| - I had been wanting to try this place for so long. It had everything I thought would make for a good meal- veggies, noodles, soupiness- but I left very disappointed.
We started off with a cucumber roll and that was a hot mess. It was sloppily put together and not fresh at all. If this is how they treat a cucumber, I don't want to know how they treat the fish.
Next we ordered two Vegetarian Delights, I had the shabu shabu and my husband had the sukiyaki. Note to vegetarians: when I see "vegetarian" written somewhere, like a dummy I assume it's ok. Thankfully at the last minute I asked about it and I was told they use bonito in the broth and sauce. If you don't eat fish, ask to leave out the bonito.
Well, basically all I got was water and a piece of seaweed. I tried to put some of the condiments that are provided in the broth to liven it up, but gave up after my tenth tablespoon of soy sauce. If you are going to go with the veggie, be prepared for zero flavor. In the end, I ended up eating some plain boiled vegetables.
My husband's dinner was a little better since his veggies were sautéed in sauce. The downside was that I watched our server pour half a bottle of soy sauce in his pot. I hope you like sodium!
For all the non-vegetarians, I'm sure this place is good.
For all the vegetarians, you might want to consider something else.
Overall, a fun experience to try once but it takes forever for small results. Give me a giant bowl of ramen any day.
