I definitely wanted this place to be better than it was. The Japanese tapas items weren't bad, but everything was pretty lacklustre, over all. I had the gyoza dumplings, which were decent, and the spicy chicken on rice, which was a big disappointment in terms of spice and flavouring. As far as the decor, the rear of the restaurant is lovely and a nice place to sit if you're in a group, but up-front it's all leftover diner pieces.
