Big disappointment on food handling at the premise. Big issues on communication with servers and sushi chefs.
I will unlikely to go back there. Probably never again.
Forget getting $80 nor $120 course menu. Stick with $48 Nigiri Course if you are still planning to go there. Paying more doesn't mean getting something better at this restaurant. Having Nigiri course would be the best bet otherwise you will be left hungry.
Variety of the fish you get as Nigiri and sashimi are unique and worth the visit. You will get to try something you wont get to taste even at Nobu. That, I can promise you that because I dined at Nobu last night and studied their menu for good 30 minutes.
Miso soup, grilled FIsh, appetizer... are not worth the extra $30. Avoid it. Fishy to start, and the back of the house cannot accommodate to your specific request you make.
Timing is off. You will be rushed out by sushi piled up on your plate which supposedly served on your pace one by one... I waited for over 10 minutes for a dish to come out which was done plating already right in front of my face 10 minutes ago.
How would you feel when you see your food items plated once and put them back on a container again, then to someone else's plate and ends up being yours right in front of you. That was a big turn off to me. This happened in 5 minutes after I sat at the sushi bar. I was practically ready to leave in the first 5 minutes.
Communication issue is the biggest factor why I'm giving 1 star to this place.
Attitude---Seating at Sushi Bar, you see Sushi chefs preparing your food 2 yards away from yourself. On a day of my visit there were 3 chefs behind the bar. The lead chef was nudging the youngest chef for every move he makes. It lasted for over an hour right in front of my eyes. Lead chef's and sous chef's attitude towards the youngest one was just horrible. If they think guests wont understand japanese so they can be so negative to fellow chefs... I doubt their common sense.
Language barrier---on servers, sushi chefs, and the back of the house.
You will get better service at this restaurant if you are fluent in japanese otherwise you will be treated in a cookie cutter-ed matter. Timing is off. You will be rushed out.
