it’s easy enough to add more.
All the dinners came with a salad with ginger dressing. Yummy. They weren’t skimpy on the dressing either, which won them points from D.
For the main meal, I ordered bulgogi, a marinated beef that’s grilled. I got a taste for it when I spent a year in Korea, and don’t get to have it too often. It was great! And the plate was huge, easily big enough for two people to share. Fried rice on the side left me stuffed.
D ordered a Hibachi Filet Mignon. She also got a huge portion, and it was really good too. I don’t remember what the parents ordered, but they enjoyed it.
We all left stuffed, wondering how we were going to find room for the birthday cake we had waiting at home. (Don’t worry..we suceeded. And it was great, but more on that in a future entry.)
With so many Hibachi restuarants around, when we first saw this place open, we weren’t particularly thrilled. Well, we’re sure glad we decided to give it a try, and are looking forward to going again.
