| - I often get dragged here every few weeks with coworkers since it is close to my work. I have not been impressed one time.
I got to admit the inside is uniquely decorated, but I dislike almost everything else about this restaurant. To start, the waiters are really rude and arrogant. They all seem to have this pompous flair to them and I don't know why. It most certainly does not make a good server. They seem to act disgusted almost every time you ask them for something, and are neglectful of your table way more often that not. It's not surprising for them to forget your table completely... The owner is also very arrogant, and acts sickeningly (and fake-ly) nice as she wanders aimlessly around the restaurant.
The food is alright, but most is very underwhelming to me. The food is not very authentic, (aside from the sushi) and is more of an Americanized Asian restaurant (much like P.F. Changs), and I tend to hate those types of restaurants. When I want Asian food, I want REAL Asian food. Not crappy American creations labeled as Chinese food.
It's pretty expensive too. Way overpriced in my opinion. There is a $10 lunch buffet, but there are often only 4 entrees to choose from, and not much else in the ways of other food. Fried and white rice? Usually two plates of generic (and really cheap) sushi? Totally not worth $10 at all. Order from the menu for lunch and you are looking at paying over $10.
Dinner is even worse. While I only went once for dinner, and usually end up here for the lunch buffet, the time I did go for dinner was terrible. The menu is almost set up like a gourmet restaurant, as there's not a big selection at all, and most meals cost around $20. O_O The worst part is, the entrees come out on huge plates with the tiniest bit of food in the middle. They call it New Age Dining but I call it "I just got seriously ripped off"
I ordered the salmon dish. It was $21 I think. Ridiculous, I know. Well, it came out raw in the middle. I sent it back, 10 minutes later it comes back, and still raw. I had to send it back twice and even after the third time it came back it did not taste right to me. And like I said, it was the tiniest portion ever. It was maybe a 6oz salmon filet on a plate garnished with sauce next to like a 1/4 cup of rice.... it really is pitiful. My friend's entrees were similarly scarce looking.
I really don't know how this place gets so packed when it is so expensive and the food is not that good. It's touted as a huge date spot as well, but I'm surprised most stomach up the huge entry cost. I hear the sushi is great but I never had anything other than the stuff they put out on the lunch buffet and it was terrible. It seems expensive too like everything else. Some praise the $1 sushi night, but that's per piece and personally to me that seems like a high price as well....
I would stay away if I were you, I often even find myself backing out of lunch with my coworkers simply because I can not stand this restaurant any more.
