by Cassie M. on If you really like sushi, do yourself a favor and do not come here. My boyfriend and I went here for lunch today and we were sorely disappointed. I feel as if you can really judge a sushi restaurant by it's gyoza (or appetizers, for that matter).. and so when the gyoza came out greasy and flavorless I started to worry. My boyfriend order this sushi lunch special and I ordered a specialty roll (the green dragon, their most popular roll). The Green Drag Roll was mushy. Even the eel sauce tasted funky. My boyfriend's nigiri was so fishy smelling that we couldn't even eat it. It also came with a spicy tuna roll, which was the most bland spicy tuna I had ever tasted. Normally I don't rail on restaurants this bad, but I don't want other people to be fooled by the positive rateclubs reviews and think it's good. Save your money (ours cost $40 for two people) and go to piranha or even sushi niichi (off 24th). Barchi does get two stars because the service was really good. Our waiter was SO nice and even brought us a chocolate covered strawberry at the end of our meal.
by Minh N. on This by far is the worst club I've been too. Sure, I don't like the whole upscale clubbing scene to begin with, but for my friends...I'll tolerate it. This night was totally pushing the envelope for me. Extremely rude, douchey bouncers x100. Total power trip and kept yelling at us to move forward. No dumbass...your big ass ego is in the way. Spoke to us like we were children. One even grabbed me by the wrist. WTF? Don't touch me please. So we were a bit late for guest list (our bad) due to pre-partying. We were told my the promoter that we had to get a table and 2 bottles to get our entire group in (20+ folks). It was $350 per bottle plus $200 included tip. What did they give us? A bottle of Absolut and some Acai crap. Seriously...for $900? For shit alcohol? Fail. Even with shelling out that kinda money for bottle service...the staff was still rude. Utterly disappointed. The inside decor was whatever (I heard so much about it), the music was eh, and the dance floor was tiny. I ended up having a good time anyway due to good company and alot of booze. But NEVER again. MyHouse, you can kiss MyAss.
by Richie Casada on It's been a while since I've been to an actual supperclub, but the luxuriant Hotel Nikko on the edge of the Tenderloin has a nice one in the compact Rrazz Room. From the outside, it's an odd set-up as you can't tell how to enter. There's a snippy hostess who holds court at table in front of the entrance. I was reprimanded for going inside the room without her permission, but I got confused since no one was at the table. So honey, I don't get mad, I don't even get even...I just rateclub. Once inside, it's really a gathering of little tables in front of a tiny stage. Jamie W. and I sat on a second tier that had more relaxing banquettes. There's a two-drink minimum beyond whatever you pay for the show itself. It does add up since beer is $6, well drinks around $10 and specialty cocktails in the $12-14 range. So make sure to nurse what you get, even if it is 80% ice. And what pray tell did I see in the Rrazz Room? "Simply Barbra". Yes, a cabaret performer named Steven Brinberg does a whole nightclub act impersonating La Streisand. Having seen the free, over-the-top drag show at the understandably overcrowded Marlena's, I was pleased to find this one goes in the other direction with Brinberg doing a quietly accurate send-up. In a glittery Donna Karan-style outfit, he/she sang reasonably well - and sometimes quite impressively - in the Streisand style, but what struck me was how vividly accurate his phrasing was from her old recordings. I have to say the best bits were in between the songs..."Fans would come up to me and ask why I drink hot liquids before I sing, and I would say - 'Was I talking to you?'" He also does a virtual gallery of celebrity voices on an extended version of Sondheim's "I'm Still Here" and a hilarious duet with himself on "You Don't Bring Me Flowers". It was an entertaining hour or so, just long enough to let me enjoy my two sequential mojitos. The show itself was just $20 thanks to Goldstar's half-price tickets. I'd definitely come back for other shows. I see Lucy Lawless is coming with her own act. Hmmm, or maybe it's Steven Brinberg in "Simply Lucy".
