I am very picky when it comes to trying new Japanese restaurants unless the reviews are at least above average. We were super hungry and decided to give this place a try because it was close by. We got here just before 6pm so we beat the dinner rush and was immediately seated.
The restaurant seemed really nice but wasn't sure if it was more focused on the the ambience or just having too many options on the menu. I was amazed with the amount of food items that they had ranging from izakaya, sushi items, korean dishes and specializing in udon. Usually when there are too many things going on, it's hard to focus on making the common items good.
Okay so after scanning the menu for like 3 minutes, we decided to order our usual: sashimi platter, caterpillar roll, seaweed salad and miso soup. I was craving eel so I figured the caterpillar roll would be good for the price it was..$17. But after taking the first bite, it was probably the worst roll i've had! There was barely any unagi, I mean this is usually why the roll is more expensive and the roll was just too big so it was falling apart. Now onto the sashimi platter $44 for like small platter of 40 but it seemed more like 60pcs because they were cut so big and thick...however the worst part was the way it was cut..im used to sashimi being cut in nice thin slices. There's a certain technique that a good sushi chef uses when it comes to slicing the fish. The sashimi here were cut into like squares...it just makes the texture different and unusual to eat. The sashimi also wasn't as fresh either. So for the price we paid almost at $100 it was totally not worth it and this rating is solely based on the food because the service was decent.
