I was super looking forward to coming here, but the experience wasn't what I thought it would be at all. I'm happy they have so many things on their menu to try, but what I got didn't feel like it was worth it at all.
If you're wanting to have shrimp tempura as an appetizer, be wary. Panko bredding is used as a substitute, and it's not tasty at all. Panko is for things like korokke and tonkatsu, not this. It's false advertising, just call it panko shrimp on the menu instead.
If you want their eggrolls you may have better luck. However, we got one burnt and the other perfect. Consistency isn't there at all.
If you want a deep fried Sakura roll from them, be careful. The roll isn't what you espect when you read "deep fried" next to a roll on their menu. They just lightly coat the roll with flour and then fry it that way it seems. Unlike how other restaurants prepare it, the bredding was barely visible around the roll itself. It was made twice, and it still barely had a crunch when we ate it. Very underwhelming.
If you want the Sweet & Sour chicken, it's not worth it. Cooked chicken with sweet & sour sauce slapped on. Yes, it was ordered without spice. However, places like Mian Bistro still make flavors pop with their sauces even when you ask for no spice on your food. This was incredibly and disappointingly bland.
If you want the New York Steak hibachi, pray that it doesn't come out cold. The sides it came with were much hotter than this. It still tasted alright though. The best things eaten on that dish were the fried rice and vegetables.
I really wanted to love this place, but given how big their menu is, I feel like things made are an afterthought. The menu is too ambitious, and it doesn't properly execute what it sets out to be. Everything suffers, nothing seems to be given proper attention to.
