second warning sign: lots of empty tables at 8pm;
most food we ordered were either salty, thought it was okinawa style to have salty food, or very salty, so much that we had to return an order of wasabi squid
beer was about $60 a bottle, well, we were in lkf afterall so i thought there's no complain.
the problem came when we found in the bill an item listed as "open food", which was supposed to be an order of a $55 fried leaf (沖繩冰葉), instead it was a $160 dish.
checked with the english speaking waitress, who took our orders including this dish, and she explained to us that the leaf had sea urchin added and so it's pricier. when we disputed about the order, she just smiled and took off.
to be honest, if we had in mind that we ordered this more pricier dish, it's only fair for us to pay or beat ourself for not having asked for the price when ordering. but when we placed our order we had simply pointed at the picture of the $55 dish on the separate menu card and never thought she was "mistaking" us for ordering the one with sea urchin, which was not shown on the menu anyway. and we hadn't even noticed or tasted any sea urchin in it thinking back.
and since the dish was not listed on the menu, they could have charged us $1,600 or so!
my advice is, in case you are there and ordering anything off menu, check the price so that you can avoid running into this "misunderstanding" that we had. we can't help but felt like being cheated. the extra cost is one thing, our friday evening ruined is even more upsetting.
Other Info. :
to be fair, i must mention that the peanut flavored tofu was good and if you really must go there, that's a signature dish while everything else, salty. i wanted to give no point to 味道, 服務 and 抵食 categories but openrice required at least a point in each category....
