1/5 A L. 2 years ago on Google
I
just
moved
to
Miami
from
Las
Vegas
leaving
a
100%
authentic
Japanese
Izakaya
restaurant
I
went
to
for
6
years.
I
know
this
because
I
lived
in
Japan
for
4
years.
This
restaurant
is
not
a
true
Japanese
restaurant,
let
alone
Izakaya
or
run
by
anyone
who
knows
Japanese
food.
First
the
atmosphere
is
not
welcoming,
it
smells
of
clorox
and
the
woman
in
charge
is
dressed
like
a
nurse.
The
smell
of
Clorox
is
overwhelming.
It
is
freezing
cold
and
there
are
some
lightbulbs
blinking
that
need
to
be
replaced.
For
the
food,
the
tako
su
they
used
what
is
the
seaweed
you
put
in
seaweed
salad.
Traditionally
dried
wakame
seaweed
is
used
for
this
dish.
The
tako
was
cut
very
thick
and
rough,
had
serrations
from
the
dull
knife
that
was
used
and
was
not
cooked
enough.
Very
thick
and
chewy.
You
should
never
see
serration
marks
ever.
This
was
akin
to
a
Korean
style
dish
and
horribly
executed.
The
tuna
tataki
was
not
correct.
It
was
not
seared
at
all.
It
appeared
to
be
barely
browned
by
a
torch.
The
sauce
was
not
correct
either.
We
only
ate
a
few
pieces.
The
wahoo
misoyaki
was
ok,
borderline
over
cooked
but
definitely
not
anything
to
be
impressed
by.
Over
all
in
my
opinion,
the
reviews
on
this
restaurant
are
very
misleading
as
this
is
not
a
true
Japanese
Izakaya
in
any
form.
Considering
the
location
I
was
expecting
more,
especially
after
reading
the
reviews
but
I'm
learning
that
there
is
no
really
good
traditional
Japanese
restaurants
here
in
Miami
let
alone
Asian
restaurants
in
general.
This
is
a
struggle
for
me
leaving
a
healthy
Asian
food
culture
in
Nevada
and
the
west
coast
in
general.
Really
that's
the
only
thing
I
miss
about
that
side
of
the
country
after
living
there
12
years.
