For a $70 dinner, you'd expect a nicer experience. I'd rather have stopped by Panda Express. First red flag was the younger woman in the front of house with the large glasses. She rushed us through checking out, was very short when I asked if we pay first or after our meal, as I was going to put my card away she rudely tapped the counter while huffing for me to sign the paper. I apologized and she immediately started telling the person behind me to step forward while I was signing (it was only us in the lobby). My dad went to ask her a question and she walked off. When we made our way to the dinning room, she had already set our silverware down and was heading back into the lobby. We needed a booth for my dad, so we asked one of the service workers running the dinning room if we could move seats and he was very kind about it all. I'd like to point out that the wait staff are all very kind, smiling, and pleasant.

All of that said about the experience, the food was still terrible. This was Friday dinner. Most of the food, despite a full house, was stale and cold. If it wasn't cold, it was still stale and being stirred every few minutes to appear fresh. The choices are great, if they tasted great it would be better. The sashimi was "crusty" on the edges. Some of the sushi was delicious. The noodles were mush.

This was the third time we've tried this place and each time has been the same. Try it yourself and leave a review to help others.

Edit to add that there are a large amount of flies all over. Screaming children, as well (which is not their fault, but keeping in mind the price and ambiance, it's something to think about before choosing this place).

Summary: I got food poisoning here from undercooked seafood.

We paid 18 per person to eat Friday dinnertime, before drinks, because of the crab on the menu. That's a reasonable price, and I do love crab, so I didn't mind. I eat crab all the time, I'm familiar with the flavors and what should and shouldn't be among them. As soon as I recognized the fishy taste of the crab legs I didn't touch them further, but by then it was too late for my poor stomach it seems. Crab shouldn't have a fishy taste to it when it is cooked all the way through, and should be buttery and light in flavor. Undercooked shellfish is no joke, it can make people very sick, so I'm extremely wary of a restaurant that serves undercooked crab to its customers. The clams were fine but some were blatantly a different, off color when they had opened during cooking and should have been removed. Some foods were piled so high the top was getting off temperature due to the distance between it and the metal pans it was held in. Food was being topped up, but while I'm against waste unnecessarily anything left over in the old pan was put on top of the new one indefinitely, resulting in seafood going off temp and being left out too long. These kinds of practices won't fail an inspection, but they can and do make people sick. Like me, for example...

I may brave the establishment again at a different time of day to see if it's any better, and will update my review if it is, but currently I'm ill from the only thing I ate yesterday and therefore will be spending my time not as intended. My current overall verdict would be to avoid their seafood specials on Fridays for sure, and probably to seek an alternative...
