| - Honestly 3.5, but I'm trying to be fair to this place since we weren't being adventurous enough and didn't really try anything that exciting! Perhaps it's a true 4 star if you like tofu, urchin, etc. I'll preface this by saying I do truly hate tofu, so I'm going to wait to try this famous tofu another time when I have a tofu lover in-tow. I couldn't justify spending the money on it if it turned out to taste like normal tofu!
Yellowtail carpaccio - decent, but for $11 I wasn't super impressed. It tasted fresh, but it wasn't melt in your mouth amazing or anything.
Pork Cheek - again ,pretty good, but I much prefer pork belly myself. We ordered 1 order for 2 of us and weren't all that anxious to get another one.
Lamb chop - Very tasty. Would I come back here just for this lamb chop? No, but I can say it was prepared perfectly.
Duck - I think this may have been my favorite. Sad there were only 3 tiny bites on it.
Kobe with garlic - fiance's fav. I've had better kobe elsewhere, but it did taste good.
Foie gras - I do LOVE foie gras, so I loved this.. but.... it doesn't compare to the interesting creative foie gras preparations I've had at Ogden, Nobu, etc. Where's my peanut foam or pomegranate jelly? It was well prepared, but I can say that about 90% of the foie gras I've eaten in my life. With a cut this fatty you need acid or a starch to cut it, but this was just fat on a plate.
We wanted to try the potato-corn thingy, but they were out.
Cost: $60 for 2 of us, we definitely left still hungry. Definitely be sure to ask the price on the specials - most of the ones we were considering were $18+++.
