| - Went here the other night with some friends. We had been hearing a lot about it. Some were saying it was AYCE and Korean BBQ combined together. Unfortunately, we found that wasn't really the case and became quite disappointed by the false rumor we had heard. Despite this, I'm not going to write a review based around the claim that this was Sushi + Korean BBQ since that's not really fair to the restaurant.
We had a variety of foods during this visit, from nigiri and rolls, to Ramen and Yakitori on the back of the menu. Overall, everything tasted good with a few exceptions. Based on what I had though, I couldn't point out anything spectacular. Doh is pretty average with the benefit of having a menu with a lot of variety.
Below I list a few issues I had overall:
- Got the bacon wrapped asparagus yakitori. The bacon wasn't very crispy, which my friend complained about, but I don't mind a soft bacon personally. My biggest beef with the asparagus was the graininess of 2 out of 3 of the pieces. I seriously had to spit it out into my napkin because I couldn't bear having it in my mouth anymore. This was truly a disappointment since I freakin' LOVE asparagus.
- I wanted to order a drink on the menu called, "The Sparky Ginger". In case this item was not available for the day, I had a few backups in mind. When the waitress came around, she informed me that all the drinks I had chosen were no longer being served at the restaurant. Another big disappointment. I ended up not getting a drink in the end. Please update your menus or at least put tape over items not available!
- My final qualm was the ramen. My friend had ordered a bowl of seafood ramen. It was quite large, so no problem there, but it tasted like instant, packaged ramen. The broth was good, so kudos to them making one of the best instant ramens I've had, BUT I still would have preferred something a little more authentic.
OVERALL, the restaurant is good, but there are better ones, especially in the nearby area and for the price range. The only reason I would come here is if I were looking for a lot of variety and was really in the mood for a lot of appetizers with my sushi.
