Meh, just meh. It gets a bonus star for ambiance and service. I was cautiously optimistic about trying this place-the reviews were pretty hit or miss but everything looks so yummy! And sounds so yummy! And I love all things noodles, rice, sushi, dumplings-how on earth could this place disappoint? Well it sure did. Nothing was bad but nothing was great. Everything just kinda missed the mark for me. Food was cooked pretty well (shared a few of the small plates) and the tuna/avocado roll was fresh but the overall flavors just lacked that certain something that makes me want to come back. And as others have noted-waaaayyy overpriced. That was easily the least satisfying $75 meal (for two...and we didn't eat that much. We had planned on ordering more but just didn't after being unimpressed. But how on earth we dropped $75, I don't have a clue).
My bf is keen on coming back (maybe because we just booked a trip to Tokyo and he loved the lanterns?) to try the ramen or other large plates but without his enthusiasm, I doubt I'd return. Well, maybe to sit in the open air section on a warm summer's night.
