Reviews
The set also lets you pick one special roll—I went with the spider roll. Flavor was great, but the rice was too packed and kind of fell apart like a block. Not a deal breaker, just a bit disappointing.
The kani salad was really nice too—different from the usual cucumber-heavy ones. This one had lots of lettuce, which gave it a fresh, crisp bite.
Overall, very good experience. I’ll definitely order again and would like to dine in next time.
Starting with the chirashi bowl: the tuna looked unnatural — overly saturated, uniformly magenta, dense, and completely lacking the natural grain and translucency fresh tuna should have. It did not resemble fresh-cut fish in either appearance or texture and raised immediate concerns about quality. Anyone familiar with sashimi would recognize that this is not how tuna is supposed to look.
The fish-to-rice ratio was extremely unbalanced. The bowl was padded with rice, garnish, and fillers (seaweed salad, shredded daikon, imitation crab), while the actual sashimi was sliced paper-thin and laid flat to give the illusion of portion. This is not generous plating — it’s camouflage.
Several pieces of lighter fish appeared matte and dry rather than glossy, suggesting age or improper storage. The cuts themselves were inconsistent and poorly executed, which points to speed and cost-cutting rather than care or skill.
The bento box followed the same pattern: a large rice compartment, overcooked and dry bulgogi, minimal protein, and side items used to bulk up the box. Nothing tasted fresh or thoughtfully prepared.
Toward the end of the meal, we were given two pieces of sushi “on the house.” While appreciated in theory, it felt less like hospitality and more like an attempt to compensate for an already disappointing experience. Unfortunately, a couple of complimentary pieces do not make up for systemic issues with food quality and execution.
After the meal, both of us experienced stomach discomfort and felt unwell. While I can’t say definitively what caused it, it was concerning enough to reinforce that something about this food was not right.
What’s also troubling is that we later learned this restaurant offers an AYCE (all-you-can-eat) option, yet this was never mentioned or explained by our server. We were not informed of the option at any point, which raises concerns about transparency and whether customers are being steered toward higher-priced à la carte orders without full disclosure.
What makes this especially frustrating is that the photos attached show exactly what was served. This wasn’t a one-off mistake — it appears to be a consistent quality and transparency problem that does not align with the restaurant’s public reputation.
For a place rated this highly, the food quality, portioning, and execution are simply unacceptable. If you care about freshness, value, or honest service, I strongly recommend looking elsewhere.
