| - Meh, that's all I can say...meh, average, whatev, so-so.
The ambience and vibe is cool, the scenery is modern, but the overall seating and dining room is a little weird, sort of not feng-shui. But that's not that big deal, for me the big deal was having MEH food.
The calamari (they call it Fried IKA here) was weak, it was pretty dry and you could still taste some of the flour on it, it wasn't crisp and sharp, just dry and flat. I really did not dig the calamari, and the veggie tempura was the same...flat, willowy, and just not done well by tempura standards. The sashimi and nigiri were fine, but then again it's kind of hard to screw up a piece of raw fish, just..slice it and serve it.
The dishes and appetizers were just not inspiring or special, they were average and certainly not worth their price...this place is pricey for average to boring food.
It's OK...I personally wouldn't come back just because the food wasn't exciting or very memorable, I could barely remember what I ate when I woke up the next day, it was just not memorable or noteworthy.
Mikado is right down the street and they do the best tempura anywhere, seriously...I've had tempura at every sushi joint in the area, and Mikado wins every time. But if you want to try out rock lobster, go ahead, at least check it off your list of places you've been.
