| - I'm not sure I've ever been more annoyed at a restaurant. I really wanted sushi (what I REALLY want around here is a sushi buffet, but I digress...), and we haven't tried any of the places around here yet. Tomo happened to be closest to where we were at the moment, so we figured we'd give it a go.
We walked in, and I saw on the board "All you can eat sushi, $21.95 on Sundays". Well it was Sunday, so I let out a squeal of excitement. I asked the man at the door how it worked (was there a buffet of stuff set out? Did you order single pieces?), and he thrust a paper at me and said, "This is the menu. No sharing. Finish what you order. No takeout." I got a little scared and said, "OK, I'll just check out the regular menu." Too many rules freak me out.
We asked for milk for our 3-year old, and the server said "We don't have milk." After he walked away, I saw milk on the menu. So I asked about it. "We are out of milk," he replied. Fine. But when I go to a restaurant, if they're out of something I ask for, I prefer when they're at least a little apologetic and acknowledge that they usually have it, but don't at the moment.
I looked at the menu and decided on a combo. When I started to order, the server said it was chef's choice. It doesn't say "Chef's Choice" or "Omakase" anywhere. The vibe I had been getting since we walked in made me a little nervous about letting the chef choose. I figured maybe I'd just get the all you can eat because by the time I added up the al a carte pieces I wanted, I was over $20. But then he told me that there are only rolls on the all you can eat menu. That seems a little ridiculous because I could maybe eat 2 rolls before filling up and since you have to eat what you order, there's not much room to try new things or actually get your money's worth.
So I ordered a la carte. And thankfully it was absolutely delicious. Because that's really the only thing that made me want to give 2 stars instead of 1. I also wish they had cheaper kids meals. We paid $8.95 for a shrimp hibachi meal for the kiddo and it was more than even I would have been able to eat. Great kids menus are cheaper with smaller portions in my opinion. Most kids can't (and shouldn't) eat as much food as they put in front of him. But again, it was really tasty.
There are other options in the area, so I can't imagine I'll ever be back here. Service was not at all friendly. They were quick because there were only a couple other people in there, but because they had nothing to do, I felt like they were just staring at us, and I don't like being stared at while I'm eating.
