| - Worst. Sushi. Experience. EVER.
The food was bland. Okay, maybe they were going for something more 'traditional' which I get, and which I would *maybe* go back for. But the god awful service was a one way ticket out the door for me, never to return.
When my fiance and I walked in on a weeknight we noticed that the place wasn't very busy. We approached the hostess, and said "Hi!" and in return got nothing. Not a nod, not a glance, nothing. Thinking she didn't hear us (but could undoubtedly see us, as we were standing right in front of her) we said, "Hi there, do you have a wait tonight" (knowing they would not.) She glanced up, said, "I'll be right back" and left. When she came back, she grabbed two menus and told us to follow her. Wow, not even a smile- NOTHING. By the way, when she left, the other hostess approached the stand and didn't acknowledge us at all either. What, are we lepers or something?
The server was slow, uninformed, and generally disinterested in being near our table (or near anyone else's.) She chatted busily and enthusiastically with other staff but couldn't be bothered to be asked for a water by me. Oh, sorry for 'bothering' you, but do you think I could get a refill? My glass had been empty the ENTIRE meal, even after asking her for more water.
We are tippers, I would never "stiff" someone after having been a server and bartender myself. That being said, I understand the flip side and having a bad night at work. But nobody there seemed to care that they were actually there to try and make some money or to be "of service." This place sucked. I'll NEVER go back. If I wanted to be around some snobby waitstaff, I wouldn't go to a strip mall sushi venue located across the street from a mall. I would head to old town, and most certainly get better service and less attitude... which is saying quite a bit.
