| - My friend came into town from Portland, and she wanted to meet someplace with my husband, brother and I. I had passed this place repeatedly and decided to take a chance on this place for an early dinner. We went for Happy Hour partially.
Overall opinion: Although *some* of the dishes were delicious, the amount we paid for the meal did not feel equal to the amount we received in service or food and drink. Also, Happy Hour is definitely not a great steal either. Save your money, and go to a place that has substance in food quality and staff. This is a restaurant that looks very nice in ambiance and makes it feel like it's a hip, trendy spot, but the actual experience leaves you empty inside.
When we first entered the establishment, there were two girls standing at the hostess table just staring at us as they continued tinkering with some knobs/some kind of device at the front. Let me preface first that the restaurant was empty; there were only a few people at the bar. My husband and I had to greet them and ask them about a table before they half-heartedly asked us to try to find a seat at the bar or a high table top. There were four of us, and the high tables were not large enough to accommodate even our waters and the small happy hour menus - let alone giving us large dinner menus or even accommodate any appetizers. We had to put the menus on a nearby chair, and when we finally got our order in for the alcohol, there was some commotion happening next to us where a server randomly shouted to her peer, "You better not f---in' do that to me again," and started banging around some empty pitchers/slamming things on the server station. We then suggested to our server that we didn't think the table given to us was a suitable space to eat so she said she would find a table, and the girls in the front seemed irritated and reluctant to get us an actual dinner table.
The food was okay and the portion sizes were small compared to the price you were paying. We tried to take advantage of Happy Hour prices, so we grabbed an order of the Spicy Tuna Hand Roll (came in 4 pieces), the Tekka Maki roll (came in 6 pieces), a plate of charred edamame, a handful of crispy calamari and 5 Grilled Chicken Wings. What I will say is that the flavor on all of the above was great. The sushi rolls had this perfect, light vinegary taste to the actual seaweed, which brought a little more flavor to an otherwise boring Tekka Maki roll. The Spicy Tuna was suggested to us, but it was honesty the most bland and forgettable of the ones we ordered. Everything else was good, but we spent too much on these tiny dishes - as an example, almost $10 on only 5 chicken wings and $8 on a tiny handful of lightly sauced calamari.
The food was equally disappointing where we thought if we were paying for two tuna tacos or two Korean beef tacos that they would be full sized tacos. They were $9 for two, and the portion sizes were mini tacos! The garlic noodles was $16 and it came in this large bowl but it was the portion size smaller than my fist. The chile-crab garlic noodles and the ginger fried rice were both bland. The crab had no flavor.
Our waitress was nice and checked on our drinks occasionally. The guy that brought us our food was friendly as well. I really did not appreciate that we "disrupted" the hostesses at the front.
Honestly, I don't think we will be coming back here again, but if you HAVE to go because it's mandatory, I would say to stick to the appetizer menu.
