| - I'm only giving it 2 stars, because the girl who took care of us was nice and the food was good. My party of four came in at dinner time on a Monday night. The restaurant is small (maybe 9-10 tables, the sushi bar, and two huge hibachi tables). We had a Groupon and there seemed to be some debate amongst the two working the floor regarding what that entailed. From what I could gather, there was one server, one sushi chef, and one manager. The manager ended up serving us.
We finally got the Groupon menu and placed our order: four orders of nigiri, a Lemon roll, a Japanese Lasagna, a Jessica roll, a soft shell crab hand roll, a Spider roll, and a Philadelphia roll. We were supposed to also get fried rice and oysters (the girl was going to give us the oysters since we waited so long) but we never got either during the meal. I think the other two in our party ended up taking the rice home. The food was good, not the best sushi I've ever had, but definitely not even remotely bad. The Lemon roll in particular was great.
We also got some of the sake. We had the white peach and the cherry. They weren't very potent, but that was good because they were delicious and I would've gotten trashed if they were strong.
Now, for the issues. They were ridiculously understaffed. I get it, honestly I do, but it was outrageous how two people and one chef had to take care of a full restaurant. Another point to make is that we didn't even get the right nigiri; we ordered one unagi, but instead got double salmon. While I like salmon and had ordered one, my boyfriend was a little put out. At that point, however, we were to hungry to argue. The woman who took care of us was very sweet and that wonderful attitude never faltered, even though it was plain to see how much stress she was under.
We were there, in total, almost three hours. That wasn't due to us. As soon as we got the menu, we ordered everything within minutes. It just took forever for everything to come out. Since we didn't get the rice while dining, we didn't really fill up.
I'm not sure if we'll be coming back. My boyfriend and I live on the other side of town and it's not worth the drive. The other two in our party might, for take out at least. I wasn't kidding about how great that Lemon roll was. The food was spectacular, but management needs to schedule more people and/or hire more. If someone calls out, there needs to be more staff available to handle it.
