Been hearing a lot of buzz about this place lately, so a friend and I decided to check it out with my boyfriend tagging along.
We've heard about how hard it is to get a table, so we did try to call for a reservation. The recorded message is unclear and hard to understand, but I was quite lucky to have some one pick up within two minutes. I tried to make a reservation for 5pm, and he told me he can put me down but we'll only have 1.5 hours seating time, if we want longer then we can walk in at 5pm to get a table at the walk in section since it's not too busy by that time. Then he just would put me down for the reservation and insisted I walk in, which is really weird.
Luckily we got there at five and there were plenty of tables. By the time we were almost finished with our meal around 7, it was full house.
Service was quite attentive throughout the night, dishes were brought out very fast and cleared even faster from the table.
The food itself I find mediocre. There's not too much selection, especially the sashimi (only three kind of fish). The beef sashimi was quite good, so was the pressed sushi and grilled sushi, some appetizers were quite good as well. However, the grilled food and skewers were really just mediocre, the wings were flavourless, so we're the chicken hearts. Beef short ribs weren't tender. A few things I did like was the karaage and the grilled vegetables, also the lamb and potato stew.
Overall it was an okay experience, wouldn't say it's not worth the money, but wouldn't come back here anytime soon unless someone wants to pay for my meal.
