Not there yet, but I see possibility. The yakitori was decent if not spectacular quality, the soup was tasty, and I really don't mind rice with a bit of authentic flavoring sprinkled on. The pickles were...limp. But overall, I'll be back, maybe in a couple of weeks. Yes, the place looks a bit sparse, maybe more concept than delivery at this point, but that, too will probably improve. Besides, they just opened! Give them a few hours of shakedown time, already! (Tough, unforgiving audience, these Midtown Lunch types!) Based on the bento box I just had, I’d say Kushi-Q is promising.

It was AWFUL! I got the Tori bento box which is 3 skewers of chicken on rice. The chicken is all bad cuts of gristly dark meat and had a fishy taste to it. To top it off, it was greasy. It is by far the biggest waste of $7 I have spent in a long time. Oh and they are only taking cash today because their terminals are not working (which I understand happens, but after tasting this culinary debacle, it just added to the entire experience). The only positive: the dipping machine Sara described does look cool. Since I didn’t like being called someone’s disciple on here, I decided to give Kushi-Q a taste. It was AWFUL!
