| - Uggg. I was on the fence as to even write a review because I really, really wanted to love this place, but I didn't. I just moved to the area, so you can imagine my excitement when I discovered on Yelp that there was a more "hole in the wall" sushi place in my area, other than the bigger restaurants such as RA, Stingray, Kona(which I all love, but I am a sushi freak...could eat it every day, and love the weird stuff). After working late this past Tuesday, I had a need for ikura and a big glass of wine. So, Dozo sounded like the perfect "first try" restaurant in my area. I walked in to a pretty crowded restaurant, so this seemed like a great sign to me. I stood at the front desk, looking around and seeing that the waitresses and the sushi bar guys clearly saw me. This indication probably should have led me straight back out the door. After about 5 minutes of standing, a lady comes and seats me. She comes back promptly to take my drink order...glass of Kendal Jackson chardonnay and a water. Those come out quickly, and she takes my order, so far so good. Squid salad, ikura, and sweet shrimp with heads(told you I liked the weird stuff). After looking around, I noticed about 4 tables(and this is a small place) were not cleaned off at all, and the couple next to me was waiting and looking around for a sauce for their tempura(which I saw her bring sans sauce a good couple minutes before). With their sauce in hand, she brings me my squid salad. It was good, small portion, but squid salad is always pretty small(it was $6). Then, I do not see the waitress for 30 min. I had sent a text around the time when she brought my squid, so I knew the exact time. After 30, she came over and said the food should be right up. My wine is now gone, and I am pretty annoyed. I ask her to bring my check with the food, as I do not want to wait another who knows how long for that to come. She then comes over, without my food, and tell me they are out of ikura, and would I like something else. WTF?!?! NO, I just waited 35 minutes for you to tell me you are out of something that should literately take 1 minutes to make. A couple minutes later my sweet shrimps arrived and the bill. The shrimps were pretty good, and the heads too. Not spectacular, but standard. My bill was $22(8.50 for the glass of wine, yikes). I asked her if it always takes this long, as I just moved to the area and was planning on coming here quite often. She said since the cold snap let up, more people came to have dinner than usual. I don't know if that's convincing enough to try again, as other reviews clearly stated they were understaffed. My relaxing dinner for one turning into a stressful(and small) dining nightmare.
I love sushi so much, that I will most likely give this place another chance, due to the proximity to my house. I really hope I can write a better review next time : (
