| - Let me start by saying that I have been reading almost every review on here about this place, and have been chomping at the bit to try it.
Arrived there with my wife, and two daughters. We did not get Joy as a server, I made sure to check their names. I think she was off in the middle of the day, maybe working nights only.
Anyway, we sat down and the two girls that sat us/served us were very nice and friendly. I give three stars just for them being cool. I looked over the sushi menu, and all but three (I think) rolls were listed as spicy. I do not eat anything spicy. I am weird, yes I know, but I want to taste every flavor in my food rather than burn my mouth so I can guess if it is good or not. I ordered the Las Vegas roll, and requested regular salmon instead of baked salmon along with nothing spicy at all please. Also ordered the baked scallop roll. We got our older daughter the lunch special of Teriyaki beef, and our newborn we got some hot water to make her a bottle :P (she's one month old). The beef came out first, and all three of us tried a piece. It did not taste that great, and not much flavor to it at all. I ate the miso soup instead. Next came the Las Vegas roll, in which the plate had six super slim pieces of sushi with jalapenos on them. I was pretty upset, but figured I would pull them off and hope my mouth didn't get burned from jalapeno juice left on the rice. I didn't taste anything spicy, but wow my mouth had this horrible taste of baked salmon. I believe it was fresh, so please don't think it was bad but I just can't stand that weird taste of baked salmon. I gave the rest of the roll to my wife, and told her I would help eat what she couldn't of the next roll. Out comes the baked scallop roll, and this thing is huge. I mean it covered the entire plate. I was very impressed, and thought they totally redeemed themselves. I took a piece, and it tasted like pieces of no flavor fish on a California roll. I do mean absolutely no flavor. I asked my wife to try it so I could know if it was my taste buds or not, and she had the same result. I told her I didn't want to eat any more of it, and was very disappointed about the food. So my wife, being the good girl she is, ate that roll also so it wouldn't go to waste. I couldn't believe it, we paid almost $25.00 for something that Teharu sushi sells for $3.00, and they have a ton of flavor when it's fresh.
If you have eaten here, and think my story is bogus, then don't worry because I am very picky when it comes to sushi. I am still looking for good sushi like I have had in northern California.
So as if the food was not bad enough, the cooks did the same thing as another yelper mentioned. They started changing, and turned off the lights around where we were. The servers were still nice and friendly, but wow it felt like a "hint hint. . . . . Get out now!!" from the cooks.
So breakdown:
3 stars = Service from the girls
1 star = Food
-2 stars = the cooks not getting the order right, and being pushy for us to leave.
