| - Voting three stars for now, because it hasn't been opened for a full week so I still want to give it the benefit of the doubt and return due to my love of sushi and Lakewood.
Atmosphere was nice, I love the Lakewood vibe and this place fits right in.
Drinks were good, strong. One of the perks of waiting is getting just a little tipsy.
My waitress Natalie was nice, can't really blame her for the long wait, but she did everything we asked.
Three problems.
The wait: Now I don't want to be too hard on them because I can imagine how difficult opening week is before everyone gets into the groove of things. But we ordered our appetizer ( which is two veggie egg rolls ) and two maki rolls ( one Lakewood maki and the one Crab Rangoon) at the same time. It took about twenty mins for the appetizer and then another forty mins on top of that for our maki rolls. If the wait will be this long I can only hope they will provide some type of munchies to keep us distracted. Like wontons and dip or something.
The Food: The veggie egg rolls came out soggy in the middle, it was good but the inside was way softer than any egg roll I've ever tasted, as if the oil was not hot enough so the egg roll oil sucked up the oil a little more. But it was good, 3/5. When the maki rolls finally came out, my maki felt like it was sitting out a little longer than the other one but it was good just wished I could taste the heat from it being deep fried.
The TV: My only personal pet peeve is too have a variety of channels going on multi TVs not only one game going on, especially if we are loosing, winning no problem, I love being apart of the hype. But when the wait for food is over a hour long and shark week is on, never change shark week.
Looking forward to coming back, hoping the wait isn't as long and I can tune into shark week.
