"We tried this restaurant for the first time after reading a few reviews, we were thrilled to try. Customer service was great! Very attentive and helpful. We ordered the salt and pepper chicken wings, spicy cooked beef, sizzling seafood and tofu tonpot and fresh seasonal vegetables. The dishes came out quite quickly what was nice, we a little concerned about the turn around the time of some of the reviews. But was very satisfied with the service and attention. Every dish was delicious! None of the sauces were the same, everyone had their own taste. The spicy boiling beef was a delicious surprise, good spices and loved the Star Anis taste in the dish. The dazzling seafood and tofu tonpot was also delicious, but slightly disappointed that it did not sizzling, they cooked in a wok and put it in a foil fed tonepot for easy cleaning that disappoints me. The seasonal veggies did not look all this exciting, but I was surprised with the magnificent taste of the sauce. Finally, the salt and pepper chicken wings. We order these everywhere and they were pretty good, could use a bit more pepper and taste, but the chicken had a big cripple to them. My one big complaint must pay for individual portions of rice with our meal. I understand it from a business perspective, but from a consumer perspective, it's kind of sucking. Add a few more cents to the other dishes and offer free rice. Anyway, unlike that, it was a delicious experience and we will try again more"

"At first I have to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry I have to leave a not so stellar review as I really wanted to like a sushi place in the neighborhood. First part, the good: the ambience was brilliant. You go in and are welcomed by really cool entrance, which really leads you to a difference place. When you open the door, there is a water function that drowns from each of the outer sounds that is beautiful and not overpowered. The inside of the restaurant is welcoming with its cool stoned wooden slabs hanging from the roof and the back wall built to look like a traditional Japanese alley shop at the front really cool. They were slow on this Monday evening, so we sat immediately, and the waitress came to us to offer drinks and menus. Through the menu the pricing was quite high, but they subscribe to the same scheme as most local sushi shops of price minus 50%, which is good. I mean, why not just this $20 sushi roll on $10 and call it a day, but whatever. Through the reels they look a good selection, but I noticed that many of the reels had gurke. I'm not super picky, so I really didn't think about it and ordered 2 reels: the 007 and a rainbow reel. The food came out quickly (again they were quite slow) and that?s how the review takes a turn. The waitress asks if we needed something else when we put the boards. I asked about the small side of the sriracha sauce, as I usually do and was shocked to say it would be 95 cents for the side. I asked if this was a normal fee for sauces and confirmed them. Really? 95 cents for a squirt from Sriracha? I understand that the costs have risen but are reasonable in your costs and if you? I will charge myself, at least give me actual original Siracha sauce not knock off a little cheap you can say the difference. That was a BIG switched off and one thing that brought a nail back to my coffin? but hey, all the great reviews of good food, I'm sure I'm here for a treat. Yeah, no. The reels were small, the fish was fresh, but the 007 had a kind of sauce above that could not help to ruin what kind of fish was up and had little taste to help his secret. The filling of the roll was meager, as it was overwhelmed by the large quarter of the cucumber, which was filled in the roll, which also exaggerated the flavor profile of the 007. The Rainbow Roll is generally sold and sauce released, but it came with a white tasteless strip of sauce and maybe Eel sauce? The role was tiny and I'm not sure if it had all kinds of fish, as it usually comes, as I could?t taste it with how gland was the crab filling and whatever was sauce on it. I finished my meal in the last nail that didn't come back, broken and hammered."
