When The Grape got squeezed... Aomi rolled in their cream cheese to this location. The Grape was a decent concept but it got boring and tiresome real fast. Will this new sooshee joint survive? Based on the decor and Americanized menu, I say... Mebbe.
You gotta love a Japanese menu that has a whole section devoted to "Tapas". I shit you not... It really says "Tapas". Plus, a shitload of cream cheese rolls, hibachi, noodles, fwied rice, bento boxes and sushi. The only thing missing is Injera and Naan. It's truly your run of the mill suburban authentic Hello Kitty menu. This would be a great first date...For High School kiddies.
Nothing is great and nothing is terrible. Space is suburban cookie cutter chic... At least they not blasting bad music like some other trendy sushi joints. The food, very basic prep and execution, cooking 101 here.
-Hibachi is your standard mixed crap in a bowl.
-Udon noodles is the store bought kind, chewy and starchy.
-Bento Box is barely passable to be called Bento, mebbe Bentover Box.
-Sushi is your usual suspects which were edible but not memorable. But I did see Uni and Monkfish Liver, though.
-The Rolls... Oh, the Rolls. With names like Japanese Beaver Roll, Japanese Hot Dog, Mexican Roll, Red Bull Dog Roll and the disturbing Ocean & Land Roll... I think there's one called a Fat Roll and it comes with a gun inside it. How can your mouth not water with excitement or cream cheese?
Oh, Gaijin...

Hahahaha...man I just came across this on google and even being an older post it is still dead on. That place blows and the service is shit. Maybe they should visit some restaurants that are actually high end and take notes before trying to pass themselves off as something they aren't. It is amazing they've kept the doors open so long. Food is overpriced and far from memorable. Paying the check makes you feel like you just got robbed. Better food and better service at way to many other places around there to try it again.
