| - I love sushi and it disturbs me to give a bad review, but I'd really never go back to this place. We were a party of 3 and were asked first if we'd like a drink. Saki sounded good, so we said we'd have a large one. The waitress arrived with 3 bottles, papa, mama, and baby. We picked baby, 300ml and I was surprised when she asked if we wanted it hot or cold. In my experience (in Japan), some saki is made to be served hot, others cold--you don't normally leave it to the patron. And interestingly, it's the cold saki that is more high end. It came in what looked like an ice bucket of hot water.
My hand roll set (14.00) consisted of only 3 hand rolls, 2 with minced fish mixed with what tasted like green peppers and maybe other vegetables, instead of a solid piece of fish, and one which was a piece of that fake crab. The chopped fish was definitely not to my liking. It tasted as though it was mixed with unidentifiables. And the rice inside was so overcooked, it almost tasted like porridge. I asked the waitress to come over and told her that I really didn't like the dish. She then spoke to the chef, returned and told me I should talk with him. I left the meal mostly uneaten and neither waitress nor chef minded in the least.
The bill came and the baby bottle of saki was $30. My husband was rather shocked and asked about that too. But again, they were absolutely fine with all of it. I hope they are just as fine with us making this a one-time visit. There is much better food and service almost anywhere else.
