| - Tapas are the perfect solution for those who eat small portions and want to avoid taking food home. Curious about Asian-influenced tapas, three of my friends and I decided to try their happy hour to enjoy some 50% off rolls in addition to the small dishes.
Their steamed mushroom trio had a light, flavorful vinegar soy sauce that really complement the fungi and fish. Listed as nasu fries, their fried eggplant was perfectly crisp and not greasy. There are a few dishes which you could do without trying like the salmon carpaccio, which was just onions wrapped in thinly sliced salmon. If you want sushi, you'd be better off elsewhere. The rolls were fine and fresh enough, but weren't outstanding.
Considering that the restaurant was about half full, the service was a tad slow. I had ordered a roll a little while after we placed our full order, and it came out before one of the items we initially ordered. Perhaps they were understaffed for that time period, but it was odd to hear that the kitchen staff was backed up.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained right? Thing is, there was nothing special about 808 Tapas.
