| - One word best describes this place: overpriced.
I had the miso soup, the Seafood Yaki Soba, mint lemonade, and shrimp tempura, and our table split a Lotus on Fire roll.
The Lotus on Fire roll was great. Spicy and tasty. Can't complain there. The mint lemonade was also a nice tasty surprise.
There really wasn't much else beyond that. The Yaki Soba was bland, and the calamari was overcooked and rubbery. The shrimp tempura was tasteless, and the sauce that came with it had no flavor. And the miso soup was weak.
One of my colleagues ordered a plate of pickled veggies (I forgot what the dish was called). It was mostly a pile of boring dill pickles, and a small spattering of other, more interesting vegetables. What a ripoff.
Our bill? $25 apiece. A little ridiculous considering the quality of food.
They seem to have a motif at Tempe Marketplace: it fits right in with its neighbors, Lucille's and Maria Maria, with its artsy-fartsy decor and disappointing, overpriced food.
