The food was overpriced for the portion sizes...maybe the happy hour specials are a little too happy? I dunno. I had the walleye bun ($4) and the chickpea gyoza-dumplings ($6). I made my own sauce at the counter of hot sauce, soy sauce, and some of the pepper powder/flakes, and with my sauce the gyoza were quite tasty. I thought the food was good, not outstanding, but that the prices were high. If my tiny piece of fried fish on a flat biscuit was $3 I would've been ok with it. It's $2 during happy hour, and that's a great deal. Presentation was good though.
I like the way the place looks...I feel like I'm in a science lab. Science labs are a comfort zone for me. I like the metal stools, I like the counter that looks over the street...I was able to watch people while I ate.
I was unimpressed with the service. The hipster waitress with her face piercings was lovely to look at, but seemed confused that she was supposed to wait on me. "Are you going to order food or are you just looking?" um...this is a restaurant...I came here to eat. "Here." when she sat my food down. When I finished eating, and started looking around for my check, I noticed she was lingering nearby, purposefully watching me, but she didn't approach until I signaled for my check. It was just...weird. It was like I'd wandered into her apartment or something.
Overall, I would return during happy hour, or if they just made the food about 25% cheaper across the board. It was quick too.
