| - My friend and I followed the wave of hype and went to this "unique concept of a sake & handroll bar". The less than impressive review on here didn't deter us because we of course, we prefer to judge for ourselves.
The place itself is beautiful. They describe it as a futuristic warm Japanese setting and it felt as such. We were sat under the tree which was perfect.
Now, personnally, I came here with not-too-high expectations as I didn't want to be disappointed. However, it is disappointing that they didn't exactly surpass my expectations either. The food was ok, nothing to write home about but I'm not gonna focus on just the food because after all it's a bar...(?)
For drinks, we took cocktails and the sake tasting platter. The cocktails were alright, not bad but not excellent either. The tasting platter however.... for the price I expected a little more, in quantity and in delivery. All we got was "this is the hot sake, this is the filtered and this is the unfiltered" which, quite honestly, was obvious if u just touch the cups and look LOL!!!! They should train their staff a bit more to tell us more what exactly we are tasting.
This place definitely has potential. I would hate to see it sizzle away because of lack of oomph, originality and quality in service. I would recommend this place to someone who is a sake enthusiast because their sake list seems quite nice but personally I wouldn't go out of my way to come back if it stays this way.
