I will continue to post my exploration around this area if it helps folks decide. I will be back again end of the month. Free parking, nice modern room is winning me over.
Ok here's one place i went with high expectations but won't be back again:
Cow杯居酒屋

love the name of the place and the owner was super friendly..but the food unfortunately didn't match the rating..price was on the high side too. Won't go back unless I want their home made plum wine. Skip the food.
