• Food.
• Owner/server/manager/cleanliness of restaurant.

“The server was nice but was not aware of Spanish dishes and the manager was unavailable to talk to us. We decided to dine here because of the atmosphere however I don't think the owner puts a lot of time in to make sure the guest are comfortable and enjoying themselves. It seemed all they're interested in is taken your money. I wish them better luck in the future. Maybe they could clean up the some place. It seemed that they don't spend a lot time worried about hospitality and food for thought for the entire staff treat people how you'd would like to be treated. The only positive side was the food I can tell the kitchen staff may work a little harder. The presentation was excellent and worth the buck. However, the server didn't deserve a tip even though we gave her one, due to her working environment. Last but not the least I feel the health department should take a better look at whats really going on in this particular restaurant.”

• Nothing to remark on.
• Flavorless food.

“It boggles my mind that with pricey Johns Hopkins nearby, there are no better restaurants around. This place is just a mediocrity. Bland unseasoned food, wasabi with no bite whatsoever, generic decor. The seafood pancake is almost ok, just far too greasy; the avocados in the avocado rolls are watery and flavorless; the vegetable teriyaki is a plateful of gummy noodles soaked in some pointless brown liquid, with a few scraps of vegetables tossed in for garnish; the miso soup is dark and nowhere near subtle. I've gone back a few times hoping it would be better, but won't return.”

• Food is usually very good.
• Service this time was rude, unacceptable, dumb staff working that night.

“This restaurant had been one of my favorites since the early 90s until Saturday. If you ask that your pasta be cooked al dente you'll be told it's cooked in batches and you have to eat it that way or you'll have to order something else and then the waitress will argue with you instead of leaving the table to ask the chef to cook your pasta properly. Then she'll tell you that you're disturbing the other customers and when you leave in a huff with your dinner half/not eaten she'll tell you to have a nice evening.”

“Kawasaki's is the best sushi restaurant. The food is always fresh and the selection plentiful. It is always a treat to visit. You are greeted warmly and the service fast and efficient.”
