Leichi is a small Japanese restaurant with a mixed reputation. While some dishes like buri daikon, black cod, and tongue grill are tasty, the sashimi can lack freshness despite its high price. The lunch menu stands out, featuring popular items like deep fried oyster, grilled salt salmon, pork katsu, and tofu. Many diners enjoy the grilled Hokke and salmon, with the salmon being a favorite for its three side dishes and a refreshing soup that is not miso. The restaurant is known for its fresh fish, great presentation, and friendly staff, but the venue is small, so reservations are recommended. Although space is limited and offers little privacy between tables, the atmosphere is nice and the food is great. In the evenings, Leichi transforms into a traditional Japanese izakaya.
