| - Strange is the only way to sum up my experience. Upon walking in, we were greeted by a hostess a few cards short of a full deck. Bless her heart, I will give more details on her in a moment. I go for sushi all the time and one great thing about the sushi experience is how guests are ALWAYS greeted by the sushi chefs. That won't happen here. All doom and gloom and unfriendly....One of the chefs, I can only describe as "sour face". He comes up later in my review. We were shown to our table where I got to sit on a VERY cracked lucite chair.....thank god I am small, but I still worried about it giving way beneath me. The menu had an average selection of the "same ol, same ol" sushi rolls. We decided on the assorted sushi platter. Nothing exciting. I did have to send back 2 dirty plates that still had rice baked on them. After we placed our order, I made a quick trip to the ladies room to wash my hands. As I passed the hostess, l noticed her fully engaged in writing on some paper, as got closer, I saw that she was really drawing stick people with a thick blue marker. Like something a 5 year old would do. OK! Didn't know quite how to process that. But moving on. After I returned to the table, we heard another party yelping at the table behind us. Talking about a cougar roll. So we added it to our order. Our disappointing assorted sushi platter came. For $22.00 I expected better. The quality was eh... Rubber octopus.....squishey room temperature eel, fake crab.
Then the cougar roll came, $14.00 for imitation crab in a cucumber slathered with sweet chili sauce. I dont get it? But others liked it. I had also asked for fresh wasabi, I was brought the portion size of one teaspoon. No kidding. I am not doubting it was fresh, but it was mixed with something else because it was really liquidy? It was ok. However, it was not worth the extra $2.00 charge. The waitresses was stunned we were charged for it, and although we didn't dispute the charge, she thought it was unfair enough to take it up with old "sour face". He was totally rude to her and was irritated she challenged the extra charge.
Our waitresses was the only good thing about the whole place. Over priced, average food. A total, DNR, Do Not Return. I am surprised this place has such high ratings? I would not revisit, there are far better places for sushi.
