| - I came here craving some sushi with friends after a fun day. We came in on a Saturday around 8:00, which gave us 2 hours before they closed at 10.
When we arrived, we noticed that many of the 7~ tables of guests, which accounted for more than half of the guests there at the time, were on the patio. We thought that this was because everyone wants a chill experience outside, but we soon learned that it was because the interior was insanely hot, despite a large portion of the front being open.
The food was surprisingly decent in some cases (for AYCE, anyway). The salmon was decent and the cooked food was acceptable. Their cooked salmon and tempura however, were clearly overcooked and tasted like rubber. Notably, they have wasabi tako, which attracted me to this location, and it was pretty good.
The service was questionable, rude, and usually late. The waitress usually ignored our calls, and she took orders as well as dishes with an aggressive attitude. The store may be understaffed as well, as the food took a very long time to arrive. We only ordered small dishes of around 15 pieces sushi tops, taking around 25 minutes after giving in the order, and the restaurant was not even 50% full - what gives?
Now, usually I think this deserves a 2*, but what I am about to tell you truly shows that this place is shady and not to be trusted. When we received our bills (separate) for $25.98 total, two of my friends paid that amount plus tip. When the machine came to me, I noticed it said "29.88 - OK?". Absolutely not OK. I checked the bill, which clearly wrote 25.98 for each person, and asked why. She said "the manager looks for a 15% tip". Well, for one, we had four people, and nowhere were we told or did it say that a gratuity would be automatically added. Even if it did, why did my two friends not receive one before? Even then, I wasn't planning to tip anyway, as their service was slow and they managed to miss our order of 10 pieces of salmon sashimi anyway.
In conclusion: STAY AWAY.
