  • It pains me to write this, but in order to really be true to the spirit of Yelp! I have to. We had a really large group tonight, so that may have also played a part, but this review is basically for the past 3-4 times we've been. Traditionally, what has set this place apart is the quality of their ingredients and the overwhelmingly incredible flavors that they have been able to achieve with simplicity and traditional Japanese techniques. Tonight, well, it was pretty mediocre. We arrived as a group of 9 - 6 adults and 3 fairly young kids, and the hostess sort of rolled her eyes at that. Until today, we were always greeted with a smile and a genuine sense that they were happy to see us. We were seated fairly quickly, though, so we just let that go. Ordering wasn't too bad - we all wrote out what we wanted and didn't make it hard on our server by going round and round. We had one list, and everything came as ordered. Here's where it gets a little sad for me - I've written several reviews of this place before and it's sad for me to say that I think that the quality of the ingredients has dipped a bit. The fish was a bit "mealy" these past few times, and the availability of unique off-menu specials like fresh uni is pretty much a rare thing. It wasn't bad, but it was just average. That's a big letdown for me. This area is a bit of a haul for us, it's BYOB, and parking stinks - we have always overlooked these inconveniences because of the amazing quality and service the extra effort (and price) provided. It just wasn't there these past few times. Oh yes, the gyozas and chicken kara-age were pretty good; as was the beef negimaki. It's just that the rest seemed so diminished from what we've had before. As we left, we heard the staff apologize to some folks waiting for a table, saying that "unfortunately the big party that just left took much longer than normal." I guess our almost $300 check wasn't worth it to them. Oh well - it will definitely be a while before we go back to see if things have changed. Maybe other folks can take advantage of us not taking up space.
