This is the chawanmushi. It was layered with chicken broth on top for added flavor. This made the egg way too watery and was more drinkable than scoopable.

Appetizers were pickles. These were ok. Nothing really exceptional about them.

The miso soup was also not much to write home about. Just a  regular dashi diluted miso.

I ordered the Japanese skewer set for $178. The photo looked like this with various little salts for dipping.

In actuality, I didn't get any salts for dipping. I guess it was for show? It did come with a super tiny bowl of rice.

There was a total of eight skewers. From left to right: corn, chicken wings, sardine, chicken thigh. The corn wasn't very sweet. Not as sweet as I expect from Japanese  corn so I'm suspecting this is not Japanese corn. The chicken wings were pretty good and clearly the standout. They were still juicy and perfectly seasoned. The sardine was not too fishy in taste. The chicken thigh had a nice spread of teriyaki sauce.

From left to righ:  tsukune, chicken thigh with leek, shitake mushrooms and leeks. The tsukune was tender with lovely bits of soft bone minced in. But the raw egg yolk that is usually used to accompany it was not provided. The chicken with leek was cooked well with a good basting of teriyaki sauce. The shitake mushrooms were juicy as well. And the leeks were ok.

The dessert was matcha warabi mochi. This was chewy with not much matcha taste.

Overall, the food was decent enough and for that price, I really cannot complain.  But service ... what is it about the Lubuds group of restaurtants? Or is it just the ANA series of their group? Because this is the third restaurant from this group where I have received the most horrible service. The only one with good service was The Pho and that was a food court. When I arrived, a staff walked by me and said please wait. So, I did. But then the staff came back and walked right past me and out the door. When he did come back, he ignored me again and went off to serve dishes. I thought to myself ... ok. He's probably just the waiter, so waited. But this same person came back and finally asked me how many people. I said one and he told me to wait while he cleaned a table for me. Are they that understaffed?When  I decided to order, it took me a long time to get anyone's attention. It seemed the staff were always so busy cleaning tables to look around. I saw several other people waving hands in the air to attract attention.  It got worse when food was just slid across to me from another table. Are you that lazy to not walk one step forward to place the food in front of me instead of reaching over from another table and plopping it down? This happened for my miso soup, my chawanmushi and my dessert. Each time served by different people in the same manner so it wasn't just that one person. I expect food thrown down in front of me if  I'm at a dai pai dong or a cha chan teng. But I'm not at one of those places. Trying to attract attention to pay for my bill was also aggravating as no one again looked around while I waved my hand in the air for at least 5 minutes. When I finally caught someone's attention, he acknowledged and never came back. I waited 10 minutes and wondered ... where was my bill? Aggravating to try to attract attention again just so I could pay and get out of there! No matter how good the food tasted, the service was just horrible and for that, I won't be back.
