| - A sure fire disappointment. We came here on a Friday evening for dinner thanks to the great yelp reviews and I must say, it was a disappointment. I liked the fact that you can bring your own booze/liquor but I realized that was the case due to the fact that they don't have a liquor license as yet. The restaurant is HOT. I'm not sure if it's because of the open kitchen or because they don't have air conditioning, but dress light!
Let's start out with our server. He seemed really knowledgable about the items served at the restaurant. But when I asked him for suggestions, he advised me to look away from the menu and into their specials board. He said himself that people don't come in and order off the menu. They come in for what they have on their specials board. So right off the bat, I didn't like the fact that he essentially said nothing on the menu was great and I should stick with specials. Either way, there were some staples on the menu that sounded like must haves. Rock shrimp tempura, tacos, yakisoba, salmon/tuna chips. Unfortunately, I felt everything was just eh.
Rock shrimp-bland. Needed sriracha to actually have some flavor.
Tacos-very bland. I was almost embarrassed asking for soy sauce. But it wasn't just me, my whole table asked me to pass some down.
Yakisoba-Decent. But on the sweeter side. The flavor wasn't something I'd come back for.
Salmon/Tuna chips-Fishy and missing basic seasoning.
We all left full, and unlike others, I didn't think the prices were unreasonable. I think they were fair. But I just feel that this restaurant has so much potential, but was a big let down in their fish quality, flavors, and overall experience.
On a side note, my friends really enjoyed the bone marrow. But it's not my cup of tea.
