| - I came here on a Wednesday night with my huge family -- we were 2 rows of tables, for 21 hungry people. Borderline hangry...
Orders are still placed by pencil & paper, and although they may be able to accommodate large groups in terms of seating, they are a little overwhelmed by trying to serve them.
Restaurant size:
Spacious, yet the tables near the entrance will be somewhat poorly lit. Perhaps the elegant term is...ambient?
Portion size:
What you order is what you get; sushi and sashimi orders are per piece. Maki rolls aren't completely full of rice!
Service:
Back to the point about being overwhelmed...
For my immediate table, we decided to be a section of 4 people -- it's impossible to get an entire row of 16 to agree on food items, let alone pass them around! Some other family members did their own sectioning, and the service staff were OK with this. However, sushi and sashimi orders were sent to other tables (as in, other CUSTOMERS), and some order sheets were conveniently misplaced. This resulted in one group sitting without food for around 30 minutes. There is a 2 hour time limit. Hangriness takes over, and an argument between a family member and the staff ensues...
While we were all waiting for our food, the service staff, including the cooks, decide to do stuff with their garbage bins and start doing some cleaning. We're not sick, so I guess nothing to really be worried about -- they totally washed their hands after, right? Right!
They do have children's booster seats available if needed.
Food quality:
Quality was quite acceptable. Sashimi wasn't too thick, wasn't too frozen, wasn't too thin. Maki wasn't too full of rice. Some really delicious dishes, like bacon & asparagus and grilled salmon belly.
Final thoughts:
You get your money's worth here, but if you're coming with a large group you may have to exercise your patience.
Also, you'll get a bicep workout with their heavy washroom doors ;-)
