Food was much too over-seasoned and was just thrown together without much care. We waited for about 30 mins. We were seated at the bar - the heat on our face was overwhelming. The moment we sat down we were given menus. The menus were so sticky and covered in a layer of grease. It felt very unhygienic.
We ordered the 48hr pork, shrimp burger and gyoza and two tall boys to deal with the radiating heat.
5 mins after we ordered, the 48 hour pork thrown together landed on our table. This was probably the only dish that was satisfactory. The pork was tender and shredded very thin. However the bowl was completely over-seasoned and drenched with a soysauce based sweet sauce. We couldn't taste anything but sauce.
Soonafter our food was further thrown together and the rest of our order arrived. The gyoza was mediocre and covered in grease. It was undercooked and had areas of raw flour.
The shrimp burger was probably the worst. The patty was tiny and 1/3 of the bun it came with. It was smothered in sauce and more random sauce that I couldn't taste anything but sauce. My hands were covered in a layer of oil. We left it after a few bites.
As I watched the chefs cook I noticed that every dish was just being drenched with layers of sauce over sauce. They were grilling really fatty pieces of pork belly and drenching it in oil (why? Its all pork fat already). Then they would douse it in more sauce.
To be honest, this was a far cry from any proper Japanese food. We were very disappointed.
