Food: Tasteless sushi for a price

The biggest disappointment is the mediocre, tasteless and sometimes disturbingly unsanitary sushi which doesn't score many points in taste. Moreover, even the salads seem unimpressive with brownish, slimy lettuce reported in some cases. In an almost ironic turn of events, the food is supposedly overpriced, making it questionable value for such mediocrity.

  • Large Portions

    Generous portions frequently mentioned, particularly appreciated in lunch meals.

  • Okay Taste

    Experiences vary; some find food enjoyable but acknowledge inconsistency in quality.

  • Bad Value

    Expensive for mediocre food; overpriced and not good value.

Vibe: Minimalistic ambiance fails

The vibe here seems to lack character. Featuring a less than impressive ambiance that does nothing to enhance the dining mood which is an essential part of an enjoyable dining experience. It's ironic how the ambiance contrasts sharply with the restaurant's positive date-night setting, making romance feel out of place.

  • Great For Dates

    Relaxing music, decor, bamboo dividers create intimate, romantic date setting.

  • Bad Ambiance

    Atmosphere needs improvement, which negatively impacts the dining mood

Perks: Group-discomfort and rude service

Don't bother considering this place for a group dinner as the small space merely amplifies the discomfort of dining in large numbers. As if lackluster space factor wouldn't suffice, the staff adds to the woes with their nonchalant behavior and slow service. Even the children seem ignored, causing havoc for others with their wild running.

  • Bad Service

    Rude staff and slow service ruin dining experience, leading to customer dissatisfaction.
