  • This place is a new mini-restaurant within the formerly Wasabi Grand Buffet. Wasabi was pretty dismal, so seeing them try to revamp the place and try a new business/model direction is something I applaud them with. The place's decor were pretty well done and comfortable, and really set the mood of a Japanese restaurant. I do think they did a really good job at this. The menu is quite limited, entrees listed just 6 ramens, and 3 shabu shabu (mini hotpot). We tried the Miso Pork Tonkotsu ramen and the Chicken Tonkotsu shabu shabu. Food looked great but taste was disappointing. Pork was tough, noodles felt like instant noodle quality as another reviewer mentioned. Broth was subpar, portions were small, one slice of fishcake, one slice of pork, smaller than avg ramen bowl and missing the corn as well. The hotpot chicken was pre-cooked and tasteless (can we still call it hot pot?), veggies were decently fresh. But I noticed the fish balls were store bought, exactly the same type my mom buys from the supermarket, and that to me was a testament of their true food quality. In all honesty, it was not a terrible meal, but for a new business model we just expected a much bigger effort in the food. On top of this, there is a 12% after tax - mandatory gratuity service fee imposed on all tables regardless of size. The standard is that service tips are charged on the food service, ie. pre-tax amount. The only reason I think they'd impose a mandatory service charge is if people historically didn't tip you much, which really says something. Looking at the receipt, it still says Wasabi at the top, so definitely still the same company. I cannot really explain the vibe of this restaurant, just a lot of things off about it. It tries to masquerade as a competitive modern restaurant, while being lazy and cheap with the actual food. You walk in, there are more employees than guests (aside from the Chako side), and you may even be graced with being able to walk into a completely empty dining room.
