I've been here 2 times already. The first time was good enough for me to return. The second time was disappointing.
The first time I sat in a booth and order sushi and a meal off the menu. Eel and avocado is my favorite sushi, yummy! I ordered the teriyaki steak and it was cooked perfect (medium well).
Last night we re-visited Japan 49 and took my parents. We sat at the hibachi table and the wait was not long before the show began. The food was prepared properly yet it lacked flavor. As a person who does not salt their food, I salted my entire meal which added a quick note of flavor. I would have preferred the flavor of onion, garlic, etc. Our sushi was awesome again!
We were all disappointed that the "shrimp" sauce is very watery and the ginger sauce on the salad and for the meal was horrible. I couldn't eat it. :(
Lastly, our entire table (my family and another family) were quite surprised by the inexperience of our server. He had the most blank face I've ever seen. He took our order wice! When he brought our bill back to the table he had the guests' pick out their bill/credit card from the pile he had in his hand.
