I'm not sure what it is, but there's a smell to this place. I also need to point out the flooring in this restaurant are not wood but in fact laminates and is pretty dangerous if its wet and you are wearing shoes. I was in casual shoes and I didn't realize how slippery the floor was and I almost slipped. I thought it was just my shoes because casual shoes can be slippery, but I saw others in heels, leather shoes and sandals having the same problems. Two fully grown men in suits almost slipped on their way to the washroom. They were literally grabbing onto fixtures to keep themselves from falling. They were clearly not drunk as they came in after us and only ordered 2 bento boxes. So just be careful if you are visiting this restaurant when its raining or snowing outside.
The food here is alright, nothing was particularly memorable and although this place is close to home it's not a place I would frequent.
It's probably a personal taste but I find their spicy salmon rolls aren't spicy enough. The shari also isn't sour enough. Their lunch specials are good for its price but they aren't opened on weekends for lunch. Their sushi/sashimi are fresh and well prepared and its probably the only thing that's saving this place from receiving a 2 star rating. They also have a good selection of alcohol.
