Well this is really a mixed review.
Ambiance is great, customer service is good, but the food itself has very mixed reviews. During prime times, this place gets quite busy despite being two stories, so we’d recommend making a reservations. They have both an upstairs and a downstairs.
The chicken teriyaki is a huge miss. It’s basically just a pile of bad pieces of chicken. They assured us it was chicken breast, but it’s all kinds of bizarre chicken parts grilled in a teriyaki sauce, which isn’t bad, but not very good either. The chicken itself, though, is off-putting. It doesn’t come with
any vegetables other than 2 small pieces of carrot and one potato. And on top of that, you have to order rice in addition, otherwise you’re eating just a pile of chicken. The dish + the rice is super expensive and definitely a miss. Would not recommend it.
Japchae – these looked so good, so we tried it. It’s thin glass noodles tossed with veggies. The taste is off, it’s a small portion, and overall disappointing.
The sushi is great though, but this is mainly because of the sushi rice they use. The sushi rice is quite decadent. It’s very moist, I’d imagine due to the amount of vinegar used. It sticks together better than most sushi rices, and it’s sweeter and denser. I’m going to assume they don’t go as far as to put oil in their sushi rice (although if I didn’t know better, I’d say there had to be oil in it to get it to that texture), but it’s very good. It’s the stickiest, shiniest such rice I’ve ever come across. Sushi prices are not bad either.
I’d go for the sushi and the nice ambiance, but I would avoid trying any main dishes.
