Miso soup tasted at least a few days old. Sushi quality was probably the worst I've had. The only napkin given at the table was taken back before I got to use it, makes me feel they intend to reuse it. The outdoor seating was a nicetouch.

Had the best chicken satay served with a delicious peanut sauce, a green paper roll, and tofu pad Thai I wanted to try everything! Everything was amazing, not greasy, fresh. The pad Thai was probably the best I've had! Cannot wait to return!

The sashimi was pretty fresh and there was one white fish that they wrapped around shiso which I thought was a nice touch since I love shiso. The ramen was really very good, but they should consider renaming it, because it 's not what we expected at all. When you see beef ramen on the menu at a sushi/Japanese-ish restaurant, you aren 't expecting clearly Chinese style noodle soup with mala flavoring, which is what we got. It 's more like a beef Mala noodle soup, which was really good, but that 's because we happen to like that too. Service was attentive and started us with ice water as soon as we sat down. They did say it was $6 extra to switch out tuna in the sashimi combo for something else since we don 't really like tuna, which was ridiculous, but I think there was some sort of miscommunication going on. Some of the special rolls looked a little overpriced but interesting. 3.5 stars and I would come back to try other things for sure

Also, not every Asian location is pan-Asian. For shaaaame upstate NY!!!! Will return to NYC soon but was culture-shocked a bit more than I thought from the area tbh
