We started with some sushi. The tuna crunch roll ($7.50) was a generous serving and absolutely fresh, making the price actually cheap for what you got. Ditto the volcano roll ($13.50) in terms of taste and freshness, but this one was overpriced, despite being as spicy as advertised. Drinks are expensive here. Hot green tea ($2.25) is fine, but apple juice ($2.75) is ridiculous.

What's not ridiculous are the entrees. They tend toward expensive on paper, but make up for it with both volume and flavor. The grilled salmon ($20) can be prepared with a flavor, and the resulting miso salmon exuded taste, though it was slightly undercooked. The grilled chicken ($17.00) came with a similar choice of herbs or flavor, and makes for a great healthy choice. If you tend toward the combos ($18.00-$24.00), you'll be presented with a platter full of tempura (perfectly battered) or fish or chicken skewers (slightly too crisp). On balance, it's a nice meal at a fair price, but it may take more than one entree to fill you up - sushi helps. Also, avoid the children's meals, which are overpriced, too small, and while they come served in a neat Shinkansen bullet train dish, this doesn't appear to be yours to keep (at least they scooped ours right up).

Our server was attentive, quick, and ever-present. You will even find tables available without a reservation, if you're early in the day and not late at night.

The noise level can be best described as boisterous, and full of families. Yet there is enough room for the tables (overcrowding is a perennial problem at Disney restaurants), the lighting and theming are fun, and you may even have a great view of the World Showcase lagoon.
