As disappointing a meal as I have had in years. We drove a 250 mile round trip to take our sushi loving son here, as he had wanted to go for years. We had extensively looked at the menu on line,then learned 17 pages of the menu were things they hoped to offer in the future! What we ordered from the pages we had was, by NY metro standards, at best ordinary sushi. And we had to wait 75 minutes to be served after ordering. A preppy trap-avoid!
What a bummer. Whoever wrote that this place is about the alcohol was right on the money. Chinese Firecracker was a great drink - all the sushi sampled basically sucked. I'm not even sure the rice has vinegar - Kimchee Seared Arctic Char was the only good roll. A+ for creativity, but the results are so vapid that praising it is like putting your child's piece of **** drawing on the refrigerator and telling him/her how wonderful it is.
This place is and should be only about alcohol. (Try the chili-infused sake.) The food is a joke: tiny pieces of sub-par fish surrounded by gimmicky American comfort food, and the service is, uh, enthusiastic.
A must-go on their 10-course price fix dinner. Not your ordinary or expected sushi! Very creative.
Delicious,fresh and unique tasting japanese food that never fails to please even the most discerning taste buds. Come here for a relaxing meal that will feel like you're taking a journey in Japan.
