Iron Chef House - Merrifield

Had needed, from water to a simple request for a menu. The atmosphere was cramped and noisy, with tables packed closely together and servers rushing past us. Overall, a very disappointing dining experience that I would not recommend to anyone.

The sushi was terrible. I have been eating raw fish for ten years, and this was the first time I encountered bones in the sashimi or the fish still being frozen. Additionally, every non-sushi dish we ordered had rotten lettuce. I wish I could share pictures, but I will not be returning to this restaurant anytime soon.

Ordered takeout of the salmon avocado roll and the spicy tuna. Both were very subpar and the salmon has almost no taste- very low quality raw fish. The wasabi had no flavor. My boyfriend got the salmon teriyaki and shrimp tempura and felt they were ok at best.

The food at this restaurant is incredible! The staff is friendly and welcoming. It was my first time trying sushi, and Vivian gave me a detailed explanation of how to eat it. The service was exceptional. Thanks to Vivian, I now feel like a sushi expert. This place is definitely a must-visit in Mosaic. I give it a perfect 10 out of 10 rating.

The ramen is literally just a tossed salad and last night?s spaghetti. Charitably, it looks like a 4th grader made it. Assorted raw vegetables thrown into a bath of noodles and salt water. I tasted it a few times but honestly I cannot stop laughing at what was going into my mouth. If shaved raw carrot and hearty slices of red bell pepper are your thing (no egg, either), then order this bizarre glorified tossed salad and enjoy your authentic Japanese meal.
