It's tough to follow the Japanese saying of hara hachi bu or "eat until you are 80% full" when I satisfy my cravings for fresh salmon, avocado and shrimp tempura at Tabu. The miso soup and house salad...

Heard this place was REALLY good from one of my east country friends so decided to try it. DO NOT recommend unless you like americanized japenese food. Let's just say its not asian owned and operated.
