This was our second visit and we brought four friends with us this time. We enjoyed everything on our first visit. However, just speaking for ourselves, not including the other 4 guests, we were disappointed with our food. We ordered the chicken teriyaki bowl and it was, at best, fair. The chicken was tasteless and very dry, as was the rice. Our gyoza was fine and the soft shell crab tempura was ok. We are hesitant about coming back any time soon. Our service was very good. I don't remember her name but the waitress was extremely friendly and very pleasant.
