This Asian restaurant has a truly massive menu spanning Chinese, Thai, and Japanese cuisine, so it's easy to get overwhelmed the first time you go.
My mom and I wanted to take our time looking through the menu because it was so big, but since the waiters were extra attentive and asking every couple minutes if we were ready to order, we felt a bit rushed.
We ended up getting the angry bird sushi roll and Godzilla sushi roll. I forget which roll was which, but the crab and shrimp tempura was incredible. We both felt it was one of the best sushi rolls we've had. However, we felt the crab, avocado, and cream cheese roll had way too much cream cheese.
For appetizers, the pan fried pork dumplings were okay. Not bad but not exceptional. The three custard buns, in contrast, were divine - big, soft, fluffy, with a perfectly melted center. It filled me up more than the sushi.
Mom's beef with chilli sauce dish had a nicely presented carrot flower, but too much oil on the bottom. She ended up tilting the plate to keep the oil in one corner of the square plate.
The restaurant has beautiful decor with white walls, snakeskin-looking seats, and red napkins. It's a striking color scheme, and the abstract paintings and flowers add an elegant touch. The industrial ceiling can be ignored thanks to the wavy mesh - a creative way to retain the elegance of the space.
Despite the nice decor, I think it's best to dress casually, maybe business casual at most. You'd look a bit out of place in a suit, I feel.
In all, the meal was $85 including tips for two people. The service was okay, and the sushi felt a tad expensive compared to other local sushi places. I'd love to come back and try the rest of the menu, like the Peking duck, but based on this visit, it's a solid 3...
Read moreSTAY away from the old fish sushi!!
Unfortunately after 3 out of 4 bad experiences I have to say I do not understand who can rate the food at 5 stars. We are no that high maintenance or picky but were shocked by the sushi rolls yesterday.
I was pulling out fish membrane from my teeth for hours and immediately got terribly bloated and had severe belly aches till the morning. Today I had runs, twice and have continuous acid reflux. These people do not know what a good sushi grade fish is if it tapped them on the back. When we complained they did nothing to remediate like fresh rolls or comping the meal.
We ordered Cowboy roll and Spicy lovers roll. Both had exactly same boring filling of ground fish. No nice flavors or recipe. And both contained visibly old, grey, unhealthy looking, dry, warm, disgusting tuna. It even looked like they tried to disguise the bad quality fish by searing the edges but to no avail. We chewed and chewed and realized this is simply the worst and most dishonest sushi we ever had. Bordering on food poisoning judging from the state of my stomach today.
I visited once with a bigger group and liked the food and then came 3 more times, each with a different person and each food experience pretty so, so. I had thai curry, thai soup, chinese fish and chicken, and each time something was wrong. The duck curry one time was simply odd, the meat tasted chewy and gross. The chinese dish with fish tasted like sugar, and parts of the fish has gone bad.
But the worst was yesterday when after still reading these high reviews I persuaded my husband to go here for sushi. I cannot believe I spent so...
Read moreExcellent all around! We were looking for a place to celebrate our daughter's engagement and came across this restaurant due to previous reviews. The rating was accurate. First, the restaurant itself was very nice. The interior was very simple but kind of modernly stylish and tasteful. It was set up so that although there were a lot of tables, we didn't hear the other patrons. It was fun seeing the sushi chef in the corner, and the room just felt very clean. The waitress was very nice and good. She satisfied my son's rule for coming by often enough to fill our water glasses. She was very helpful with our many questions and she gave us great advice on two dishes to try. As with many restaurants, rarely do all five of us have a "great" meal. We did here. I had the Panang Curry with chicken, and my daughter had the Thai Basil with chicken - the waitress's favorites on the menu. Both we very good. The flavor in both was so good we shared each others meals alternating bites of what we took. My wife had the Crispy Pork which also had very good flavor and taste. Same with the Drunken Noodles and Pad Thai. We recommend you get appetizers - the Sushi was quite good as were the Soup Dumplings. We plan on coming here again, and we picked up a Take-out menu for this is by far the best Asian food we have found in the West...
