Dined in recently and maybe it was just a slower night, but it was extremely difficult having to get any the attention of any waiter/waitress. They finally asked for our drink order 30 min after we sat down, but only because we went to the host stand to ask. Service was still slow after that but it did improve. The food is really good but I don't think I'll dine-in again. Sashimi: 4/5Salmon Lover: 5/5Sushi Special: 4/5Torched Salmon Press: 5/5Volcano Maki: 4/5Gao's Chicken: 4/5

Very nice service for sure, but it has a bit of a barren quality when the dining areas are not full- wish they could add some kind of warmth or texture to the restaurant decor to make it feel less sterile. Sushi quality was indeed indeed good and we also had the uni shots. We used a parking app and parked at the Cambria hotel valet which was super convenient across the street, there are cheaper options but a further walk away.

If they don’t respect customers don’t respect them. It’s a 3 hour wait FOR WHAT. Just don’t

I arrive at the restaurant and after a waiter watches me stand at one end of the restaurant for 5 minutes, he tells me to go to the front of the restaurant. Then, I tell the girl at the front my name, and she doesn’t check the food that’s already next to her and says the waiter is going to go get it and disappears. Uhh, when did you guys have the chance to communicate that because he doesn’t know my name? She comes back and I have to ask her to take a look at the orders next to her before she reluctantly says one of them is mine. No sorry for making you wait or whatever. Quality in service is way different from when this place opened doors. Don’t recommend. Owners need to come back to run the show. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: $20–30
