This place is overhyped and unauthentic.
I visited the restaurant after reading good blog reviews, I sincerely hope the restaurant hasn't been giving out free media tastings to bloggers to write positive reviews.
Service staff are not polite, definitely not something expected in a Japanese restaurant... but then again, they are not Japanese anyway.
Prices are really expensive and the food, though not bad-tasting, isn't anything close to amazing... to justify those prices.
Our sashimi platter consisted of the typical salmon, tuna and yellowtail slices.Sashimi was tough, frozen and expensive. Nothing amazing. Also when it was served, there was a foul smell, but we dismissed it as we were sitting close to a row of shoes near the private dining rooms so we naively thought the foul smell came from the shoes. My friend bit into the bed of shredded radish under the sashimi and spat them out as they were foul-tasting. On closer inspection, we realised the foul smell came from the radish that had gone bad.
I alerted the service staff, who did not even apologise whatsoever, just took the plate away and returned it to the kitchen. she returned awhile later with a new plate, still unapologetic.
I don't understand why the kitchen staff failed to notice the foul radish smell during preparation when it hit us the moment the plate arrived at the table.
This substandard food quality does not justify such high prices.
The rest of the food was only mediocre at best.
I will never return again, neither will I be recommending it to friends and family.
