Service:
The owner is very friendly and welcoming, not so much the others. The owner introduced us to their daily specials for the pineapple season, but I saw the "special" items are actually the same price on the regular menu. The servers mostly stood behind the counter and would only walk around when you ask them to come over. When one server brought the bill, she immediately left, so I had to call her back to give her payment.
Food:
We ordered the soft shell crab and avocado burger ($14) and the seafood omurice ($13) on the lunch menu. I wasn't aware that the burger would have spicy tartar sauce in it as I didn't read the fine print, I think they should've put some hot peppers beside the item name. I can't eat anything spicy so the burger wasn't very pleasant. The soft shell crab is very crunchy and freshly made. There was only a few pieces of avocado in the middle, not very noticeable. The bun is not the best - I would prefer a softer bun. Overall, I would give 3.5/5 stars for the burger because I think if it wasn't for the spicy sauce, it would've been better.
The seafood omurice was not what I expected. First off, omurice translates into "rice omelette". When the rice came, there was an omelette on top of the rice. Okay that's fine as I have seen versions where you can cut the centre and the egg would wrap the rice. When I cut open the centre, the egg didn't flow out. It looks like scrambled eggs on top of the rice. The also have no egg taste (maybe egg creations?). The rice is just steamed rice with some peas, carrots, and corn. There is also some tomato sauce on the side with the seafood. The sauce was like an Asian version of tomato sauce of spaghetti - nothing special. The seafood included shrimp, clams, and octopus. The shrimp wasn't bad, but the clams were terrible. The clams were extremely overcooked - very chewy and had no taste. I can't say for the octopus as I don't like it in general. I think for $13 there should be a little more variety (ex. mussels, crab meat, fish). Overall 2/5 stars.
Overall, I didn't really feel any Japanese fusion taste at all. It's more like Chinese and Western fusion. This is probably a one-time thing for me.
