| - Waited an hour for awful sushi.
I love sushi. Even grocery store sushi. So imagine my dismay to discover that there is, in fact, bad sushi. Sushi I don't even want to finish.
Despite its shabby but kitschy appearance, poor lighting, and strip mall location, I expected this place to be great. The people at the hibachi a seemed to be having fun and it has all the fun hallmarks of a true Japanese style restaurant.
It wasn't. We waited 55 minutes for our food (and we were there early, at 5:30, with a 2 year old), and when it arrived, I wished it hadn't. We got 5 rolls, some of which are no brainers and impossible to mess up (Philly roll?). Yet none of them were good, and some were actively bad tasting. Not fresh, not flavorful, even the wasabi was bland. I could almost feel myself getting food poisoning.
Good service can save a restaurant, but here it was indifferent. To wait an hour for food with no apologies or explanation is beyond the pale. Our server kept asking if we wanted more water. Dude, it's water; if the glass is empty, just refill it!
The one good thing I will say is that they give a generous pour of the wine. Which you desperately need because everything else about this place will drive you to drink.
