| - Excellent quality of food, prices a little high, and customer service was half decent.
I visited this venue with m'lady with a group deal voucher. They asked me to provide it to them before ordering, which was fine. The server tried steering us in a direction with the food so that we would be within the amount that the voucher covered. I would've had no problem going over, as I ended up doing a little.
When we were seated, I had reserved a table. We would've generally preferred a booth but they placed us right in front of the kitchen area, so we were a little uncomfortable as we could feel that the food prep staff kept trying not to look at us.
The food was very fresh and delicious, and the service was initially rather attentive. The problems however came in when I asked for a dessert menu, and the waiter provided me with a green tea ice cream instead, so there was a little bit of a language barrier there. Also, when I was presented my bill, I laid my credit card down. When the waiter came to collect the payment, he asked if I didn't have cash. I told him that I did if he preferred that I pay with cash, so when he told me that he did, I gave him a $10 bill, for which he owed me several cents of change. Since he never returned with my change after waiting an extended period of time at the table, I let him keep my change as a tip since it seemed to me like he was trying to tip himself instead of providing me with my change and getting a larger tip. I am not a fan of people trying to tip themselves like this.
So all-in-all, considering the prices were a bit high for a sushi place (on average just about everything was more than $1 per piece of sushi), and the service was iffy at times, I'm not likely to return to this venue. On the other hand, the food was indeed great, so if there is improvement done on the service, I would be much more likely to return and update my review accordingly.
