Oh where to start. I was in search of Gyoza. They have Gyoza...that is where it all goes south. This place has 3 stars for a reason. 3 stars is really really high if you look at the ONE STAR I gave it.
It's a flipping train wreck. It is what every failing restaurant show is trying to fix X10. Everything is wrong with this place.
The outside should tell you not to enter. It's a mess and unkempt. Three feet in the door should have told you to just walk away but I wanted Gyoza.
The inside is an even bigger train wreck of a mess. I think it used to be a seafood/beach restaurant. It's just dirty. A quick walk around and you can see fingerprints and dirt everywhere. The inside of the place has not been cleaned in a long time.
The tables are all covered in some type of fake leather material and are ugly as sin. There are piles of supplies all over the place like they can't figure out where to put anything and have run out of space. There is a back room that is filled with crap all the way to the ceiling.
The sushi bar looks dirty and if you look behind the bar you will see an even bigger mess. Just crap everywhere that does not belong. Everything feels broken and out of place. The bathrooms are not dirty but they are not clean either. You just don't get the feeling you should be in there and washing your hands is never going to make anything better.
The menu is a mile long. Way too long for anything in the back to be fresh. Needless to say the Gyoza was either steamed or deep fried. Sorry you can't do that. Gyoza is pan fried and then steamed. So this trip was to prove that I would never go here again. When you put "AUTHENTIC JAPANESE" on the menu then you had better know what that means. Nothing in there is "AUTHENTIC" anything.
The lack of customers to chair ratio should have been another indicator of how bad this was going to be. During a lunch rush in the middle of a business area they should be packed but sadly they are not. Every restaurant in the area is busy like crazy during lunch and there are 10 cars in the lot and about 10% of the chairs with butts in them. That is a bad sign.
I can't stress this place is a mess. If you think it's "OK" or "NOT THAT BAD" then you clearly don't know what clean is or how a restaurant should look and operate. They should be closed down and a deep cleaning done along with a huge reduction in the menu for starters.
These people should not be running a restaurant at all!
I could go on and on but will just advise to not go here and waste your money. Any place that discounts bugs laying around and replies on Yelp is not to be trusted.
They are making excuses. Take your $10 - $15 and go next door to the McDonald's...even if you threw away the McDonald's after you purchase, it would be a better option than eating here. I am trying to save you!
PS - For anyone who gave it 3 or more stars....shame on you!
