I wandered in here with a friend in December. Our server was excellent - an older woman who fed us like we were her nephews or grandsons. It was an amazing meal... one of my all-time favorites. Everything was excellent, but the cabbage may have been the best. I had cravings for it all week long and had to go back the next weekend with two different friends. Unfortunately, the experience didn't come close. We had a different waitress who was ok, but the food seemed like it was prepared by another chef. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't spectacular. Maybe a little above average. I'd still go back at some point, but for now, Zenebach Injera a few blocks away is my favorite Ethiopian.

To celebrate the end of tax season, I headed out to Kotobuki with several coworkers. Unfortunately, I found out the hard way that it's closed on Mondays. As is Makato. We ended up at Thai Square. We got the Sun Dried Beef and pork satay for the appetizers. One of my coworkers moaned, "OH GOD" after taking a bite of the beef. It was one of those, "this is $#%(ing good" moments. I really do like the dish myself, as did the other two. The other entrees I've had on my four trips to Thai Square have been decent but not jaw-dropping. The crispy squid/duck is a solid choice. Overall, a decent restaurant, but not an all-time favorite.
