Maki

a friend told me that Maki also has really good noodle soup, so i went on saturday to check it out. i didn't end up having soup but ordered a fancy version of bento box.
everything came in its little dishes and all together on a tray instead of in little compartments of a bento box. miso came in a bowl with a lid! there were seaweed salad, japanese pickles (daikon and carrot) and the cold tofu. the main dish was the unagi (bbq eel) with egg and green peas on a bed of rice all steamed together in a wooden basket with its own lid! everything were good and all were on the sweet side. i think it's more authentic since i've been told that real japanese food is more on the sweet side. the tofu is something different. it was cold, i've not had cold tofu before so it is definitely an acquired taste. that was an interesting lunch, i think i'll try the noodle soup next time.
the restaurant is tiny, all the tables are super close to each other and it's always packed.
