The food was fine, the decor was very nice, but the service was....the worst I've been treated in…read moreall my life. Absolutely ridiculous. Where to start? Well, our server, "Hellen" (yes, with two "L"s), gave us our drink order and then grabbed the drink menu from the table. My girlfriend said "Can we keep that?" - just in case we wanted a different drink later. My girlfriend then asked me if I wanted to keep the drink menu at the table, and I said, "Yeah - but we can always ask for it again." Whereupon "Hellen" shook the menu in her hand and said to us firmly, "Do you want the menu or not?!" I felt like saying to her "Who the h#ll do you think you're talking to?" - but didn't want to make a scene. Next, the only time we saw "Hellen" again was when she took our empty dinner dishes. (There were young guys walking around refilling our water glasses, so no need for her to do that.) We finished our meal and "Hellen" stopped at our table to leave the dinner check. Never once during our meal did she ask if everything was okay. She also didn't ask if we wanted another drink or, perhaps, dessert? (If they serve such a thing.) And it didn't appear to be just us. No one else on either side of us got another drink or was asked how their meal was. It seemed like it was just, "Here's your meal, hurry up and eat and leave so we can clean your table for the next people." Horrible service. Ruined the end of a nice day for us.

Service was quick and to the point, even though it was kinda busy we got our food in a timely manner. I loveeee the creamy broth, definitely try the R10 ramen. We also ordered pork buns and they were jam packed with flavor. I love the restaurant aesthetic overall it's very clean and well kept. It was around $42 for 2 soups (with extra additions), the appetizer and two drinks! Amazing price point in my opinion.

The shrimp is always good, this was our first time with the chicken and I don't think that I'd order it again. It seemed pretty dry. The sauce that came with it was nice. While I usually order the miso ramen, I changed it up this time and ordered the Japanese chicken curry which I really enjoyed. This is a great spot!

It does get a little awkward when you're seated inside because the staff is very close by. I got 2 sushi rolls and my partner got a chicken katsu bowl, for the price tag we definitely thought the portions were going to be a bit bigger so I would say I give it 4 stars for that. We paid about $80 for 2 people, that's including one entree, two sushi rolls, a gyoza appetizer and one fountain drink. Definitely a nice date night spot if you're looking to splurge. The quality of the sushi was amazing despite the price, so I would definitely come back!

I really enjoyed the half soft-boiled egg in the shio ramen as well as the enormous quantity of noodles, but there wasn't a ton of flavor in the dish. The chicken hibachi had great sauce and decent noodles, but the meat was dry and felt overcooked. The caterpillar roll surprised me since it was tuna-based, rather than the eel that is typical for that name. None of the dishes stood out as exceptional. The service was quite interesting. I did appreciate the water service - the server came around early on yo offer refills. Then about midway through the meal, she asked if we wanted leftovers boxed up. I wasn't too hungry so I was fine with take home the leftovers, although the timing felt a bit early to me. I couldn't tell if that was because it was just after 8 PM and they were trying to close up soon (advertised closing time of 8:30 PM), but there were still plenty of other tables with diners. The bill came with a mandatory 18% tip for our group of 5.

"Right before my very eyes Baby what a big surprise"…read more(Chicago) When was the last time, you were enjoying a gorgeous looking dish of Vegetable Tempura and realized OMG, I just chomped down on something crazy spicy? Well, that's what happens when you bite into an unadvertised half of a jalapeno pepper when the menu promises sweet potato, onion, and broccoli. Now look, as the late Sly Stone sang, "Different strokes for different folks", meaning that we all have different tolerances for spiciness. I was OK with that blazing piece of green, that for all purposes looked like a slice of Bell Pepper, but it set off fire alarms for my wife, who flat out couldn't eat it. Putting all that aside, we had a very enjoyable dinner. We got a lucky parking spot in a small lot right across the street and were seated without a reservation, which was also kind of lucky because Kisara doesn't have a lot of seating - I counted 8 tables (some for 4 and a few for 2) and nine seats at the bar. Our dinner ran a shade under $42 with tax for a 12-ounce bottle of Sapporo beer, the aforementioned Vegetable Tempura appetizer ($10), an Octopus Sushi appetizer (three pieces for $5.75, and two nice salads - an Avocado Salad ($7.25) and Teriyaki Chicken ($11.50). As you can see, Kisara's pricing is pretty good. The Tempura (save for the unexpected and unadvertised jalapeno halves) was very good - a generous serving of hot, crispy and oil free sweet potato planks, broccoli florets, and onion rings. My octopus sushi was pretty good. The pieces were large and presented beautifully. Maybe a minor quibble would be the chewiness factor of the octopus. The salads were very pretty - an attractive presentation of mixed greens, lettuce, cucumbers, shredded carrots, and a ginger dressing. My wife's salad had seven avocado slices and mine had ten chunks of teriyaki sauce glazed chicken chunks. Maybe another minor quibble would be the chewiness of the chicken, they were definitely overcooked. Positives Their menu is fantastic. Service was fine and included a few check-backs which are always appreciated Negatives There is no public WIFI - when I saw a Kisara network pop up, I asked for the password and was told "that's only for the manager". They don't really have a website, but you can somewhat see one via an ordering platform off their Facebook page. Conclusion For walking in off the street without a reservation, overall, we had a very nice dinner.

I got the Cannon ball roll which had shrimp tempura, a garlic aioli, and topped with a nice chunk of beautifully seared steak. I loved that roll - super delish!

I also got a salmon skin roll which had crushed up salmon skin in the roll... unique as I'm used to a rolled up fried salmon skin. My fiancé got the Mt Holyoke roll and enjoyed it as well. The specialty rolls were definitely massive. My only disappointment was the duck bao, which had shredded duck in five spice. I was hoping for the more traditional peking duck style bao. My bao also had some furry bits stuck to the end, not sure if it was lint from somewhere but it looked like dog hair. It was pretty baked into there. I didn't mind too much I just ripped that piece off. Too hungry to care, but that knocked a star off the review. Would potentially try the ramen if we come back.
