I've walked past this place many times and heard good things about it so finally decided to give it a try. It always seems busy and has good reviews so I was expecting this place to hold up to that. Walking in to the restaurant, I thought the place looked very spacious and modern. We ordered a few dishes (sashimi combo, maki roll and stir fry soba noodles). The noodles came out 1st, and it was drenched in an overpowering sauce. So much sauce that it would drip down the noodles as you ate it. Not good. I thought to myself that maybe their cooked dishes just wasn't their forte and that their sashimi and rolls would make up for it. Also, if I'm having a sashimi platter, I would think that it would be served first. When the sashimi platter came, it looked pretty decent, but as you tasted it, there was no freshness to the fish, and it was on par with AYCE sashimi (if that). The rolls didn't make it any better, it was tiny, filled with fake crab meat and drizzled in an overly strong sweet sauce. It was also supposed to be "torched". I saw specs of char, if that qualifies. All in all, nothing in particular was done extremely poorly, but if you put it all together, we were disappointed with the quality of the food and none of it felt authentic. Also if you factor in the price, it made the experience worse as the value you get for what you pay is low.
