| - We came here because of convenience. Despite the less than stellar reviews, and because of the frigid temperatures outside, a colleague and I came here for lunch because it was a convenient option accessible via the underground PATH and we didn't want to walk outside (not in the snow, anyway!) It's located right beside the Scotia Plaza Winners, and across from Mio Ristobar and Cafe.
We arrived for our 12:00 PM reservation and were seated right away. Note that they only have 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM reservations during lunchtime (on the hour, every hour).
On the whole, the experience was average. I feel like people use this place as a venue for business lunches out of convenience, and not because the food is great (because it's not). We ordered two bento boxes (A and B), and the chicken fried karaage appetizer. The karaage was really chewy and felt undercooked. The bento boxes were fine but nothing spectacular - the only highlight was probably the beef in Bento Box B, as I was surprised at how flavourful the beef actually was. Not a bad option.
Overall, it isn't my top choice in the area, but if you're looking for convenience in the Financial District, specifically within the PATH system, this is a reliable, reasonably priced option.
For two people, with tax and tip, we paid almost and approximately $50.00.
