| - This place could be a 4 or 5, but for 2 reasons.
1. Food - Very decent fish and sushi rolls and all. I stopped here for lunch and ordered their lunch combo, the sashimi and sushi were all very good, but the rice that came with the chicken cutlet was not. Its hard and tasted like it was day old and probably from the bottom of the rice cooker. Its a damn shame as the food alone would have gotten them 4 star but, its like serving caviar on a paper plate. Some restaurants seem to do that, use good ingredients but try to save by using either lower grade rice or old one.
My friend mentioned that maybe the rice was just badly cooked, without enough water, to which I would say a 1 star deduction is justified. Please, a japanese restaurant not able to cook rice is like going to a burger place and getting burnt buns or a italian restaurant having hard pasta. Its just wrong.
2. Service - They need to hire someone else to work here. The owner and her daughter are not fast enough for even an average lunch crowd, 50 percent full at the time I was there. And when you ask your customer if the food was good, and they reflect that the rice was hard. Do not just say oh sorry and walk to the next table. maybe offer to change it or somethng. This would be antoher -1 star.
I guess its the thing with asian places, that they tend to focus more on the food than service. So 3 star for the decent food I guess is fair.
