I'll have to try Hiko-A-Man for my next foray outside of my usual choices. Did I see that the downtown location is on par with the original? I'm all about options closer to where I live (in a food desert).
The Downtown location, IMO, is actually nicer than the original. The food is the same quality, though service was shaky at the beginning. The only issue with it is that, at least in the six (I think) times I've been to it, it never has any business. We've been the only people there all but two of those times. I don't know if it does well for lunch, assuming it must or it would already close given the overhead. I think it's a combination of lack of advertising (it wasn't even on the website until recently), and the typical "hard to park" locale. Parking back in the garage for a few bucks doesn't matter to me, but I know people who won't go eat down there for that exact reason. It probably also didn't help them that for a quite a while if you tried to make a reservation for that location on OpenTable, it referred you back to the Westport Village location in the background (and made your reservation there instead!). That's fixed, though.
