Sorry fellow yelpers, not a huge fan of this place.
After reading so many above average reviews and also having a close friend suggesting this place to me, I decided to try it for myself.
Its a given this place is pretty small and makes waiting for a table that much more ridiculous. It gets pretty intimate whenever someone enters or tries to leave the restaurant. (a little annoying too)
When I finally did get a seat (outside aisle seat) after 5 mins I got elbowed in the head by this dude sitting beside me leaving and putting on his jacket. (maybe this contributed to my bad experience) Buddy didnt even apologize but being the gentleman I am I just let it pass. (that mofo!)
While we were deciding on what to order I tend to always order the same thing If im trying a Japanese place for the first time. I ordered the sashimi deluxe dinner and an Oyako-don. It is pretty hard to screw up an Oyako don, its like screwing up a pizza) but this place somehow managed to do it. The people beside me looked at what I was eating (They looked like first timers too) and I gave my honest opinion. (Rated 18+) PG version = "Dont order this!"
The Sashimi Deluxe dinner was more like a sashimi appetizer.. it was definately not worth the price. (Mind you Im not cheap, I pay the same price for a normal sashimi dinner at Fune and wont complain about it.) So I wasnt too impressed about this dish.
Dont really comment on the washroom but I feel I should for this place. Its small as heck! Its like being in jail or something. Not a great experience.
And whats with this eclectic taste for interior decor. Japanese Geisha dolls with pictures of Lord of the Rings characters scattered everywhere. C'mon now!
This place will get 0.9 stars from me but they do not have a decimal place on the rating system.
My advance apologies to the owners and people that like this place.
