| - I wanted sushi but somehow we ended up here instead. (It's right next door to and shares dining areas with both Benihana and a sushi restaurant.)
Although I love that the decor inside was incredibly intricate and unique, even with man-made rain and a japanese-style lake scene, it doesn't make up for a shotty vegetarian main dish.
Well, that's not fair. I've had worse. And it's not that it was bad, but it was just not good.
I ordered the vegetable clay pot. It was meant to come with tofu - but I swear there was like 1 part tofu to 30 parts veggies. I love my veggies, sure, and the spices they used were pretty okay. However, the protein tends to be the focal point of most dishes, including vegetarian. The only exception I know to this rule is when spices are used in a generous and skillful way on another ingredient. Needless to say, I was missing my tofu as the flavor here was not anything too special.
The service wasn't bad, but it was also not able to make up for the food I was fairly disappointed with.
As for the photos I posted: I didn't try my husband's gyoza or ramen, so I can't comment on them.
