| - Came here for a company dinner a while back. Although I found the atmosphere of the restaurant to be very lively and entertaining, I wasn't a huge fan of the food.
We had sake and beer given to us to start. The sake was poured in very cute bamboo cups; however, the cups appeared to be continually wet giving me the impression that it was not quite... sanitary?
Then, the appetizers came. There was kimchi with seaweed and edamame beans soaked in soy sauce. Both were okay, but I did prefer the edamame beans because I felt the soy sauce gave it an additional depth of flavour. That being said, it was quite salty and I soon found my fingers stained.
A variety of small dishes came soon afterwards. There was aburi (torched) sushi with some sort of flying fish eggs - the sushi was mediocre, and fell apart quite easily. The only cool thing was that they fired the top right in front of us. There was a hot stone pot with ground beef and an egg that was all mixed up when it arrived at our table too. Unfortunately, even though we left the bowl alone for a while, it failed to form any sort of rice crisp.
There was also fried chicken (didn't taste it, but it looked pretty good). Overall, nothing particularly mind-blowing nor amazing.
That being said, when we had our round of sake bombs, the staff definitely left a solid impression and was very effective/successful at creating a great atmosphere/ambiance!
