Huge Rip Off! Even Tourists Should Beware!


Pros: Amosphere is fun at first
Cons: Way overpriced (plus sneaky extra charges), mediocre to poor food, annoying service

While the atmosphere is amazing, the theatrics of the staff get stale pretty quick. The food is a mishmash of styles, with a consistent emphasis on attempted style over substance. The sushi is of poor quality and minimal quantity, and often inexplicably covered up, as the Spring Snow Roll, which has large glops cream cheese over a small portion of eel for now apparent reason.

Obviously, the food is not supposed to be the main draw-- like Mars 2112 or Jekyll & Hyde, the "experience" is what's being sold, but it's way too expensive (it's difficult to escape for less than $100 per person) and grating (the wait staff keep screaming the same phrases as they open and close the doors to your dining area) to merit consideration even for tourists.

Beware! The food and poor service are more dangerous than the fake swords, and even if you survive through the meal, the cheeck will kill you.

I understand that the concept isn't for everybody and I suppose some new yorkers may be too stuck up or full of themselves to let loose for a day...

but I couldn't DISAGREE more with this review...
I'll post my own...
