If you ever wanted a cool hang out with a lounge-like vibe and excellent food, this is the place.
I went a few days ago with the owner of Dassai Sake and former GM of Kumo Restaurant in LA. Needless to say, we were very pleased we got to dine there.
A true dude's night to say the least.
Mr. Jones is under the guidance of Chef Bryan Emperor (former Chef at Ten in Virginia and prior to that, staged in Tokyo, Shanghai) dish out some pretty tasty yakitori.
Just for reference, he uses Kishibori Shoyu, Akasake Mirin, and Kikusui Honjozo, among a few other ingredients to make his "yakitori tare" sauce.
On top of that, he is a stickler for Japanese charcoal, "binchotan", therefore giving everything an even more pleasant and pronounced smoky flavor.
One other aspect I want to stress is the beautiful waitstaff that work the floor of Mr. Jones.
Major props go to Jaime and the management in assembling one of the most "talented" teams in the city.
You guys rock!!!
I'm giving this place a 2 thumbs up DudesonFoods endorsement.
