PROSCle plant friendly server pan meerrot pork dumplings/pop stickers were good. Conscious rice with steak: drowned in soy sauce and the steak had a good taste on it. not sure what it was about!? spicy tuning roll: (we order this everywhere we go) kind of sloppy on the surface and much too much red paprika. I like it spicy, but it bleeded the red pfeffer. sweetheart roll: traditionally this is a roll filled with meat and with thunfisch sashimi. this came out more like a fish stick in a banana dish that looked out on soy paper so, now I can feel better about my pouring assessment.

I ordered a lunch special that included two rolls and a salad, along with a Submarine roll. Unfortunately, the salad came with ginger dressing that was either rancid or spoiled—I couldn't even eat it. The two regular rolls were acceptable, but the Submarine roll, while a decent size for $16, just wasn't fresh. The fish was at room temperature and chewy, the rolls lacked flavor, and the rice was only mediocre. The atmosphere felt humid, but the service was quick and attentive. Overall, it was a rather strange experience. It reminded me of a Chinese buffet, but for nearly $30 for lunch, that's not what I expected. I can't speak to their other offerings, which may be good, but based on this visit, I won't be returning.
