Aoyama Chinese & Japanese Cuisine

Be careful to order sushi or a standard Japanese entree at this Chinese/Japanese restaurant. If not you may be in trouble, as we experienced the non-Japenese entrees can be very bad, and the staff will not agree with you. We ordered the Japanese entree Beef Udon and the non-Japaneae entree baked "Black Bass" at the restaurant, just because it looked attractive on the menu, and our server agreed with our choice. The Udon entree was delicious, and even had very nicely marinated and cooked beef as well as a rich tasty broth. Unfortunately, the "Black Bass" entree was the opposite, as it was not fresh, and not cooked well, with a mushy consistency. When we complained that we found the non-Japanese entree sub-par to the server she told us she would let the manager know. She then told us the manager disagreed with our complaint and would not remove the entree, but would give us a free dessert. We agreed and received the smallest "free" dessert we have ever seen, which was three small soup spoons with a small scoop of ice cream on each spoon. Beware going to this restaurant if you may consider ordering non-Japanese.

A little pricey, but has good sushi. Sashimi lunch special bento box is good. Includes Miso soup, california roll, goyoza, rice, and salad. $18. $26 by the time you are done with tax and tip. Next time had the Teriyaki Salmon box. Very good.

We were looking to have saki with our dinner. No beer, saki or adult beverages. So we did not get to experience this place.

Very disappointing food considering the inflated prices. I would expect this level of quality from a mall food court, not from a well known high-end Japanese/Chinese restaurant. The shrimp was so mushy, I could barely eat it. How could you screw up a basic Chinese shrimp with vegetables dish? I can make a better shrimp stir fry at home. The other entree was bland with no sauce so we had to dump soy sauce all over it. Two out of three sushi rolls were okay. One of the premium rolls had an undetermined topping on it (a strange substitution for what was supposed to be on it per the menu). I did not appreciate that surprise when paying $18 for this roll. We will not be back.

The food is very good, but very expensive as well. Considering the location, an affluent town so the business is still good.
