| - My friends and I decided to try out this new sushi place for my friend's birthday, despite usually being pretty loyal to another sushi joint. It's a cool atmosphere with a fusion vibe and local art featured on the walls, which was a great look and idea.
The drinks were well made, although a bit overpriced. After getting drinks, we weren't quite ready to order food yet, but the server took almost 20 minutes to come back for our order. It then took very long again to actually get our rolls, which were brought out as they were made rather than serving the whole table at once. It was awkward to be the first person to get my rolls while we had to wait 5 minutes in between each person's order coming out
The quality of the sushi, I will say, was good, I got the Rainbow Roll and an Eel Roll. The special rolls weren't that special for the prices and I've had better sushi at a better price.
They were nice enough to offer a free dessert to my friend, and ended up bringing out creme brulee and cheesecake out with spoons for everyone to share. HOWEVER! My friend has a severe nut allergy so he asked if there were nuts in the cheesecake. The sever said no immediately saying it was a Lemon Cheesecake without consulting the chef. He ate it actively trying to avoid the crust, just in case, and instantly started swelling up in his face. He then told the server as a heads up that there are nuts in it and she said that she even confirmed it with the chef (after confidently telling us no). He ended up having to go home afterwards and was throwing up all night.
Despite it's incredibly convenient location for us, I don't think we'll be going back after our experience. We're just lucky that nothing worse happened to him.
