| - Parking (3/5):
I went to Soho for a Yelp - UYE event. Its located on Jones; couple blocks south of 215. Location is easy to find, but parking might be an issue on busy night.
Atmosphere (4/5):
Average noise levels, very comparable to other sushi or AYCE restaurants. Good for a large gathering, etc.
Service (3/5):
This place was very accommodating with 15-20 people. All though it could be because they knew that we were with Yelp. It seemed like that their staff was not the most attentive or trained. One of the waitress actually managed to pour left over sauce over one the my friend's dress. Which was an accident, but that just shows that they need to improve their Service.
Food (3/5):
Food was way better than their service. Restaurant actually made a tasting menu for everyone at the table. Here is what we had.
Seared Tuna with Tempura Jalapenos: It will be spicy. Seared Tuna was fresh, but I am not sure if Jalapenos go well with it. Also, there was lot of ponzu sauce.
Pot-stickers Meh... I would say avoid it, you do not go to restaurant like this for their pot-stickers. They didn't seem fresh and it seemed like they were adding them to our tasting menus cause they had bunch sitting around in the freezer.
Seared Yellow-tail: The fish was fresh and it was seared to perfect amount. Unlike the Tuna, they didn't over do it with sauce. Presentation was good to.
Oysters: They were not good. I do not like oysters drenched with sauce. Specially when its sweet and sour. Oysters are enjoyed with light lemon juice. That's it.
Short-Rib: Pièce de résistance of the meal. You will see lot of reviews mentioning this and that is with the best reason. It's the main highlight of this restaurant and they know it (~$20 for a rib). The meat falls of the bone and it practically dissolves in your mouth. The taste is exquisite. Some short ribs did have a lot of fat on it, but its up to personal preference. Some people prefer the flavors that fat adds to a meal. I personally don't enjoy it because it will add another mile of running to my daily cardio.
Over all this restaurant is not bad for the location it's in, but if you have a choice of going to other place then I would highly recommend picking something else. The short-rib is the main attraction, but its not fully worth the price when you get a short-rib full of fat and less meat. Also, service needs a bit of a work.
Average: 3.5/5 - Being a man of science I round it down to (3/5), so other or I strive for more perfection. :D
