Kiso Island

Kiso Island on 2718 Main Street. We recommend not going here. We came a little after 4pm for an early dinner which is when they also have "happy hour" - 20% off eat in. The place is a nice size, actually quite large. No one was there when we came in though, and the whole time we were there, only 2 others came. The seating/decor was a little confusing, they had the traditional japanese looking booths which we sat in, but then they also had tables that looked like they belonged in a fancy chinese restaurant or something, it almost had a victorian feel to it. weird... Anyways, after looking through the menu, the prices were fair, but we were pretty happy with 20% off the menu price.

Bryan ordered the Unagi Don, which I believe was $7.95 before the 20% off.
He wasn't too thrilled about this one. Firstly, everything was kinda dry. And he was upset with the portion size as well, hardly any rice. He gives his meal a 4 out of 10.
 Bryan pretending to be happy with this experience lol

I ordered this Bento box, BUT since it was on a different menu, I didn't get 20% off :( deceiving...
 My bento box was 8.95 I think. It had a salad which was average. The veggie tempura had too thick of a batter; it wasn't light and crispy at all. California roll was probably the best part, because the beef yakisoba wasn't very pleasant. They tasted plain like there wasn't any sauce, and wow were they every greasy! so oily I couldn't finish it and didn't want to! yuck! my meal is a definite 3 out of 10, the 3 goes to the roll.

The tea served was pretty bland too. And to top it off, when we went up to pay, the lady forgot to give the 20% off for Bryan's meal. When we told her, she looks at the receipt and checks their menu. She's either new or thinks we're trying to rip them off.. Well in the end she applied the discount. 

Kiso Island gets a 3.5 out of 10 overall
save your money for elsewhere!

Happy eating! xoxo,
Dina & Bryan
