I went there to eat because it was marketed as a place for sea urchin lovers. I was truly disappointed. Here’s what I ordered: two large scallops with sea urchin, beef on skewers, sea urchin soup with silver noodles, and razor clam with garlic.The Ichiban frozen beer they serve is just perfect. The icy foam on top is great. Whoever created the machine that makes the icy foam deserves the Nobel Prize. The scallops were slightly too well done and you can hardly taste the urchin. I ordered it via a special on OpenRice for 28 a piece (versus regularly priced at 78). The beef on skewers were cooked perfectly but it was definitely overpriced.

Overall the service is good but the food is below average at best. If you are looking for a sea urchin place, this is NOT it. For the price, I think there are a least a dozen places nearby that could do better. …Read More
