Soi & Sake

For Monday evening when we were there for dinner, the place was moderately occupied. We had booked in advance through known folks, so we were expected and had a good table marked out for us. The place is quite substantial, but seemed to be running below potential with many sections unoccupied, nevertheless the overall atmosphere was reasonable if not what it would have been if it was firing on all cylinders We had Sushi of many kinds in a boat and a few speciality ones outside the platter. They were all uniformly good. The sashimi was composed of firm slices, cut a little thicker than at other places, but richer for it. The tuna and salmon were buttery, rich and melt in mouth. The various fish were all fresh and carried their original flavors without a trace of decay. The Ramen bowl was similarly deliciously hearty. The teppanyaki style chicken had perfect balance of tangy, sweet and spice. Overall the food was not high cuisine but delicious, hearty meal that you may expect to have in a solid middle of the road, soul food approach. As such, probably even better than the fancier takes. The service was where there a bit of lack, it was super friendly and polite, but was mostly made up of very young fresh blood, who were just beginning to learn the ropes. Almost at all times our servers had to go get their seniors to help, which they did, but just took a while. The bartender who was doubling up as a server too to help the young lot dished up a very good dirty martini, something that hit the spot. Overall, a truly good experience !!

Great ambience and generally a good place to sit, eat, and drink. The staff is extremely considerate and accomodated a request that I had, pretty promptly. Tried soup and noodles here and both turned out to be healthy and yummy. This is a good place to unwind and relax on a Sunday afternoon, if you are in the mood for Japanese and Chinese cuisine.

Loved the ambience and the furniture was comfortable to sit in for a couple of hours. Placement of tableware and the rotating centre for our table of 6 was just right. Prompt service by the staff, who were courteous and helpful. Our order was yummy. Our portion of one each of 4 dishes was enough for the 5 of us.
