| - THIS PLACE IS AN ABSOLUTE PISS-TAKE!
I really should have listened to Sarah Y's review: "ANYONE WHO THINKS THIS PLACE ROCKS IS SERIOUSLY DELUSIONAL" Amen.
What a horrible dinner. I'm not exaggerating when I say it is one of the worst dining experiences of my life.
When you walk in, Fin Izakaya definitely looks like it has great potential. The decor is really cool/unique. Kind of classy.
We went for dinner, were seated promptly (2 of us) and selected 4 items off the menu to share, figuring we could order a few more later on if it wasn't enough.
The food was absolutely ridiculously small portions. Really small portions and exuberant pricing for dishes with very simple/cheap ingredients. I can handle overpriced (sometimes) if the food is unique and delicious, but the crap served here was not worthy of high prices.
"Fresh vegetables with Moromi Miso with a sweet blend of barley grains and miso" ($5). This was essentially 3 carrot sticks, 4 slices of cabbage and 1 radish served with 1 teaspoon of some dipping sauces.
"Grilled eggplant with miso sauce" ($5). This was the only thing that was actually tasty. Too bad about the portion size - 6 thimble sized pieces of eggplant.
"Bonito Tataki w/ Crunchy Garlic - Seared bonito sashimi with garlic chips and citrus ponzu sauce". ($9.50) This was rancid. Really. The fish was fully cooked through (wtf?) instead of seared. We were given 4 minuscule slices, perhaps 1oz in total, served over some sauteed onion slices. It looked nothing like the photo, we didn't even finish eating it because the fish tasted off/rotten.
"Ribeye beef sukiyaki -Thinly sliced beef and vegetables cooked in house made sukiyaki sauce" ($12.50) Note if you want rice/udon you have to pay $5 extra?!!?! wtf? Essentially, for $12.50, we got 2oz of beef and some cabbage and onions simmering in a tiny pot of beefy flavoured broth.
At this point we were still freaking starving, but realized we would probably have to order another $60-$80 worth of food to even feel somewhat satiated. We saw some other tables being served other tiny amounts and thought better of ordering more. Edamame at this place ($3.50) gets you about 10 pods...seriously.
The food also took ages to come out, we waited 20 mins after our other dishes for the hot pot to arrive. Staff was friendly but portrayed an air of ignorance when food was brought out in ridiculous small portions and customers looked perturbed.
They also f*cked up our bill. Oh, but you get free FROZEN GRAPES (4 of them!!!) as a treat, comes with the bill.
This was the first time ever in my life that I actually had to leave a restaurant and immediately go elsewhere for another entire meal because I was so hungry.
