3 /5 V. Mayumie “May”: We arrived at the Restaurant at 3:37pm we were a party of three adults with a toddler was told it would be a 30 min wait; had no problem placed our phone number and name to be called while we waited we walked around the plaza. Once we received the call at 3:59 pm the hostess cleared the table and placed a high chair for my son which was great.
Intimate Setting: The restaurant has limited seating, which contributes to a more personal and intimate dining Then we waited for another roughly additional 5 MIN; waiter brought in plates napkins and TWO sets of utensils for TWO of the THREE adults to use without bringing in any chopsticks ( we had seen all other tables have them without even requesting them). waiter did not even ask if we wanted anything to drink or better yet GIVEN US THE MENU so we could order our food. so for the time we waited we used our phones to get a rough idea of what they offer and see what we would like to order. Once we were given our menu it was an additional 10 min wait;once those were set she FINALLY asked if there was anything that we would like to order to drink; we ended up ordering a water and two hot green teas. after we had placed our order the hostess let us know it is a bit of a wait since there was only one Itamae in right now and the wait is a bit longer then expected, not a problem. during our dining another Itamae arrived shortly. once food arrived it had a beautiful presentation with ambient flavor to match each dish. throughout our meal NO ONE checked in on us until roughly 45 mins in, we had asked for two additional waters (which those were never delivered to our table even after we were given the check) once our waiter came back for the second time she refilled my ONE water again we asked for waters for the other two adults at this time and placed our to GO Orders. I had ordered two additional sushi rolls to go and Escolar (Butterfish) SASHIMI but the waitress had placed in the order as NIGIRI two completely different things (this was seen after i had paid gotten home and placed my child to sleep we were just so tired from the wait time.) for the TO GO ORDERS we waited an additional 45 MIN even though the hostess claimed it would be around 20 MIN, when that time passed my husband had left the restaurant to go change our childs diaper in the car since the restuarants bathroom did not have a changing table to which took him 15 minutes to go back in to the restaurant and at this time we had already waited 35 MIN, when we received our order an additional 10 minutes had passed we were in the 45min mark at this time. for appetizers we ordered Veggie Tempura, california rolls and Spicy Edamame as for the meal we ordered; + Sukiyaki The dish arrives in a traditional pot, steam rising with that unmistakable sweet-savory aroma of a classic warishita broth--a rich blend of soy sauce, mirin, and sugar. Every bite is a different experience. You get the snap of the fresh napa cabbage and onions, the earthy, meaty chew of the shiitake mushrooms, and the silky "slurp" of the glass noodles that have turned dark and flavorful from absorbing the soup. Black Tunder Roll Filling: The core of the roll features shrimp tempura, fresh asparagus, and cream cheese. +Crunchy Eel Roll The Filling: It is built with a core of unagi (BBQ eel), shrimp, cream cheese, and avocado. The Crunch: Unlike standard rolls, this entire roll is deep-fried, then topped with tempura flakes, onion, and sesame seeds for maximum crispness. Garnish: It is finished with a pop of texture from tobiko (fish roe). King Fish Roll The Core: The interior of the roll features a blend of three popular raw fish--Salmon, Maguro (tuna), and Hamachi (yellowtail)--paired with crisp cucumber for added texture. Toppings: The roll is finished with slices of creamy avocado and a garnish of tobiko (flying fish roe). + Tonkotsu Ramen (a rich comforting velvety broth) The dish is served as a complete meal with several traditional toppings
