we went on a sunday night and it wasn't crowded. the staff seated us quickly and we had a model/waiter who was attentive for a while but then seemed to lose interest. the food was delicious. for appetizers we had the quail and octopus salad, both of which were fresh and tasty; we liked the rice powder garnish with octopus. for mains we had the shrimp curry and fish curry, both of which were rich and flavorful, with subtle deep textures. highly recommended. we also enjoyed two bottles of sake which added $50 to our tab--and if not for that the bill would have been more of a bargain. while a lot of diners ding this place for lousy service we recommend going on an off-peak night and enyoying the food, which is really worth it.
