It has been about a year since we last visited and, unfortunately, the food and service quality has gone down quite a fair bit - it seems the culture in the restaurant is rushed - perhaps a shot of patience and focus is needed both in the kitchen and front-of-house.The soft-shelled crab hand roll tasted good, however it seemed haphazardly put together: the tobiko wasn't even meticulously place on the roll. The dan-dan ramen wasn't very spicy and was stingy on the peanut for this to be accurately
The soft-shelled crab hand roll tasted good, however it seemed haphazardly put together: the tobiko wasn't even meticulously place on the roll. The dan-dan ramen wasn't very spicy and was stingy on the peanut for this to be accurately called "dan-dan" at all. The tsukune was it's only redeeming factor: enough cartilage in the mince for a proper mouthfeel. The tempura-don was a let down - the tempura was inconsistent with some parts chewy and uncooked, and the rice was lacklustre. Furthermore, the tempura was not served with its sauce - and we had to call the waiter twice: once for the tentsuyu and again for the grated daikon. For a busy restaurant, it seemed understaffed with at most only 3 noticeable waiters in the front-of-house at any given time, with one of them usually carrying a truck load of food from the kitchen.
Japanese fare - and especially for a casual restaurant in a premium location - ought to be handled with focus and precision, something at seemed amiss from service to kitchen. Perhaps the taiko drum would be better placed in the kitchen to keep the chefs focused.
