| - My hubby wanted to try the new sushi joint in the neighborhood, despite my argument to go with the "tried and true". I hate to say "I told ya so", but I did.
We had our choice of tables, because the "after 8pm dinner rush" hadn't arrived yet. We were asked about drinks right away and luckily I knew we wanted some appetizers because I was able to order them with our drinks. Got our drinks right away and our edamame.... And that was it, for 45 min. We did order our mains in that time - all the while thinking our second app would be coming soon. By this time all the table were full, so with ONE SERVER (who I think was also the owner) we were not really a concern. We watched other diners get their mains when we still hadn't received our sushi pizza. Finally it arrived. But, we didn't have any soya sauce dishes or plates. My hubby got up to ask for it and the woman was clueless to what he was asking for. We got a salad (that we didn't order - I think to by the time). Then miso soup (for the wait, even though I had ordered one). We were VERY close to getting up and leaving at this point, but I was starving and knew we would have to wait somewhere else for food. Finally after being there for an hour plus of sitting there, our main sushi and rolls arrived. It was only then that the woman apologized for the wait and explained someone called in sick, but by then the damage was already done - we had decided we were not coming back. The woman knew we were pissed and pretty much chased out of the resto, saying next time it will be "much better". Sorry, first impressions last.
As for the food, nothing amazing. Actually not that great at all. I don't even know if there was salmon in the spicy salmon roll, and not just tempura and spicy mayo. The Green Dragon Roll tasted weird - the sauce on top was too sweet. Unagi sushi tasted like a BBQ.
All-in-all, not a good experience.
