Had dinner at Japon with my family on a Friday night in November.
It was quiet for a Friday night. The decor is very nice. The tables are rather small and narrow. Because of their design, when they put 2 tables together is doesn't make for a smooth or large enough surface to put the serving plates on. The cheap wooden chop sticks also clash with the refined decor.
The service was sweet and all smiles. There was a significant mix up in our order however that turned out in our favor.
We ordered miso soup, Gyoza (chicken and vegetable dumplings) and shitake mushrooms for entrees. They ranged from good (shitakes) to excellent (miso and gyoza).
We ordered teriaki rib steak and an assortment of sushis as main courses. The rib steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection. It came with white rice and various vegetables. The entire dish was fantastic.
We also ordered various traditional makis and sushis. They were all excellent. The white tuna sashimi melted in your mouth and had a buttery texture. The tuna and salmon on the sushi was not of the best quality but it was still very good.
The kitchen was excruciatingly slow however. The entrees came after about 25 min. (which is not too bad) but we had to wait another 40 or 50 min. for the sushi and steak to come after we finished our entrees. When they finally did, there was only half of the sushi order. They brought a second platter about 15 min. later but it was the wrong order. They finally brought the right one about 5 min. later. That's when we got the 9 pieces of sashimi we had not ordered. We told the waitress. She checked our order, realized we had not ordered them and offered them free of charge :)). That made up for the slow service.
All and all it was a good experience. I would recommend this place and go back again.
