Review: Look this place up on the Internet and you’ll see this is  hit-or-miss right down the middle. The reviews are either love it or hate it  with the best reviews from 2008 and the worst from 2009/2010.  Its tucked away  in a shopping center in Plantation that most people will miss and drive right  by, run by 2 Japanese chefs, one of which that used to work at Hiro’s  Yakko-san, with minimal decor but an O.K. sake selection. There known for their  fish-any-way preparation where they take a fish in season and prepare it a few  ways. The prices seem reasonable for some items, steep for others.

I went there for the first time with a large group that raved about this place and were personal friends of the owner. The chef
gave us  his recommendations. The Crispy Bok Choi, Fish in Chili Sauce and the Dynamite  rolls were all deep-fried in the same oil, which tasted like the tray hadn’t  been cleaned out and the oil wasn’t hot enough. The sushi were either sauce  with rolls (not joking – The Dynamite looked like a huge plate of baby vomit)  or rolls with limp dry fish (the Rainbow and Tuna with Cilantro rolls looked  and tasted like roadkill).

Both the chicken teriyaki and salad were swimming in  sauce – it was like the chef just gave us different sauces and threw sushi
rolls or stuff in it. All of the sushi and entrees went unfinished except for  the edamame and shumai. Some of us ordered individual sushi and literally got  one piece of sushi with the netta the size of a
quarter.

Why a restaurant would give return customers/fans such a poor showing and not the signature fish-any-way or more sushi is beyond me.
