I've been here 3 times in about the span of a year so I feel fairly familiar with the consistency of this place.
First off, HAPPY HOUR! And then REVERSE HAPPY HOUR!
...Ok, I'm calm. I've only ever been here for a happy hour, so I'm unsure if they always card at the door. They get pretty slammed at times so I totally understand making it easy by putting a wristband on the 21+. This is perfectly acceptable. The host is usually pointing out the special by the door while checking ID's. People need to stop complaining.
The staff is friendly and decently attentive. It's a good place for a date or a group. The food is good. Everything's always been fresh. Their Tootsie, Las Vegas (I always get it without jalapeno), and Dragon rolls are good. Sometimes the Rainbow can be a little dry. I've noticed that the Playgirl can get a little skimpy. I think it comes with avocado and sometimes it hasn't had very much. I think that was the problem. I wish they'd put descriptions of their rolls online. I don't normally do spicy but the Lollipop was good. It's just spicy enough to not be overpowering. Any time I've had the eel nigiri it's been a good texture. Perfectly falls apart in your mouth without being mushy.
