The gyoza was cold. 40ish minutes later our food was brought out one plate at a time over the next 20ish minutes. By the time my father - who paid - got his plate, we had all finished our dinner. The chicken and the rice were cold, three of us got chicken plates at different times and they were all cold. My boyfriend did say the sushi was INCREDIBLE though so I'm happy he enjoyed his dinner. People were getting up from the tables to go ask for new drinks and for bills. Again- maybe they were having an off night. They were kind people but honestly it was one of the worst restaurant experiences we have ever had.

The environment is a touch unorthodox as far as restaurants in america are by standard, but I really enjoy the open kitchen and large lobby space they have for events.

My co-workers and I were in town for work and were thoroughly impress at how fresh their sushi tasted. For starters, we had their lobster tempura, yellowtail carpaccio, Sunshine roll. and edamame. I probably would have preferred their regular tempura, but their yellowtail carpaccio was delicious. Another standout was their sunshine roll. For main entree, we each ordered a sashimi/nigiri set. Their selection of nigiri fishes were standard but good. As for dessert, we had shared their creme brulee which was perfect to end our meal.

In the rolls, the chef had an ability to pair ingredients that emphasized texture, all the while working in excellent flavors. The darru and surf and turf rolls were a highlight. The sea urchin roll was out-of-this-world, like a bite of delicious ocean. Starting with the wagyu sliders was a great contrast to the cold sushi dishes. Fatty beef, seared, with salty seasoning and pickles. Excellent! The service was struggling the night we went. They held us up at the bar 20 minutes past our reservation time. They only seated us because we gave up on waiting for an outdoor table. It then took 20 minutes to meet the server and order, and another 45 minutes to start eating. Ultimately the food exceeded the flaccid service. I will be back, but not on a night when I'm in a hurry.

All you care about are intense, rich flavors drawn out of the pork bones with a jab of salty/umami greatness right in the jaw. This place didn't make the cut. I ordered the tonkotsu ramen with pork. The noodles were good and the slice of pork was tasty, albeit briefly (small portion). The broth unfortunately was watery, bland, generically creamy, and not well-seasoned. The menu had plenty of Korean options. The galbi appetizer was the highlight of the meal. The seared rib meat was deliciously caramelized, gingery, and hot, right off the grill. Overall I am not excited to go back because, like I said, if you want to be a hole in the wall, the food needs to be a slam dunk. I'm appreciative to have this option locally, but it didn't knock my socks off.
