I am sad to only give it 2 stars. Those 2 stars are acknowledged to the service. The food lost the rest.
Ordered:
- Gyu Carpaccio - no stars (too thick and super chewy that night)
- Salmon Tataki - 3 stars, fresh and I love the crispy bits on top for that crunchy texture
- Gindara - black cod was super fatty and butter-y. Grilled well
- Okonomiyaki - squid pancake, it was tasty and filling
- Karubi - Grilled beef short ribs, slices were too thin, but grilled well
Overall the food didn't really make it to my foodie black book. But with that said, the service was super kind and forgiving, and the space (albeit new) is better than any of the other restaurants downtown.
I'd come back only for the ambiance and its close proximity to my home.
