| - We came here for a birthday dinner on a Saturday night, and made reservations 3 weeks in advance for the Aoyama course.
The restaurant was a bit hidden to find, and upon arriving, we were greeted by a kind woman who showed us our table, which wasn't too far from the door. Our reservations was at 7 and all the tables were occupied. My guess the restaurant could only hold around 25 people at most. Although, I believe they expanded the restaurant, but it wasn't side by side, it seemed like it was on the other side of the restaurant (not too sure, because every time someone came in and said that they made reservations, the waitress would go outside with them and point them out to the right direction).
Time for the food and it's corresponding rating:
1) the seaweed salad - it came in a martini glass with a mixture of seaweed and lettuce, a piece of white cucumber, a piece of crab meat and seasoned with a light dressing. I love seaweed in general and the dressing was light and not too creamy. I wish it came in a bigger portion. 9/10
2) the fluke fish - each slice of fish was garnished with some green onions and flying fish roe and drenched in soy sauce. This dish was way too salty for me. 6/10
3) a plate of sashimi - the plate comes with 3 slices of salmon, red tuna and white tuna. And one shrimp. I'm not a fan of raw fish, but if I had to choose, tuna and salmon would be the one raw fish going into my stomach. Apparently, they were not fish, but I couldn't tell...7/10
4) fried lobster tail - this was definitely the one thing that caught my eyes on the menu. When it arrived in front of me, it smelled and looked amazing. However, i think it was way too over cooked. The meat was too chewy and tough to eat, which then caused me to bloat afterwards. Again, I was told it was not fresh...7/10
5) tempura and soup - another plate of fried food came right after, a variety of fried tempuras - 3 pieces of shrimps. 1 piece of yam, green bean and egg plant. This was just too much for one person to finish. I like tempura but I don't love it. Due to the amount of oil used to fry and the grease stain they left behind on the paper while waiting to be eaten in the basket, my stomach could only intake 3 tempuras. 6/10
This also came with a soup filled in a teapot. The soup had a piece of shrimp and ginger in it. I'm guessing this was to wash down all the greasiness. I wasn't a big fan of the soup as it was too gingery for my liking but it was nice to clean my palette. 6/10
6) another plate of sashimi - as mentioned above, I'm not a fan of raw fish. More tuna was served and an uni sushi was added to the plate. At this point, I was extremely full and couldn't finish all the sashimi on my plate. I would have rather they served us something else other than sashimi. 6/10
7) last but not least, the dessert - if you choose the Aoyama course, you have the choice of anything off the dessert menu otherwise you are stuck with a scoop of green tea ice cream. Because we got the Aoyama course, we all went for the mochi - Black Sesame. I wasn't impressed, the glutinous rice was very thin and the ice cream was just okay. I've had better ones before. 6/10
