This is my second time coming to this restaurant. This restaurant makes me feel like I am in a restaurant inside a themed park. Faux wood beams on the ceiling and fake brick on the wall. I don't even mind the chandeliers and wall mounted candles with light bulbs. But, what made me burst out laughing was wall mounted candles with light bulbs that moved time to time....I guess they are trying to mimic the real candle??? I thought my friend was crazy when he told me about the candles on the wall moving. Don't go there for their decor. It's so badly done that I thought the Bayou restaurant inside the Pirates of Caribbean ride at Disneyland was classier.
Nonetheless, I like this restaurant for their fantastic service and good food.
Their breads were warm but probably not baked at the location. 
Shrimp tempura ($15) was very fresh and yummy. The batter was light and crunchy. The dipping sauce was more Thai than Japanese, sweet and spicy.
Potato wrapped Chilean Sea Bass ($36) was very good. Slight fish smell but it tasted very fresh. I think the fish should smell and taste like fish not like anything else. It was so tender inside and crunch crust with the potato strings on the outside was nice contrast of textures. 
We also ordered Beef 
We ordered the chocolate 
The Ginger bread pudding ($8) was ok. I love bread pudding and I do make a bread pudding is to die for. This particular one was way too sweet for my taste and I think my croissant bread pudding is way better than this one. I would recommend this place for their wonderful service and interesting mix of dishes from different cultures.
