Ariake is a good source of tasty food at a reasonable price. The feel is very fun and loose! The waiters have been known to do things that make dining more fun. Very non-traditional: Watch out if there's a birthday -- Lights out, smoke on, noise-maker and sake shots! I recommend Ariake for its food if you are unconcerned with how traditional and authentic a restaurant's atmosphere is.
Pros:  Fun/loose ambience, friendly waiters, good value
Cons:  , no large groups, no free soda refills
