i rarely give out 1-star reviews, but the service and quality i received deserves nothing more.
we walked by here on a whim, and after spending new years in tokyo, we randomly decided on a few bites of nigiri for nostalgia's sake. now i'm not holding it to an authentic japanese standard?? but the Toro-Negi roll i had tasted like rice crispies. and there was barely any rice.
to the chef's defense, my dining partner liked the nigiri.
what urked me the most was the service. the waitress seemed perplex that we were ordering so few items, as if we were taking up her time. (this was at 2pm-ish and there were empty seats)
she followed up by not giving us our tea for 20 minutes, after which i had to go up and request it. her demeanor after continued to be curt and short.
this is hands down the worst service i've received in life! non-english speaking hole-in-the-walls have given better food and service.
