  • "Waitress was slow and disorganized. One appetizer and one main dish missing."

Food Quality

Pros:

  • "Sushi was half as good as I recall it there."
  • "Service was good but food was pretty bad. Got the shrimp and steak hibachi. Chewiest steak ever and shrimp over cooked."
  • "The dragon roll we got this time was pretty chewy, the shrimp tempura was a bit fishy, same with the California roll, the general tso chicken was slightly better than China Garden down the street but more expensive."
  • "The sushi taste like it was premade and pull out of the fridge, not fresh at all, the teriyaki chicken was dry, the calamari was rubbery."
  • "The katsu that I had was on the drier side and had a sugary chili sauce dumped instead of a katsu resembling sauce."

Atmosphere

Pros:

  • "Myst is a hip and impressive spot in the midst of an intoxicating and mysterious little town."

  • "The atmosphere with the original artwork is awesome."
  • "Nice cozy place with friendly staff and tasty drinks."
  • "The inside of the restaurant is neat and spacious with beautiful decorations and arts on walls."

Cons:

  • "When busy, it is very loud, which can make conversation impossible if you're soft spoken."
  • "The walls are covered with religious symbolism of paganism, mysticism, two paintings involving goats and who knows what else."
  • "The atmosphere was really confusing with the massively different types of art and mashed together Asian elements of food."
  • "The restaurant was not following COVID guidelines. Every single table was full inside and out."
  • "The tables were sticky and there was visible dirt and crumbs under the seats so cleanliness isn’t a priority."
  • "This place is a little crowded."
  • "The tables were too small."

Value

Pros:

  • "Great price for the quantity."
  • "Lunch prices are phenomenal and dinner prices are too! More food than you can eat in one sitting!"
  • "So given the fact that it was a tourist town, prices were pretty good."
  • "3 people, appetizers, meals, and 3 drinks came out to about $100. Very average pricing for above average food."
  • "The sushi and sashimi were well prepared and plated and my request for more pickled ginger was met without any hesitation."
  • "Good variety on the menu and prices were reasonable."

Cons:

  • "The food was good the portions were very generous what pissed me off the most and ruined it for me is an automatic tip."
  • "Prices went up from their menu and there was no warning of that."
  • "They raised their prices an INSANE amount without telling you."
  • "The size of these rolls were very small and not worth the price."
  • "The check was definitely big.. I wouldn’t go back at all.. waste of money and time."
  • "For over 22 dollars a plate you should get more stake, less noodles and rice."
  • "Asked for tofu instead of chicken, because I'm vegan, to which they gave me a few unflavored pieces of tofu with a 5 dollar upcharge... I could buy 2 blocks of tofu for that."
