I used to go to Koyomizu very often when I lived in the neighbourhood. I visited this place again after a decade; the management seems to be changed because I remember they used to serve banchan and not anymore.
Two stars mainly because of the poor service and average food.
My group arrived way before two other group, but they received tea and even salad way before us. The staff only left us the menu and left; we waited for at least 15 minutes before we waived to get the staff attention to make our order. One girl told us to wait and another girl came to serve us. We told the waitress we didn't get any attention and she didn't even apologize for the slow service. The restaurant is half full and understaff with two servers. The service was very cold overall: they never asked how everything was.
Food also came pretty slow. We at least waited 10 minutes in between the Miso and salad. The sushi sashimi boat portion is small for $45 compare to other places. Fish's freshness was okay; the sushi rice was too hard. I enjoyed the special rolls among all the sushi.
We also order the Katsudon; the rice was hard as well and the pork Katsu was dry and hard. My child didn't really enjoy it.
What an disappointment tonight and definitely will not come back.
