| - I have been wanting to try this new place for awhile now, today I finally got a reservation for four. We were seated quickly had an amazing server that was attentive and always coming to check on us, refilling our drinks to changing our plates. When I first walked in the door, it reminded me of a Korean restaurant the smell and the small BBQ pit in the middle of each table and each table has a selection of three sauces Sweet Soy, Ponzu & Spicy (wish they had more unique sauces).
We were overwhelmed by their menu selections so we decided to order a party combo 'Samurai for 4' then added a few extra dishes. Pork Toro, Duck Breast, Sweet Onions, Spinach Garlic & Fried Bacon Chips. The Harami Miso Steak was really good flavorful and the Miso really works with it. The Duck Breast was not that great no flavor to it. The best dishes were the Harami Steak, Chicken Thigh Basil, Filet Mignon, Kalbi Short Ribs, Garlic Shrimp, Pork Belly & Garlic Noodles. The Veggies I had issues with, the eggplant had no marinade so it was really dry and almost chewy, The Spinach Garlic was a joke, there were so little of it that only 2.....2 people got to try it. They both got so little themselves it was not even a tablespoon each. The onions you have to pay for which I think it should be included in the meat dishes. At this point I thought it was better at a Korean Restaurant cause they always throw in onions and mushrooms. The only differences between the two culture foods is the selection of meats and veggies. The total cost for 4 people was $45/pp with no alcoholic drinks and no desserts, all 4 of us had sodas with free refills. This is a great place for socialising with friends and just relaxing and having a good time. This place is very popular with the young office crowd. Lunch is always packed, reservation is strongly suggested. Overall I would rate this place a 3/5. Again great hang out but can be pricey. Keep in mind this is a tapas restaurant.
