Oh Shinobu - how you let me down. Having been a few times and spending a fair amount (over $150 two weeks ago) came to get something with my Mum to enjoy.
Being told it would take over an hour for take-out? Are you kidding me? There's FAR too much competition in the neighborhood for you to say something as absurd and inexplicable as that.
I will grant you the compliment of exceptional food, priced well. But when your space seats 20 people maximum and takeout provides you with revenue beyond your miniature walls - I'm baffled at how you can turn that down.
Guess I'll be going elsewhere from now on. Good sushi can be found nearby.
