Simply prepared/delicious
Possibly my favorite non-sushi, non-ramen Japanese spot in Manhattan. The food is incredibly fresh, simply prepared, and, if you sit by the chefs at the beautiful wooden counter, very amusingly cooked (the cooks occasionally "break the fourth wall" and ask you to applaud them). The robataya dudes even let you try out the wooden paddles that they use to precariously transport the raw ingredients to their tiny grills. The portions are small, but you're supposed to order a bunch of small plates, tapas-style. The non-robataya food is also great-- there's one pork soup/stew dish that was amazing.

Small potaoes
Such a nice idea but two and one half small potatoes (1 1/2inchers) For a total of five grilled piece (they were cut in half) for $5.00 is just ridiculously expensive.
