I personally love Japnese food and it is one of my first choices when it comes to choosing restaurants. Nonetheless, this restaurant ruined my appetite for Japanese food for this month.

One of the important aspect of all Japanese food, is the rice. They need to be properly seasonsed which provides base for rolls, nigiris and so much more. However, this restaurant decided to get rid of the flavor of the rice, and add in more rice than needed which destoryed the complexity of the flavors into one, bland, tasteless thing. I cant describe how dissapointing it was. Everything collapsed especially chirashi and rolls which is supposed to have combination of flavors and textures of ingrediantes complementing each other. Rolls depend on the proportional amount of each ingrediant to the other because it needs to condense all flavors into one bite. Yet, the restaurant stuffed in ingrediants, forgetting about the amount. This lead to one ingrediant's flavor engulfing the others. I ordered basic rolls such as california rolls which sometimes act as base for many complicated rolls. Since they destoryed the simple rolls, I can't imagine how disastrous the others will be. The california rolls in Safeway is better than this. I will not even go on about how soggy the tempuras were. However, for services, it was poor but I will give some benefit of the doubt since there were few huge parties.

Overall, I am quite suprised that this place have 3.8 ratings. The food especially basics were terrible. Chefs lack skills that needs to develop better quality and thoughtful dishes. I will definitely not go to this place nor I will recommend this place to anyone. Please don't waste your time and money
