    It's all fancy now since they remodled, but the fun seems to have left the building. The service was pretty bad, and the place wasn't even busy! The food was just ok. Overpriced for what you got.

    We came here on a Monday afternoon and the place was quite empty. We got seated immediately. We ordered the takoyaki, Spicy salmon cut roll, El diablo crunch roll, and the Mango mango roll. The moment we sat, we were asked what we wanted to order when we hadn't even had a chance to look at the menu yet. We weren't given any bowls for the soy sauce and wasabi. Through the meal, there seemed to be two servers who managed all the tables but didn't talk to each other to see if they had already taken care of the table. We gave our order to one server and 1-2 minutes later, the second server came by asking if we wanted anything more. So service seemed a little off. Onto the food: the takoyaki was ok. I don't it was made in the traditional way because the balls were very uniformly round. We also didn't find a piece of octopus inside so we imagine that they used an octopus meat paste or something. The yogurt based sauce with it was delicious, especially the seasoning powder on it, and we enjoyed that a lot! Among the rolls, the spicy salmon roll was a good solid roll - decent size, made to be compact and tasty. The Mango mango roll was just ok. It mentioned avocado, wasabi and siracha but the mango overwhelmed everything and it was quite sweet. The El Diablo roll was good but too big! It was NOT spicy even though it is supposed to be one. The tempura shrimp was nice but a little lost in all the flavor. We ranked the rolls as spicy salmon > El Diablo > Mango mango. The wasabi was not fresh but had a kick to it. The ginger didn't have much heat. All in all, this is a decent place but nothing to rave about. Ambiance is quaint modern. Lots of parking since this in the outdoor mall area. Parking in front of the restaurant is on 30 mins so you might have to park a bit away and walk.

    Great selection of Japanese food. My only recommendation is to read the description of the items carefully: I accidentally ordered something spicy because there are no red icons next to the spicy dishes.

    The quality is great and compared to others the price is very fair.
