Love me some Wa Dining Okan. It is NOT a hole in the wall, even though it might appear to be on first glance, as it's tiny and in a Convoy strip mall. It is a tiny, perfect, classy establishment.
Music: French cabaret
Food: Best miso soup I've had in San Diego. Wonderful broth. Delicious vegetables.
Got the salted grilled salmon again (enjoyed it so much last time). Delectable brown rice with some seaweed (I forget the name). The two veggie tapas of the day that came with it were a delectable broccoli with sesame seeds, and a "tofu lees" (I had to ask twice what that meant). It turns out it is the soy pulp left over after you take soy milk out of a soybean. YUM. There were also some perfect little pickles: 2 baby cuke slices, 2 tiny carrot slices, and then some beet-red (tomato?) pickles. Perfectly briny, clean, refreshing, crisp.
The atmosphere is also very quiet, as if the people crowded in realize that this is a temple of food and one should speak in hushed tones while enjoying it.
Many customers were Japanese.
This is such a perfect little restaurant. San Diego is so enriched by having places of this caliber. I can't say I've had a more delicious piece of fish (even though it was simple) or more intriguing veggies in quite a while.
My 3rd visit should come sooner than my 2nd visit took!!
