Food: Serious creativity, less taste
Despite its imaginative sushi rolls such as a Soft Shell Crab Tempura roll, Picasso roll and Aburi Toro roll, this joint falls short in execution and satisfaction. The unpleasant, bland taste is reinforced by multiple patron's experiences. To make matters worse, there is a recurring issue of fish lacking in freshness, leaving a lasting, negative memory of the menu.

Vibe: Tragic ambiance, poor drinks
The overall dining experience leaves much to be desired. The ambiance is woefully dreary, with a messy interior degrading the entire setting. A lively meal needs good drinks, but here, the restricted list of beers, wines and sakes makes the selection disappointing. Not the ideal setting for a romantic date either, thanks to a loud and crowded environment.
Great To Entertain
Awesome music selection creates a lively and enjoyable dining experience.
Bad Drinks
Limited beer, wine, and sake list was a disappointing aspect.
Perks: Abysmal parking, ghastly service
The restaurant's drawbacks do not end with food or ambiance. Claiming a parking spot is a monumental task. Cramped outdoor seating coupled with peak-hour population explosion takes the restaurant's noise levels to a deafening high. Avoid planning a group dinner – it's just too congested. And, brace for disappointment due to their infamously slow and discourteous service.
Great For Diets
Vegetarian and gluten-free options are plentiful and tasty.
Bad Service
Complaints about slow service, neglect, and rude staff negatively impacted experiences.
