Despite ordering only a small amount of food, we had trouble getting everything we ordered. When we asked the waiter about the missing items, he seemed hesitant and implied that we had already eaten them. Additionally, when I tried to pay with a virtual credit card, I was told it would not work, even though it worked fine at another location the next day. The restaurant was not busy, but it took a long time to receive our food. It's a shame because the food was really good, but the service left much to be desired. I can't imagine what it would be like on a busy night.

However, we were disappointed to find out that the coupon was only valid for sushi and sashimi. The only non-sushi option on the menu was a dish with three shrimp, which seemed to have been warmed up in a microwave. The only cooking equipment we saw was a toaster oven. The people in my group enjoyed the sushi, but it took two hours for us to be served. The prices were on the higher side, and overall, I felt like there are better restaurants where I can spend my money and not have to wait so long. I would have been more forgiving if the restaurant was busy, but it was not.

The sushi lived up to our expectations - it was fresh, beautifully presented, and delicious! The prices were reasonable and our group of four had a delightful dinner. The restaurant is located in a great spot in the downtown area. However, the ambiance was a bit lacking. It felt like we were in a renovated bar with too many TVs and mirrors on the walls. The service was friendly, but it would be helpful if the staff had more knowledge about the dishes and special sakes on the menu. Despite these minor shortcomings, the food was excellent and we would definitely return for more delicious sushi.

Unpretentious yet carefully made food. Moderately priced, civil atmosphere. A good choice for a not too heavy yet satisfying meal. read more Unpretentious yet carefully made food. Moderately priced, civil atmosphere. A good choice for a not too heavy yet satisfying meal.

The only thing I found on the menu was a dish w shrimp, that they warmed in a microwave. Only other cooking apparatus was a toaster oven. The people with me said the sushi was good. Problem by the time we got fed, we were starting to believe that they went out to catch the fish... Took two hours start to finish. Place is rather pricey as well. My take is that there are too many other restaurants where I can spend my money, and it's won't take the whole evening. Finally, I could be less critical if the place was busy, but it wasn't
