Thanks for the invite but I will decline. I am not a <a href="http://imonlyhereforthefood.com/2009/03/are-you-a-food-critic/" rel="nofollow">food critic</a> and, if I choose to go to a restaurant, it will be on my own terms. Don't get me wrong, I am flattered you have taken my post into consideration; however, if I write a post, I want it to be unbiased as possible.

I usually don't have any isses with visuals. After all, it is said people "eat" first with their eyes. As for simple, again, I am OK with that. However, it is just that the food underperformed. That's why I want to re-visit this place, hopefully with somebody else to have a second opinion, to make sure that was not an off-day (but given it was Friday the day I visited it, it shouldn't have). Unfortunately, I was not able to enquire about omakase as I was in a hurry to go back to work. But, if I do the (lunch) re-visit, I will certainly ask about it. Hey shokutsu,

The dishes do look simple and understated - very Japanese-like when looking at this as a whole, set menu item. Did you get a chance to enquire about the omakase?
