| - Went on a Friday night with my friend. We ordered to a bill totaling over $100 but sadly was definitely not worth it. I am not sure why this restaurant has a 4 star rating, I honestly believe it is made-up reviews. Let me provide and drop the truth for you.
$25 sushi dinner: (came with miso soup):
The sushi was mediocre, saddest part is that the rice they used for all their sushi/donburi dishes is not japanese rice... but lukewarm Chinese rice! Are you serious..? The rice was not even cooled down, appeared blazing hot from the rice cooker I have at home. My sushi was falling apart just from the lift from my chopsticks. Disappointing they were serving this at a sushi restaurant.
$25 sashimi dinner: (came with miso soup):
This dinner came with the pre-mentioned sad lukewarm Chinese rice (once again not japanese rice) The sashimi was average. Not writing home about this... so disappointed at this dish.
$10 soft shell crab and $8 deep friend tempura egg plant:
We ordered the appetizers first, but the chefs/waitress forgot about this dish, and only asked us if everything came after we finished our main course (the 2 dinners above). Instead of apologizing and giving us the appetizers for free, as it was hugely their mistake especially serving us it after the main course. Instead, I asked her to cancel the order (its obvious they forgot the appetizer, doesn't take 45mins to prepare), she told us that she will check. Came back and said, "oh sorry, we can't cancel now, the dish is almost ready) I Lol'ed after, since the dish came 30mins after. They really wanted us to pay for the over priced appetizers.
$10 ramen:
We also got the Ramen, a mistake.... It really tasted like instant noodles I make at home.. no joke.
$18 BBQ Eel donburi:
Another mistake to order. The dish came in a small plastic container box (really...?) we opened it to find that the BBQ eel only filled half of the box on top of the rice (what is with this picky size quantity?). Once again, it came with the disgusting lukewarm Chinese rice, not Japanese rice at all. Another disappointment.
Also, there were multiple times where the server was bringing us the bill and the debit card machine. Like really...? The time it took for them to prepare and cook the food took so long (especially the appetizers) that the servers thought we were done eating. It seemed like they really wanted us gone and needed the table. Like come on, gtfo and let us eat in peace.
To wrap up, I really am confused at the high rating others provided. When we went, it was truly disappointing, to the borderline of disgusting and sad. Total was over $100, of course no tips given (trying to kick us out with the bill like that, plus the aforementioned disappointments and forgetting our appetizers but still making us pay for it). They already got more than enough for tips through their over-priced cheap dishes.
Not coming back to here... you should avoid this place as well unless you want to spend a few hours of your pay down the drain.
