Way overrated in my opinion, which proves how few restaurants in Pittsburgh offer quality sushi. Mediocre food topped with a poor experience/bad service left a bad taste in my mouth. I don't intend to return.
Service:
We went with the expectation of receiving the happy hour special despite it being a Saturday. At that time, the special was listed on their website and didn't specify days it was not offered. I even called and had this confirmed before going. When we got there and asked if we could order from the happy hour menu, we got a blank stare and then the manager. He informed us that it was a mistake and we must have searched the menu of another restaurant. I even pulled it up on my phone to show him, at which point he then said he couldn't give us that option. Didn't offer anything extra to us, a discount or a sincere apology. In my opinion, that's a poor way to apologize to a customer- even a simple free appetizer would have been enough to win me over. Incredibly disappointed.
Food:
We ordered a few sushi rolls. Like many places in Pittsburgh, it was nothing special. The salmon and tuna were mediocre in regards to freshness. Even without the bad experience, I would offer it 3 stars at best.
Ambience:
A bit confusing. Modern trendy and then throw on a couple of neon lights and old looking table cloths. I didn't care for it much. The only plus was the doors, which could open up the restaurant on a nice day or evening.
