"Decor and ambience was very cool. Very inviting. We sat at the bar so we wouldn't have to wait. Someone helped us right away with drinks, appetizers, etc. She was very helpful and very attentive. We went all out and got some cocktails, beer, and sake bombs. The menu had a decent selection of drink options but alot of it was unavailable, which is understandable given the current supply chain issue. For appetizers we opted for the edamame (always a classic, always good),Thai coconut shrimp (to die for, a must of you're looking for a great app), and beef negimaki (I probably wouldn't order it again but I'm glad I tried it). Sooo many choices for Sushi Rolls! The problem with that is, you don't know what'sactually good! We ordered the Chef's special roll, Jaguar roll, Honey roll, and the table side presented Fire roll. I give these rolls a 3 out of 5, unfortunately. Presentation was good, I probably just failed to order the right ones thatwould personally hit the spot. We wanted to try one of the Thai main dishes so we selected the Pad Thai. One of my favorite noodle dishes. Wu's House did it justice. I'd say 4 out of 4. Enough tang and sweetness to satisfy my tastebuds! From the hibachi grill we got the steak, shrimp, and salmon combo with a couple of sides of golden sauce (aka egg yolk sauce). I'd say it was what to be expected of the hibachi presentation. Overall it was a great experience, goodservice, and good food! I would definitely go back to give the sushi rolls another chance."

"At 2 p.m., there were only 2 other diners in the restaurant besides the staff. When we arrived, I informed the waitress that I had made a reservation for 2 under my name. Although she acknowledged me, I was not confident that she would confirm my reservation through OpenTable. The main reason I chose this restaurant was because I could book a reservation using OpenTable. I had specified in my reservation note that I did not like cilantro and did not want it in any of my dishes. We ordered the spring rolls to share, which were extremely greasy. I also ordered the Pho #1 and asked if it contained cilantro. The waitress informed me that it did, but it could be omitted. However, when my dish arrived, there was cilantro on top. I brought this to the attention of the waitress who had taken my order, and she promptly apologized and took it back. I expressed my concern to my husband that I hoped they would not just remove the cilantro but instead prepare a new dish. The Pho was quickly returned to me, but as I began eating, I discovered a cilantro leaf and proceeded to find more pieces of cilantro. The waitress returned, and I showed her the cilantro I had removed. Apologizing once again, she took the Pho back for a second time. When she brought me a fresh bowl, the veggies were served on a separate plate. Unfortunately, by this point, I did not have enough time to finish my dish, as my husband had already completed his stir fry. I managed to eat about half of the Pho before we paid and left. Overall, I did not enjoy my lunch experience. None of it was exceptional, and I have had much better meals elsewhere. Therefore, I believe a rating of 3 stars was too generous for an average meal, and it should really be 2.5 stars."
