  • With its jaw-dropping Kill Bill interior, stylized primo tableware, and good-looking staff, this sexy Japanese fusion newcomer is like a Lamborghini Countach, till you taste the food and realize it has a Chevy engine. I met Yelpers Christine C. and Deanna W., and her non-Yelper friend for pre-dinner drinks in the bar. The signature cocktails* ($14) are ambitious: bacon-infused gin in one, spicy Korean kochujang along with cilantro in another, two types of seaweed in mine. These libations explode with foodie-fave ingredients and are not for the apple martini set. We then moved on to the robata bar for our dinner. We got comp edamame sprinkled with schmancy, delicious Japanese sea salt. We decided to share four tapas: Dungeness crab maki ($11)* pork belly tonkatsu ($15)* duck breast in Japanese curry ($21)* miso black cod ($20)* Most of the dishes suffered from overcomplicated-fication; too many competing flavors yielding wannabe-Nobu dishes on a bad acid trip. The standout of the night was the pork which wasn't crusted in panko crumbs like a true tonkatsu but came garnished with thin strips of addictive miso bacon. Our cute newbie waiter, though well-meaning and eager, was not well-versed in the menu and therefore couldn't make informed recommendations on the food or sake. Not cool for a restaurant charging these prices. We each finished off our meal with thimblefuls of ramen* ($10). I know the Japanese have a tradition of eating till just 80% full but this was ridiculous--barely edging past 60 on the fullness scale. Just as well, since the broth wasn't deep enough and the noodles lacked the chewy springiness that I look for in ramen noodles. I'd probably go back for a cocktail, to soak up the ambiance, and tinkle in the cool washrooms (that have the nice paper towels I like), but I generally prefer more substance and less style when it comes to my food. *See photos
