Where to begin...??? What is this place??
I was so excited when I first saw this establishment under construction and could not wait for it to open. But boy...what a tremendous disappointment!!! I am a Southern Highlands resident & dinning options are very limited in these neck of the woods!!
First the decor:
As bland & as plain as vanilla gets, without a hint of ambiance!!! It was like an uncomfortable "hospital" like environment. I could only imagine what Joe Bastianich & Tim Love would say if this were an episode of Restaurant Start Up!! Plain walls, no music, no...style!! The place felt like they ran out of money and they drastically cut corners to make do with what they had. If it weren't for the signs, I would have no clue this was a Japanese restaurant!!
Prices: Overpriced for what you get!!
I ordered the teriyaki chicken n beef entree. I paid about $16 dollars & I felt cheated for the amount of food I received! I don't mind paying for food, but give me my money's worth!! There were pieces of fat blubber on my beef and hardly any chicken!! The food was not bad...but I have had better. I was not "impressed". It was just...ok.
2 Stars:
The wait was not too bad for my order to come out. About 10 minutes. I ordered to go. The young girl at the counter was very sweet & nice. Great customer service.
Bottom line: Save your money & go elsewhere. Champagne prices for a beer quality restaurant with a plain vanilla ambiance!!
