text: This would be my second visit here. The first time I was not impressed with the carbonara. \n\nFor this second visit, we had ordered a plethora of food to taste. \n3 way mussels - This was interesting since it was presented in the escargot dish prepared in three styles. I like the variety of the flavors and my favorite was the butter parsley. I did not like that there were 2 small mussels and would have preferred to have one large mussel. \n\nUni Tomato Cream Pasta - was not Uni enough. You can tell there was uni with some of the pieces in the pasta but the taste was not strong enough. I could only tell there was some uni by the after taste it left in my mouth. Maybe the sauce was too creamy? The tomato was more of an accent than for flavor. \n\nKurobuta Tonkatsu - sat on tomato sauce which was what made it Italian. The tomato sauce did not bring anything to the dish, rather than texture and color. The tonkatsu itself was great because it lightly battered and the pork tasted like thin layers of juicy pork.  \n\nSoft Shell Crab with balsamic- fried and light. I thought the balsamic would overpower the crab but it didn't. The vinegar added a small tart taste which brought out the fried fresh crabby flavor.\n\nSalad - We also ordered a salad to round out the dishes and add some greens. It was straight forward and good but not memorable enough for me to describe in more detail. \n\nI know they are suppose to specialize in pasta Japanese Italian style but I don't buy it. I would only come back for the appetizers and to try their desserts.
