| - I stand by my previous rating regarding their sushi quality, which has definitely gone down the drain. My friend ordered the Sakura lunch special, and the fish in her meal was as hard, dense, and plasticky as ever. That being said, the special was a good value for its price point of $13.95, as it included a big bowl of udon, three nigiri, two dynamite rolls, 6 pieces of sashimi, and 5 pieces of assorted tempura - in addition to salmon.
My rating this time, however, reflects the quality of the beef sashimi bibimbap that I ordered and the service that I received today. The waitresses were quite attentive for the most part, and very good with answering my questions about the raw beef bibimbap. They had pleasant smiles on their face the whole time. When my bill came out at the end with an incorrect amount (we had asked them to split the bill, and although the bill was split, the final cumulative total was not and it appeared on my part of the bill), the waitress apologized and was very sincere and nice about it.
It was my first time trying the beef sashimi bibimbap. I was initially surprised that it didn't arrive in a dolsot (hot piping stone bowl), but instead, in two separate bowls with the hot rice separate. I was, however, pleased by the fact that it came with a healthy dousing of vegetables (almost half)! I mixed the egg with the beef and veggies, then added the hot sauce and ate it with the rice. It was very flavourful, but beware of the spicy pieces of raw garlic! My meal also came with miso soup and a salad, so that was also the pleasant surprise!
Next time I come, I am definitely ordering the Korean food instead as its quality seems to be more superior than the Japanese food.
