| - There a few pluses to the restaurant: it was clean, spacious, and had classical music playing in the background. Even the two-seater tables had a wider bench seat with plenty of room, which was a pleasant surprise.
I ordered the chirashi, but was a little disappointed at the amount of fish given (a total of about 6-7 pieces), although the salmon and tuna ones were a decent size. The mackerel was pretty good too, and the presentation was nice. The rice wasn't that great though; it was too soft, and just tasted like something was missing.
Since I ordered off the lunch menu, it also included a salad, miso soup, and a mochi ball for dessert. The salad was good, although it wasn't anything special (romaine lettuce, some cucumber and some grape tomatoes), the miso soup was fine, and the mochi ball was ok too. They also give you tea, but it was a bit on the cold side.
The one thing that stood out most was their service. They started out well, there was a male waiter that came by and took our order and everything was fine. Near the end of our meal though, as it was nearing their closing time (it was about 2:10 in the afternoon and they closed at 2:30), one of the waitresses came by and started clearing our table, even though we clearly weren't done yet. She didn't look like she wanted to be there, and we felt very rushed, even though we knew we would've been finished in another 5-10 minutes. When we left, they didn't even acknowledge that we were going, despite all the staff wishing another table a good day only 15 minutes earlier when they left.
Overall, the food was ok, and the prices are a little on the more expensive side for what you get, but the service has room for improvement. Due to the large number of sushi restaurants in the area, I would recommend going elsewhere if you want a better experience.
