We all know this place is a franchise. I don't want to be one, but it is.
That brings it way down in my eyes, but besides that I can't find anything wrong with this place.. in fact the food is good, the place looks good, and their Happy Hour menu is great. If not Happy Hour, this place becomes a fairly standard sushi place, from a price perspective - but on happy hour they have good food for fairly cheap. And anyone that knows my thrifty self knows that I enjoy a good Happy Hour deal.
The service was good. The waitress hovered a little too much for my liking, and in despite of this excessive hovering showed a little low attention to detail. Good thing the food quality is good. We tried a little of everything from their Happy Hour Menu and taste-wise it was delicious and enjoyed by everybody in our party.
I haven't been to any other RA franchise partner locations, but this one is big and nice. I mean I really was surprised in a pleasant way. I wouldn't call this place intimate - but it still has many redeeming features.
