| - Ive been a customer for this restaurant for almost 3 years now.
The foods are okay, but nothing too special in tastes, but very special in prices.
Overpriced. I normally spend about $80~120 when I go there for dinner with a friend and I always end up saying why didn't I just go to Zen or Taro?
They focus a lot on decorations of foods and to be fair, they do pretty well on it. But,
their sushi sizes are small and I am not talking about the rice part, I am talking about the fish. I would say it's about 70% of what you would get from other Japanese restaurants.
Robata section isnt anything special, just grilled veges or fishes, kind of taste you can achieve when you grill at your home yourself.
Rolls arent too bad, that lobster roll tasted fresh even though the lobster taste was destroyed by the dressing. Spider roll is a huge let down, costs a lot, uses good ingredients, but the taste sucks.
Now, their whole fish sashimi selections are pretty decent in looks. They actually make a whole fish into a sashimi plate, which makes your eyes very happy. However, again, they dont taste anything special, they are rather bland. I havent been there for a few months now so I dont remember the exact prices but I think the price ranged from $35 to $80 per dish.
You would enjoy the place a lot, 1) if you are generous in fish tastes or 2) if what most of people's $100 dollars feels like $10 dollars to you.
But, I know I can get A LOT, I mean A LOT better sushi and sashmi in different places in T.O, and that's why I go there only for beer or sake after dinner now.
Why 3 stars despite my criticism?
Despite all my negative words, the place is at my doorstep and it still is a good place to grab a drink and enjoy the atmosphere. lol.
