Food: Unfocused taste and presentation

The restaurant's menu features an eclectic mix, with the Okonomiyaki and Chirashi Bowl scoring some points. However, the neutrality comes across as unfocused, leaving some dishes to merely be decent. The worst offender is the Miso Soup, tainted by the taste of soap due to poorly washed bowls, making the food presentation questionable at best.

  • Great Value

    Customers rave about great food quality at reasonable prices frequently.

  • Almost Creative

    Eclectic mix of foods; some find it creative, others may see it as unfocused.

  • Low Quality

    Sushi tasted old indicating stale ingredients, causing concerns for diners.

Vibe: Dated decor killing the ambiance

The restaurant’s ambiance suffers due to old, poorly lit and dated decor coupled with uncomfortable furnishings. Its rugged feel doesn't win over customers seeking a sophisticated spot for a date. The lack of buzz on a typically busy Friday night only showcases the restaurant’s acceptability level among diners.

  • Bad For Dates

    Dingy, rugged, old feel turns off those looking for upscale date spots.

Perks: Parking manageability to the rescue

Although the restaurant has manageable parking options, the back outside eating area, with its overhead covering, is notably unappealing. The service quality teeters between prompt and forgetful, leaving the customer experience sub-par. However, the restaurant does accommodate large groups and offers a diverse range of diet-friendly options.

  • Great For Groups

    Accommodates large groups with ample seating and friendly service

  • Okay To Park

    Parking is manageable with meters and pay lots, but variability by time.

  • Bad Outdoor

    Back outside eating area has overhead covering, possibly making it less appealing.
