Went to this sushi place when it first opened. I've been to a lot of sushi places before but that was definitely one of the worst experiences I've had.
Back then this place was only serving a-la carte sushi and not "all you can eat". Typically this means better quality food and presentation with a heftier price tag. The price was expensive, but the food and service was god awful. We were one of only two tables in the whole restaurant. We ordered a salmon teriyaki and a sushi combo. The salmon teriyaki came and was just a small piece of fish on a bowl of rice. Quite disappointed with the sad looking presentation, but it tasted ok.
And then we waited. Waited, waited, and waited. For 30 minutes we waited for our sushi combo. The Salmon teriyaki that had come already was now cold. The sushi chef and waitress was just chatting away. Eventually we complained, along with the other table in the restaurant, who had not yet received their food either. After 10 more minutes the food came. It was subpar and uninspired.
We paid the bill, got out of there, and swore never to go back. Eventually after a while this place turned into an all you can eat sushi place. WIth that level of service and food presentation there was simply no way it would have survived as an a-la carte sushi place.
