Ordered the curry chicken on Sat 9/16/23, too many onions (undercooked as well). The chicken was cooked nicely, but the sauce was thin and underwhelming.
Ordered sesame chicken, shrimp tempora, pan fried noodles, and white rice. The sesame chicken was chewy and the sauce was like gravy. Didn’t even end up eating it. The shrimp tempura tasted like batter and the pan fried rice was completely uncooked but burnt. Only thing that was edible was the white rice🤣
First time here. The place was not very busy. We stood waiting to be seated, and someone behind what I think was the sushi bar motioned with his head for us to sit at a table. We were seated for about 10 minutes before anyone came over. The waitress was not in a terribly good mood. The food was very good. I liked the wonton soup and general tso chicken. There was a good portion, and had a nice zip to it. What i couldn't understand was the group in the restaurant that thought it was ok for 2 of their younger children to literally run around and throw paper airplanes that landed wherever! Incredibly, none of the adults did anything to stop it nor did any of the staff! The food was good enough for me to go back and try again.
Love it here! Food and drinks are amazing! Be sure to try the kimchi fried rice, dumplings and sake! It's a little tight with seating arrangements so you have to be comfortable with being close to others. It's also very dark/dim lighting that some may be uncomfortable to eat it. The staff's nice but sometimes booking on RESY your booking may not appear for the hostess. Find alternate or be prepared for that to happen and you be asked to wait.
Had the eggplant with tofu and it was perfect! We also had some sushi and cocktails which were pretty decent but the drinks were a little pricey for being basic drinks. They had run out of a bunch of things when we were there and a lot of items we wanted to order were unavailable.
Service was always rude but we ordered regularly because we liked some of their dishes like miso and hot and sour soup. I will never order from here again. I found this worm halfway through my beef and broccoli lunch. When I brought it back to show them woman was extremely rude suggesting I may have placed it there even though I wasn’t even asking for a refund and tried to grab the container to get rid of the evidence. I called the Board of Health, absolutely disgusting.
the food is decent but overpriced. Update your website with prices. Its 2023 people need to know what the food costs UP FRONT and not get smacked with a big bill when picking up.
Ordered general tso chicken found curly short hair cooked in the batter. The owner said it was my curly hair. I was so irate that he blamed me. Which I told him my hair is very long and straight. Never apologized and blamed me. This is disgusting. Poor management!
