Went to lunch with Z today. We needed something quick, so we settled on an old favorite - Yakatori 5, just down the street from the office.

I always get the #7 (Tatsuta & Yakitori), so I was determined to make a point of ordering something different today.

I decided to try their Pad Thai. Hot. The waitress asked if by "hot" I meant "5 star hot" or "Thai hot". At this point, I kind of wussed out and said "5 star". I guess I'm only good for American hot. I also ordered a side of Tatsuta because I love the stuff.

The food came out quick, and looked great

The Tatsuta was awesome. It's basically cubed pork coated with something (I have no idea what) and deep fried. They serve it with a nice mustard sauce. The chunks seemed larger today than usual, but they were just as delicious.

The Pad Thai was HOT. Once I got used to it, I was able to eat it ok. The noodles were great the flavor was good. My only complaint was the chicken. It seemed dry. Personally, I enjoy the Pad Thai at Bhan Thai a bit more. It was still an excellent lunch though, and very reasonably priced.

You can really never go wrong eating at House of Yakitori - they have a wide variety of food, for fairly low prices, friendly service, and good quality.
