| - I was really looking forward to try this place but when I did, I really wasn't too impressed. Inside it looked nice and modern. They spent some time making the place inviting and tasteful which is nice. The place is huge but when I came in for weekday lunch, I was the only person in the restaurant.. Hmmm... I wonder why.
Lunch specials were just under $10 and you can choose either tempura, sushi, or sashimi. The Bento boxes has a lot to variety so if you like to sample many items, this would be a good choice. They have 2 shrimp and 7 vegetable tempura, and your choice of teriyaki or sashimi or sushi. It comes to be $16-21.
First off, taste the tea. Tea cup is really pretty, tea comes piping hot. And then I smell detergent on the cup and I no longer want to drink tea no more.
Miso soup came next. It was nice and hot. Perfect for a cold day. There was 2 pc of seaweed in it and no tofu. Hmm I usually get tofu...
Then came the 9 pc tempura - came out fresh and hot. Wonderful. Tempura sauce was lighter than what I like.
Then came the fried spring roll side dish. For whatever reason, they serve a fried spring roll cold. It was pretty bland.
While eating, pop music was playing in the background. Some of the songs had inappropriate lyrics. I don't think they are catering to high school students nearby because the price point for lunch is too high.. The students are all next door at Pizza Pizza. And the music definitely doesn't suit nearby workers on lunch break.
Overall, didn't really enjoy my dining experience. If I was craving Japanese and they are the only restaurant around, then I'd be back. But since there are several other options around, I think I'll be checking out other places.
Side note: service was fast and friendly. I was in and out of the restaurant within 25 minutes.
