    Great experience - only complaint was the positioning of tables under A/C - woke up with flu. Will return !

    I went for lunch and only ate a salad which included prawns. The prawns were chopped up and I couldn't even see or taste them. It looked like a bowl of cole slaw. Not what I was expecting, and it wasn't good. Everything else may be wonderful, but that salad was a fail. My companion enjoyed her sushi. The server was excellent.

    Food not the quality you would expect for the price you pay. Meals lacked flavor. As an Asian family we expected alot more.
