Not Again
You know, I've been here a few times and been pretty happy and drunk when I left. But not tonight. The food was so expensive and the wait staff -- from the model hostesses to the uptight servers -- were just too much. I will not be made to feel bad for leaving only a 20% tip, but the waitress didn't feel bad about glaring at me as I left. Good food is one thing; feeling uncomfortable after you drop 200 dollars because a waitress wants more money is entirely another. I'm going to waste my time around a more courteous group of people. I'm never going back.

Messy
Went last night and the place was a disaster. It was not crowded, just looked like a party just cleared out. Not very chill vibe. Food is great but very expensive, as is the Sake. The service was a joke but nobody really cared once those seabass skewers arrived.

Excellent
Went there tonight & it was very very good. Food: We tried 7 dishes. The ones that are must tries are the wagyu tataki, seafood risotto and the big eye tuna tart. I would skip the uni chiwamushi. Everything was delightful & very flavorful. A lot of truffle oil used though, almost in every dish. This is not the type of place where I would order a california roll, or a spicy tuna roll... Of course if you order these it would be considered too expensive. Atmosphere: Like a cozy trendy apt. Nice. Value: Pretty good value considering overpriced places like Morrimoto...etc. For the food, it is excellent. Service: Again, really good. Not overbearing & attentive.

Overpriced, third-rate sushi
Good food, but not great Japanese/sushi. The maki and sushi here were average. Had shiriyaki sushi at Sushi Yasuda (excellent, high quality btw) the night before, and the one here was just a complete joke. The eel was not the right temp...seemed too cold. The Hot Dice Eel was just OK. The pork belly dish here is nothing special. Had a dessert (banana dim sum) and appetizer that were great, luckily. Tab was over 200 for two people, which is ridiculous for what I thought it would be...fine sushi. Instead, it was a contemporary restaurant that happens to "try" to serve contemporary sushi/Japanese. Nice space/ambience...probably better to go to this place just to lounge (full menu available), but not for a mult-course dinner.

Resting on their laurels
I've been to Bond St numerous times over the past few years. At first, I loved this place. I would take family, friends, and clients to Bond St because it WAS a consistently outstanding experience. The last 3 times, however, have been real disappointments. The food is served cold, the presentation has become sloppy and the waitresses become overtly irritated with anyone not familiar with the restaurant. It is thoroughly embarassing to have your guests treated that way. While the food can be great, it's no longer worth it.

Good and not so good
The food here is pricey!! But it can be very good, elegant and imaginative, epecially the dipping sauces that accompany the appetizers. That said, you would expect to certain level of care and consideration. This was not he case on a recent visit when we were served a severely undercooked shrimp appetizer, that was essentially raw, and inedible with unappetizing taste and slimy texture. We both spit it out. The table next to us has the same dish and it was cooked and fine. So this was obvioulsy an oversight in the kitchen. We weren't charged for it, but nothing was done to accommade us for this extremely unpleasant experience! No apology, no complimentary drinks, nothing! Ruined the entire dining experience!! This restaurant should know better.
