| - Visited for dinner on a Saturday night. Ordered the shrimp/vegetable tempura as an appetizer, a couple of sushi rolls (shrimp tempura and a salmon roll), and the beef Singapore rice noodle, along with a 10 oz vase of saki.
What we learned is that it might be better to order their Chinese as the Singapore noodle was very good, but the Japanese side was lacking.
The sushi rolls were those really large ones where you can't fit the darn thing into your mouth, so it falls apart. Can get by that if it's delish, but it wasn't delish, just average. The tempura was made in used oil, you could smell and taste that immediately. The texture and shrimp/veggies themselves were good, but that old oil flavor tainted it all.
The saki got cold fast, but maybe we just need to be quicker saki drinkers, ha. No points deducted for that.
It's nice inside, very roomy and like everyone else has said, has that nightclub look. Service was great. The problem just seems to be that they are trying to be more than what they should. Stick with being a Chinese restaurant and they probably will do well. Try to be a Japanese restaurant, and you're near the bottom of the Madison list.
