  • I thought hard about writing this review as it seems like the business is struggling, but decided to go ahead as I think that the use of store-bought fishcake (oden) as a main course was insincere. We were extremely disappointed by the fact that the chef chose to serve, as a main course, oden with steamed bok choy. I grew up in Japan and this would be almost the same as serving instant mashed potatoes as a main course. The oden was obviously store-bought. It was floating in dashi that was made from the store-bought granules-- it was not fresh dashi stock. Check out any Asian grocery store that carries Japanese products for frozen oden-- I promise you that you will find what they are serving here. The rice course was mussels floating in broth with rice. It was tasty, but it should not have been spicy. I am 100% on board with fusion, the use of bok choy, creative interpretations of culinary traditions, etc., but I was disappointed that this strange spicy rice concoction, served in a bowl for Korean stews, was presented as the apex of Japanese cuisine when it seemed to me that in actuality the chef was trying to maximize profit by introducing a dish that was seemingly impressive but composed of very cheap ingredients and not thrown together with particular care. The dish had nothing to do with Japanese food. I was reminded a lot of the flavors I grew up with, but we ate at La Salle a Manger the next night and for the same price, we had something that was genuine, creative, where you could tell that the chef was really thinking about the food and thinking about what it means to eat. Maybe when the chef started out, this was what he had in mind. But at this point, essentially, I think he is cheating people. He is taking people for a ride-- after a brief stop in Japan, through the aisles of a discount grocery store. Maybe this is all that the neighborhood can support-- I don't know. What I do know is that we talked in Japanese and I believe that he should know better. How would you like it if you were interested in my national cuisine, and I fed you a hot dog that I bought from the supermarket, telling you that this was the height of my culinary art?
