Three of us went there for dinner. As soon as we sat down, two small plates of appetizers were served to each of us together with a small "starter" drink (apple-flavoured wine).While we were busy catching up with each other, the waitress interrupted to see if we wanted to order anything. We asked about omakase (which I understood as a type of meal where the chef will serve the freshest food, from appetitizer to dessert, at a set price) and the price.

While we were busy catching up with each other, the waitress interrupted to see if we wanted to order anything. We asked about omakase (which I understood as a type of meal where the chef will serve the freshest food, from appetitizer to dessert, at a set price) and the price. She immediately corrected me, in an extremely patronizing tone, that what I have described is called something else and that she "won't know the price of omakase until the chef starts 'cutting'" - WTF? When we demanded for at least a ball-park figure, she said around ~$1,200. We told her our preferences thinking the chef will handle the rest, but she kept pressing for what we want?!? Anyway, this whole Q&A session went on and on and she never gave us straight answers. In the end, we ordered 6 types of sashimi and 6 types of sushi (one of each for the 3 of us), thinking that will come to ~$1,200.
So we moved on to chat amongst ourselves and the same waitress invited herself to join our conversation...which was rude and inappropriate...this happened throughout the dinner whenever she came to pour tea for us...
Half-way through the dinner, she asked if we wanted to order more. She suggested we should try "the best fish EVER". So we ordered the fish along with some other dishes.
When we had tried the alleged "best fish EVER", all of us concluded that the fish had no taste and is nowhere near the best fish I have ever tasted!
Finally, we asked for the bill, which came to a whopping $4,000. It turned out that we had been charged
- $150 for appetizers + drink - but we were never asked whether we wanted it or not....
- ~$1,100 for the 18 pieces of sashimi - which were indeed very tasty and fresh
- ~$1,300 for the 18 pieces of sushi - which also were very good....but because of the waitress inability to explain clearly that the price she quoted was only for sashimi and we will be charged separately for the sushi, we ended up paying double of what we expected
- $700 for the alleged "best fish EVER" - this is a total rip-off!!
- remainder of the bill was for several much tastier and reasonably priced dishes
After having paid for the bill, we reflected our disappointment, such as how we felt cheated and riped off because she couldn't explain properly, to the waitress and she was still defending herself
For a similar price, we have all had much MUCH better service at other more well-known Japanese restaurants.....which begs the question: why would we ever, ever want to come back here?
