| - Went here today to try it out before seeing a movie... and while it was ok, there were some issues.
Service is an issue. You enter the place and nobody greets you and the poor server is alone to serve and bus the tables. There is no sign that says "seat yourself" or whatever, so we stood there for a minute, waiting for instruction, not wanting to be rude.
Sushi chefs completely ignored us. The server had been outside clearing tables and didn't know we were there, then when he came in, he told us to sit anywhere.
So we sit down and wait another 5 minutes until he comes over to bring menus and ask what we would like to drink. Of course, having never been there before, we don't know what they serve, what the prices are, or if there are specials. So we ask... the server seemed apologetic... I'll give him that.
So we got the large kirin and a large sake to share.
We ordered the shrimp and vegetable tempura as an appetizer (which was served with not enough sauce to dip your stuff in... I understand waste not, want not, but to dip, I need more than a drizzle), then ordered the Maryland roll, Rhode Island roll, and the Washington roll.
The Maryland and Rhode Island were good. I liked the Rhode Island better while my partner liked the Maryland... both very good rolls.
The Washington roll... it is a cucumber roll, no rice. You get a huge piece and all you can taste is the cucumber, not the salmon and I think it was red snapper inside it at all. We cut off half the cucumber and it was much nicer.
Price was normal for a sushi bar... expensive for your average restaurant, but that's sushi for you.
When we left, there was no goodbye or anything like that... again, the sushi chefs completely ignore you.
All in all... I wouldn't hightail it back to try out their other rolls unless it was just convenient because I was seeing a movie.
