The food was very uneven. Since idea of Tapas is really how the Chinese emperor eat-very small (French) portion, it is the first concept in the city with expensive decors. It is very expensive but they do put some expensive ingredients in the food but some do not compliment well at all. I am not sure if the owner knows when it a proper time to serve particular item. I expect a place like this know to start with ambouse mouche, following by soup/salad then the entree follow by dessert if desired (Most Japanese do not want dessert). We got the pork sugarcane appetizer first but it was overcooked and the sauce was too heavy/salty. The sugarcane did not have the taste of the sugar cane at all which lead me to believe that it might be spoiled. The pork should taste slightly gamely but the over-seasoned sauce completely covered it (Totally unacceptable by my pallet who thrives on umame). Steam dumpling was a shau long bao (dumpling with soup inside but the dough was too thick--the sauce was excellent and the broth inside was good), Vietnamese green papaya salad comes with the fried tofu which didn't come with the sauce at all. I've request some sauce and it was mediocre. The Manila Clam was covered with rice wine (completely) that left a very bitter taste which my chef training only to do that to cover the spoilage of the clam (I felt a little sick since I can't even taste the clam and feeling quite uneasy about it). For someone who do not know the Asian cooking, this might be acceptable for them but it can't fool a restaurateur like me. The best part of the meal was the mi-so soup which they made it just like the way my grandmother would make it with takaki mushroom, boil tofu, rice cakes (this is new), and napa cabbage. It was a nice ending to wash down all the unpleasant things that we endured earlier.
