I hate to leave a bad review but this one I had to...because I got really sick from eating bad sushi!
I've been meaning to try this place since it's very close to my work and I love Japanese and Thai food so I couldn't wait to try. It's nicely decorated with modern touch. So it was a good start! Can't complain anything about the atmosphere and ambiance. I took my gf during lunch and there were only 2 tables occupied, so they weren't busy at all. That should've been my first hint not to order anything raw but I was craving sushi. My gf ordered the salmon terriyaki bento and I got the sushi bento. My gf frowned as soon as she took the first bite. The salmon had to be frozen since it was so chewy and had that "old" fish smell to it. Onto my food...my 5 nigris weren't bad at first except the rice were undercooked. We also had their crepe cake desert since it looked so appertizing but the taste wasn't impressive at all. I bought the groupon and wanted to use it but the waitress said we can't use groupon for any lunch special. Little disappointed but no big deal. I'll come back and use it for something later, I thought.
I started to feel nauseated that night and sure enough, had to make many trips to the toilet! X( Luckily I got over it without much more problems other than feeling lethargic for couple days.
I really like their concept of modernizing Japanese/Thai fusion food but the execution isn't just there! The service was nice and the waitress seemed to be the owner, who wanted to fullfill the American Dream. I do wish the best and wish they can improve and fix things quickly! Otherwise, I'm afraid this place won't be around too long. Wish I can call Ramsey for them....Wish you well Taiga!
