| - We were excited to try this place after the good reviews. By the time we left, we were disappointed in our experience and confused by the great reviews.
We went on a Saturday night and it was practically empty. In retrospect, we should have seen that as a sign.
The service was the biggest redeeming quality. They were very friendly, accommodating, and prompt. 5 stars.
The ambience was fine. It was clean and comfortable enough, but nothing "wow" about it. 4 stars.
The food. I don't know what to say other than it just wasn't good. We shared edamame to start, and even that wasn't good. It tasted dried out; perhaps it had been frozen and reheated? We didn't finish it.
I got the butterscotch pork entree (how could I not, after all the good reviews on it?) and couldn't eat more than a few bites. Seriously. The meat was very fatty and I simply didn't like the flavor of the sauce. I was most excited about the wasabi mashed potatoes, but I could barely taste any wasabi, and the potatoes themselves weren't good enough to make up for the lack of flavor.
I can't remember specifically what my husband got, but it was a noodle dish with bbq pork and dry yellow curry in it. Surprisingly low on flavor, and the texture of the pork was not appetizing at all.
Honestly, the food was 1 star. We left hungry, and went to get pizza after leaving.
