Since Otaku Japanese Cuisine wants to astroturf, here is an actual review
Full disclosure: I went to them during their pre opening event and actually thought they were good. That has changed.
TL;DR: Poop from a butt, maybe even shit from an ass.
Went there last weekend with my girlfriend. She ordered:
- 1 salmon roll
- salmon sashimis
Side note, im on mobile and it keeps trying to correct to salmonella, probably fitting though.
I ordered
- 1 takoyaki appetizer
- 1 sampler plate appetizer
- 1 chasu ramen
She said her salmon was all okay but not amazing, but to be slightly fair to the restaurant she is a raw salmon fiend. Probably a bear in a goth girl costume but whatever.
Onto my food:
The sampler:
- the karaage was fried to absolute fuck
- the shumai was okay
- the gyoza was alright
- the rangoons were good but honestly if any chef ever managed to make bad rangoons, id throw hands. Its just fucking cream cheese, fried dough, and whatever else you want to pretend youre putting in there. Krab in their case I guess.
- my ramen was absolutely not chasu, in fact even calling it miso based would be generous. I am 99.9999% sure they actually just made a fuck off big pot of maruchan ramen and were scooping out servings as needed. The broth was flavorless, the noodles were soggy, and the bamboo chutes were literally rotten. I dont even remember if they included the pork because I was so enthralled by this monument to failure placed in front of me.
- the absolutely insane part is that the takoyaki was actually really good, and that was definitely the hardest thing to make on probably their entire menu
$76 after tip
3/10, and that's after adding 2 points cuz Wild Honey is like 300 feet away
Fuck off
