Visited Fri Oct 7 for dinner
My date had visited before, they changed their menu earlier this year.
Pros
The lighting is actualy quite good, it's not as dark as mentioned in previous reviews.
The music was not that loud, maybe because it was early in the night.
Karage - about 10 pieces of fried chicken it was crispy and tasty
Hako salmon - Very unique dish that is torched, they raised the price from $15 to now $17
Buta burrito - a sushi burrito for $8 is a great price, try one if you haven't yet.
Place was half-full, no lineups.
Cons
Parking is tough in this area.
The big sign at the front is really bright for customer eyes.
I figured out why the front entrance doesn't look inviting, it's a big wood door. Most restaurants have a glass door so guests can see inside.
The semi name change in late 2015 didn't really help to improve the restaurant's reputation. Keep the same name so that guests can get to know you guys.
Damage - $32 pre-tip
Pro-tip - There are 2 or 3 private booths for dining
