Totally Disappointed. Crab cake and sablefish tasted like potato patties. Ebi supposedly be Japanese sweet prawns. However it is simply some cooked prawns. Server was rude and unfriendly. Had to request to clear the table. We didn't request for the bill. She just left the bill on the table and walked away. I thought other table's bill came with some candies.
