| - Stopped in last night for a date night with my husband. We happened to get there during happy hour which was good because if we had paid full price for the food this review would probably be a zero. I have to start by saying this review is so low because of the quality of the food, it is has nothing to do with the servers. They were okay (although I did have to flag a different person to get us more water.) We ordered a variety of nigiri, sushi rolls, and appetizers. We had the salmon nigiri (raw fish on top of rice), tuna nigiri, California roll, spicy tuna roll, rainbow roll, pot stickers, and the Japanese fried chicken. The sushi honestly was NOT very good. The rice was hard and the sushi was very bland. Maybe they leave off the wasabi for "Americans," but if sushi has been prepared correctly it should have flavor and should not need to have wasabi added. Having lived in Japan for 4 years maybe I am more finicky than most but this sushi was honestly worse than some I have gotten at a grocery store that I paid significantly less for. As for the appetizers we got, the first order of pot stickers was good (maybe a little on the luke warm side), but much better than the second order we received which had the entire outside a dark golden brown and crunchy. (Obviously cooked too long). The Japanese fried chicken, how to start. First off sending out chicken chunks with kimchi is NOT Japanese fried chicken. Japanese fried chicken would be tonkatsu, not this horrible Americanize chicken chunks with a KOREAN side. Seriously get your Asian condiments correct. Next we actually had to send the chicken back to the kitchen and tell them to forget it. It was hard, cold, and DRY. So dry in fact I had to drink water to swallow the bite I took. For a place this pricey you would expect MUCH better food. You could tell the place is popular as it was packed. Maybe we just got a crappy kitchen staff on our visit, but we won't be wasting our time or money back at this place. There are much better options around, some even just across the street.
