| - Been to this place once before and it was to get some half-priced sushi and handrolls. Just found it alright but it obviously wasn't as fresh as it would be if I had dined-in. Then yesterday, we dined there for a girlfriend's birthday after another girlfriend had recommended the place. She was raving about their Japanese food items especially the sashimi which was actually very good. We had also ordered a couple of sushi and handrolls which were also good though the rice they had used seemed either a little overcooked or overwatered.
One of the most unique things about this place is the fact that they have Japanese, Thai and Italian food. Yes, they were all part of the AYCE menu. There were some "standard" items missing from the (Japanese) menu so that was a bit surprising. If you're like us and get fried scallops, grilled eggplant and beef with baby mushrooms, well, you won't find those here. Also for the price you pay (+$40 with a drink, tip & tax), you don't even get ice cream. What da!
I wish Yelp would allow us to give half stars because I'd definitely give them at least that. As much as I did enjoy their food, I do have to just keep my rating at 4 out of 5 stars for the above mentioned reasons. If I'm going to pay over $40, then I would at least expect some standard/basic menu items. The baked escargot somewhat made up for it but what about those who don't eat escargot? And seriously, man, what's with the lack of ice cream?! I love ice cream.
