Went back to new generation recently after not having been back for about a year. I must say, food quality and atmosphere seems to have gone down. New gen used to be one of those rare chinese run places that actually had some table romance where they introduce and recommend food to you. Now it feels like most other chinese sushi places where they just throw down the food and go about their business.
They also hired a new teppanyaki chef who doesn't seem to cook the food as well or have the showmanship for teppanyaki cooking. The beef ribs used to be amazing off the teppanyaki grill because they would caramelize it with extra butter sauce, but now it's just meh. The new chef pumped out food fast and joked with some of the customers but it all felt like less of a show now and not really worth the extra money.
Food quality wise I feel like it has gotten worse. Not terrible by any means but definitely not as good as it used to be. The Kara age used to be juicy but now it's tiny and overcooked. The sushi slices they give you are smaller as well now (I know you can order more but it is a sign that they are cutting cost). Fusion roll is still great though.
New gen, you were awesome, but we've both changed and maybe it's time to move on.
