Kirby's Korner: Sushi Axiom

I've gone to this place several times as I really enjoy their cooked dishes. I know, it's a sushi place and I'm eating non-sushi food. Oh well, I do what I do.

Service
This place had some decent service. I can only say decent since there is room for improvement as always. They were attentive and were quite helpful when asked.

Score: 3/5

Food
I am not a fan of uncooked meat or fish in general for that matter. However, I was at this place and had some nicely cooked pepper beef with sauteed vegetables. It was perfect. Very peppery in taste but with a nice asian flavor to it.

Score: 4/5

Decor
Very clean and up to date with today's culture. Since it was a sushi place, I would've thought something asian about the place in decor, however I did not really see anything. Very modern and 'hip' to today's culture. I did like the way it looked and was a very 'posh' place…is that how you say it? I'm not all that up to date on all the lingo.

Score: 5/5

Cost
Not the cheapest place in the world, but not expensive enough to break the bank. The price is appropriately matched to the food available. I love how it is presented as well, they obviously take a very good look at how to do so and it shows.

Score: 5/5

Overall Score: 4/5

Kirby's Korner: Thailicious

This restaurant was one of my first experiences with Thai cooking. And let me tell you, it was worth it.

Section 1: Service
The service here was great. We went in and were seated right away, given a minute or two to look over the menu, and then ordered. Very prompt on refilling our water glasses as well as making sure everything was cooked to our satisfaction without hovering.

Score: 5/5

Section 2: Food Quality
I had their Black Pepper Beef, which consisted of "beef, scallions, red pepper, onions and peppercorns in special black pepper sauce served on a hot plate." Directly quoted from their menu. Even though it wasn't as peppery as I was used to, which to me means tasting only the pepper, it was amazing. Very subtle flavors combining with the pepper spice to make a very tasty dish.

Score: 5/5

Section 3: Decor
This place has it's Thai theme going on, however some changes could be made. It is situated as a sort of hole in the wall in a shopping complex. They have a big purple wall that could probably be opened to show the actual cooking process which would also take away the feeling of being in a small box crammed between two other boxes in a UPS truck.

Score:> 2/5

Section 4: Cost
Kind of cheap for the quality of food you get. My dish filled me up and was about $12 USD and they could probably charge double that for the quality of it.

Score: 5/5

Overall Score: 4.25/5
