| - Unimpressed. Stopped by with a Groupon. The owner seemed disappointed about that -- I don't understand why some merchants act like this. No one holds a gun to these peoples' heads and demands that they run a Groupon. The primary reason merchants run deals like Groupon and Living Social, is not for retention of existing customers, it's for new customer acquisition. So acting bummed when a new customer presents a deal coupon, really defeats the purpose. I walked in and told you I had a Groupon and you give me a "really?" face. Not off to an exciting start already.
A "sake bomber" was included in the Groupon offer but, unlike most other Japanese places that feature bombers in their deals, you cannot choose the beer. All you get is Bud Light -- seriously. Way to put your best foot forward.
The menu is rather limited. Although I appreciate their generous use of avocado, much of the menu seems to be made up of the same ingredients, combined in different ways - imitation crab, an overly-mayonnaised aioli sauce, something fried with too much soggy breading, and cream cheese.
Speaking of crab, if you are going to use imitation crab, then spell it "krab" on the menu, like other places do. I think it is misleading/mislabeling to do otherwise. If you use the word "krab" it is crystal clear to the customer, and we don't have to ask and then be disappointed to learn that the crab is actually fish.
Overall, an uninspiring experience.
