| - Ok, so I'm going to lay it out on the line for you. I've been to this place twice.
I visited the first time when I was in town to see my best friend. I lived in San Francisco at the time. For starters, the place looks amazing! It is very nice and left a nice impression on me for Charlotte. The pros: The sushi is ok, but not spectacular. It lacked on presentation for such a nicely decorated place and for the prices. We are paying for the experience, right? I can get the same thing from any fast food sushi place in the city (SF). Still, the atmosphere is pretty chic, and I was enjoying time with m y best friend... then it happened. I started to notice the paintings/ pictures all over the place: of the owner... ok, so a bit vane... then it happened! She grabbed a mic and started singing karaoke in the middle of the bar, trying to get the people to clap. People were going along with it too. I was like "wtf" is going on! Is this a circus? Am I about to see people swinging from the ceiling? No. She sang one poorly sung song and that was it. It was completely out of place. One word: major vanity.
Visit 2: The food was the same. We ordered sashimi and got nigiri: not a big deal, just leave the rice off. The bill was way too high for 2 people. It was over $100 pre tip. This is way more than any sushi I have paid for in Northern California.
So my rating system for this one?
One star b/c that's mandatory, one star for the ambience, one star because I'd probably go back simply for the atmosphere... and as long as I'm not sung to karaoke style.
