| - My friends and I were contemplating between Terroni and Nami (the restaurant with the black exterior, next to Terroni). We decided to go for Japanese and ended up at Nami, which I kinda regret.
After reading over the menu, we decided to order a bunch of items for the four of us to share. We started with the Kaiso salad - Three different kinds of seaweed, served with crab leg, thinly sliced cucumber and house dressing ($8.95). This isn't the typical seaweed salad you get at most other Japanese restaurants. It came with 3 different kinds of seaweed and really lacked flavour (even with the house dressing). I much prefer the regular seaweed salad over this. The crab leg also didn't really add much to the dish.
The next dish we ordered was the Beef sashimi - New York Strip (US Black Angus) seared to perfection, then sliced paper thin. Served with ponzu sauce and ground radish ($10.50). When it came, I didn't think it looked very appetizing...nor did the taste really change my mind. It tasted okay with the ponzu sauce, but overall just an okay dish.
We also ordered the Nasudengaku - Deep fried eggplant topped with chef's own sweet miso sauce ($8.95). Finally, a dish I really enjoyed! The skin was crispy on the outside and the sweet miso sauce was amazing. However, at 9 bucks, it was a little steep for two pieces of eggplant.
Since we also wanted to try a roll, we decided on the Spider roll - Deep fried soft shell crab with avocado, mayonnaise, cucumber and flying fish roe ($17), which came with 8 pieces. It was pretty tasty, but I found it to be a bit overpriced.
Since one of my friends wanted to try one of the hot pots, we ordered the Sukiyaki hot pot - Thinly sliced US Black Angus cooked in a sweet soy sauce based soup with hakusai cabbage, green onions, spinach, shiitake and enoki mushrooms, tofu and udon noodles. Served with raw egg for dipping. The price of this is $33 per person (with a minimum order of two people, and orders have to be taken before 10:15pm). Since we had ordered several other dishes, we requested two servings ($66). It was my first time trying sukiyaki, and I really enjoyed it! The sweet soy sauce was nice and gave the food a great flavour. However, for $66, we didn't get very much food, and again felt it was overpriced.
Overall, I wasn't very impressed. I felt for the most part, the food was overpriced. For those prices, I expected much better.
