| - After the great reviews on Yelp I was anxious to try this place out. I really liked the modern decor and when we arrived, and the restaurant had like 3 tables occupied. We were given a table immediately and I noticed that there was only one server around.
The server filled our glasses of water, gave us the menu and then walked off.
The prices were average. I was a bit disappointed that the sets that seemed the most appealing to me (e.g., the torched sushi) were pretty pricey. I settled for the Omigoto special combo, which consisted of 6 nigiri sushi, half a dynamite roll and half a spicy tuna roll. My brother decided to get the Vege maki set.
I am not a fan of tempura on my sushi so I asked the server to leave out the tempura from mine. We waited for around 20 minutes, during which our water wasn't replaced, we weren't asked if we needed anything else, and we weren't given any appetizer salads or miso soups, which I noticed every other table received.
Our food finally arrived and surprise surprise...my roll was filled with tempura. I immediately called it out and the server just seemed stubborn and seemed reluctant to take it back. When he did, in less than 1 minute he came back with my plate. I noticed that the chef literally replaced the dynamite roll with a California roll. If I wanted a California roll I would have ordered that in the first place. Instead of complaining and making the server even more frustrated than he already was I decided to ignore it. I also noticed that the spicy tuna roll had tempura in it too! While eating we asked the server if he could bring us extra ginger, which he brought once we had completed our meal. I get that he was the only server around, but the restaurant wasn't even that busy. While paying, the server gave a newly arrived couple some salad and also gave them advice as to how to get a better deal in their orders, which was not given to us.
The quality of the sushi was okay, not the best. But the main thing that ruined my experience was not the food but the service.
I will go again to give it another shot and hopefully receive service that is favourable to everyone.
