| - Our group had a wicked craving for sushi. We were drawn to them for their sweet shrimp and octopus sashimi. Items that not all AYCE sushi places have. Also, for their raw oysters.
I don't even really know where to start. From beginning to end, this place was a disaster. From food, to service.. it was a huge disappointment.
We came around 5:30pm, so it was not busy. Still, the service was bad. The waitresses were rude. They handed us the iPad so we could make our orders and did not explain anything to us. So, unknowingly, we ordered a few more of the special items than were allowed. She said "is it your first time here? there is a limit of 2 per customer for these special items". Okay, well yes, it IS our first time here. Maybe you should have let us know before being rude about it?
The food starting coming in. The pictures on the iPad looked delicious and amazing. What came to our table was nothing like what was shown in the pictures. The tataki for some reason looked like it was all put into a platter and then microwaved. The beef was grey, and the tuna was completely cooked through.
The seafood soup came and there was only 2 pieces of shrimp in it with a whole bunch of mushrooms and seaweed. Not what it looked like in the pic..
The sashimi was only okay, it was a little bit closer to room temp and unappealing.
My sister and I ordered the uni shooter as one of our special items. It came in a little cup with what looked like a raw quail egg yolk. This thing was floating in a bunch of vinegar, and that's all you can taste. I wonder why they had to serve this in vinegar? (most likely to mask the lack of freshness???) The oysters were only okay.
We had had enough of the main dishes so we decided to get dessert and get out of there. The mango yogurts we ordered weren't even solidified! They were just liquid.. like milk. It IS okay to let your customers know if you don't have something available. I would have rather them tell me they weren't ready yet, than to serve something so disgusting. Also, a few of them came in a cracked glass shooter glass. We did not touch those. Also, the servers did not even give us spoons. We had to ask for them.. hahaha maybe she knew they were completely liquid, and that is why she did not offer us spoons?
The one highlight of the meal was the tempura banana. That was pretty good.
They did offer 10% discount if paying by cash. But a lot of places do, so that is not a draw. Also, the prices are pretty high, $26.99 for bad food.
Well, if you're looking for mediocre Japanese food and subpar service (the server basically tossed the food onto our table, and didn't take away our emptied dishes) then this is the place for you.
