The server was almost silent during our time there, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable. We waited an hour for our sushi to be ready. While the sushi was fresh and quite tasty, I think I would prefer to order takeout next time rather than dine in.

I used to really enjoy the sushi here, but after my visit today, I found that it was definitely not fresh—especially the salmon and tuna. When it comes to raw fish, freshness is crucial, and unfortunately, the taste was quite fishy and old. I hope to update this review more positively once my stomach feels better. Food: 1/5

The total came to about $75.13, but when I handed the waitress my credit card, the charge went up to $86.85. The additional $11.72 was a service charge that I wasn't informed about, which I suspect was applied because I used a credit card. It seems like they apply that fee as a tip for the waitress, but I believe customers should be made aware of extra charges. I won’t be returning. On a positive note, parking was ample.
