We visited this restaurant looking for a pleasant simple meal at the end of a 12 hour transit from home to the hotel and the restaurant was downstairs from where we were staying. The restaurant was crowded, a good sign, and exhibited a pleasant ambience, especially when not knowing the area and other alternatives. Firstly, a laisee fare reception and then to be seated at a table that was in the closest proximity to the neighboring diners, so close that we may have well have been at the same table. After then ordering a drink, a plain, tasteless concoction arrived following which you were hurriedly required to make the food order for your dish/es. Upon making the order for all we could cope with after a long transit, we received the snubby nosed, “you need to order more now”response. When the “food” arrived, it was so basic and plain, not Japonese in anything but name, tasteless, served with abandon, no care or conscience about what the food could or should have been. And then the bill!!!! Why should anyone pay for being served what is such...
Read moreWe ordered the Udon sushi plate. I tried the tuna. Iwas fishy. Tuna should never be fishy. I tried to eat it but I just couldn't. I was so turned off by the taste, I was done. In all fairness, my wife, who loves fish, enjoyed it. She loves that fish flavor. I am American and the sushi in America doesn't have that fishy taste and smell. I ordered the shrimp fried rice. The shrimp were over cooked. It also had a fishy flavor. They give you a type of jalapeno vinaigrette, I added 2 servings of that to the rice and it was edible. I eat sushi at least once per month. Where I go it's...
Read moreFomos ao Udon numa sexta-feira às 20h30 e tivemos uma experiência um pouco confusa logo na chegada: encontramos a porta da frente trancada e não entendemos se era por estar lotado. Tivemos que entrar pelos fundos e, de início, só havia lugar individual em frente à cozinha — não recomendo sentar ali, pois fica muito próximo de uma chapa quente. Depois conseguimos mudar de lugar e ficou bem mais agradável.
Sobre a comida, segue avaliação de cada um dos pratos que pedimos. Shake Maki: 4/5 — gostoso, mas nada demais. Temaki Filadélfia: 4,5/5 — muito bom, mas veio com arroz em excesso e pouco cream cheese. Ebidon: 5/5 — o melhor prato da noite! Bem temperado, com salmão maçaricado, uma explosão de sabores que vale muito a pena. Katsu Sandu: 4/5 — viemos especialmente por esse prato, mas desta vez o pirarucu estava muito mal passado, o que prejudicou um pouco. Yakisoba de Filé: 3,5/5 — porção generosa e sabor bom, mas estava muito salgado.
No geral, foi uma experiência boa, mas achei que os itens do sushibar demoraram bastante e, considerando o preço em geral, não achei que valeu...
