| - Unfortunately, Stingray Sushi was a major letdown. It all started when the server brought us plateware that was still covered in some kind of sauce (probably soy sauce). It was not just a little bit, and it was on both my dish and my friend's.
Thankfully, they also serve hot wash clothes at the start of your meal, so we were able to clean the plates off before using them for our own food. Really grossed me out, and I'm very surprised that the server never saw (or felt the stickiness of?) the sauce on those dishes.
**Reading through other reviews reveals that we may not have been the only ones who have ever experienced this. Which is TRULY upsetting, because dirty dishes served to guests should not be ANY restaurant's chronic issue. So disgusting...
We ordered up and the food came pretty quickly, but after being served the wrong dish (twice over) and recognizing that the crab in our tempura sushi was pretty obviously artificial, we were both done eating.
I'll admit: we've become sushi snobs over time, but it's not like I had high expectations of this place. It's just that even my low expectations were never met. The server was kind enough, but apart from that, the experience was a total flop.
I suppose that, if you're into sushi as a gimmick, Stingray might suit your needs. But if you're out for some real sushi with actual (fresh) non-artificial seafood, you'll have to look elsewhere. In fact, I'll tell you exactly where to go:
Hop in your car and drive to Shimogamo instead. It may cost you a couple extra bucks in gas, but it will save you the headache of a mediocre experience and you'll be eating real food prepared as an art. (Shimogamo is the best sushi I've found in the area bar none.)
Sorry Stingray - I really hate to leave bad reviews, but you kinda sucked last night. :-/
