Food- 3.5 stars
Service- 1 star
It is a strange feeling to be in a restaurant, a place that is by no means close to full, and to feel unwanted by your server. Maybe this guy was just having a terrible day but with every question, every request, my friends and I could feel his hatred burning. It started with inquiring about whether or not we had to do the all-you-can-eat. Most places I know have that as an option but this seemed to be the be all and end all by the way he was speaking... except it wasn't. Awkward.
Note to you: we didn't get the AYCE, but you might as well if you're remotely hungry because it will come to about the same price.
The miso soup was a bit blah. The edamame was good and came in a huge portion size. The maki itself was great! I had a spicy salmon roll as well as a dynamite-tempura shrimp one, both very fresh, tasty and covered in fish eggs. Tried my friends tuna sashimi- not so fresh tasting, but at least we had a few rolls going to make up for it.
Bill confusion, pay upfront. They probably won't separate it for you but we got them to split it equally four ways. Good food, which for the most part gets utterly burried under some you're-dumb-why-are-you-here? service. Unfortunate but true of this experience I had.
