Expect bold flavors and both unique and creative plates meant for sharing. The whole atmosphere is great for group dinners in a sleek, energetic dining room with a lively soundtrack. Must get the cheese sticks to start and "big fish" to top it off.
The standout dishes for me were the spicy salmon fritas and the Big Fish dessert. The fresh salmon paired perfectly with the crispy sushi rice, creating a great balance of flavor and texture. I also tried the pulpo chancon, but it lacked flavor and I only ate a few pieces. I highly recommend the Big Fish dessert. The blend of textures and flavors makes it the perfect finish to the meal. Our server was also very attentive and friendly.
Food was pretty good, no complains about it at all and the ambience is really nice too. My biggest complain is the service. Our waiter refused to even meet our eyes. I don’t understand why she kept busy with every other table she was serving except us. We had to wait 30 mins before our table was cleared. We paid extra to get our own birthday cake in, we had to wait for the server for 20 mins to bring it out after lighting our own candles, and after she did, she just left the cake there. We kept raising her hand to flag her but she refused to meet our eyes. How do you expect us to eat the cake? With our hands? So disappointed. This felt like we were being disrespected and discriminated. I loved the food but I would never come back here because of the service we received.
I was only looking for a quick meal because I was short on time. I actually visited here twice waiting for a seat at the bar. When I did find a seat, I was giving water right away! And they asked me what I wanted to drink and they didn't have unsweetened iced tea. I settled for a ginger beer instead. It was served iced and with a lime. I ordered the the Sesame Noodles 🍜 and they arrived quickly! My server pulled up a container and the noodles moved out across my plate! I was giving both a fork and chopsticks. They were tasty! I wanted to try their Sushi but I was short on time. Another person ordered Sushi and I watched it being made. It is very busy here on a Saturday night! Be prepared for a wait if you don't have a reservation. It is a little loud in there. I am going to recommend this restaurant and I want to come back and try different items!
Great food and desserts. The Big Fish is a must-try—taiyaki with ice cream, caramelized bananas, and prickly pear sorbet. The appetizers sushi are also worth exploring, with plenty of interesting options that are all great. Highly recommend.
