Located in the restaurant hub of Baldwin Village this place has already its work cut out for it. The decor stands out from other places in the area and has a modern take.
The menu was a bit surprising as it almost equally represented Korean and Japanese fare.
Anyway we were starving from our earlier futile attempt to secure a spot in our first choice for Japanese food.
We settled for the following
Sushi Combo 1, Narita, and Nagoya set menu.
Narita and Nagoya came with wakame salad which had nice presentation. Miso soup was OK better than the watered down version one gets usually.
The main looked OK nothing special just what one gets at your corner Sushi place.
The tempura was actually cold! one surprising item was avocado tempura (I haven't had it before though was surprised by the result in a good way)
Sashimi was OK and sushi was actually below average with the rice being very dry.
My fellow diner commented its just your run of a mill stuff for the chicken teriyaki.
The advertised hand made ice cream though good was minuscule portion (more of a palate cleanser) .
Beer selection is below average as well.
2.5 stars max.
