Food: Food is average but portions are generous

While the food at this establishment may not spark joy, the Sukiyaki offers a comforting touch reminiscent of home. The portions are large and robust, while lunch specials provide value, despite some tasteless dishes and a limited menu that disappoints the adventurous eater.

  • Okay Variety

    Standard menu, food generally good, room for improvement.

  • Low Quality

    The sushi was fishy and stale, indicating poor ingredient quality.

Vibe: Outdated ambiance hindering enjoyment

The vibe suffers greatly from an outdated interior, dim lighting, and a layout that hampers comfort. Although jazz music attempts to elevate the experience, the crowded atmosphere proves unsuitable for quiet conversations or romantic encounters.

  • Okay Sound

  • Bad Aesthetic

    Super outdated, old vibe with poor layout and dim lighting issues.

Perks: Chaotic service forsakes satisfaction

Service here is a lesson in patience, with slow and inattentive staff often leaving patrons feeling frustrated. Cramped parking and inadequate accommodations for families render the experience even less appealing, making it a challenge for groups to enjoy.

  • Okay Cleanliness

  • Bad Speed
