You know, it may just be that I had a bad experience the other day here; but Uptown let me down last week.
The reasons are simple, and unfortunately, like interest you don't want to pay, compounded. The sushi wasn't as good as I have had in the past here, they missed my miso soup; which I was really looking forward to; the rice wasn't cooked all the way through on anything, the sushi didn't taste as fresh as I would have liked, and it took 45 minutes to make one lunch special (which consisted of 2 California rolls, 5 pieces of nigiri and one miso soup.)
I'm sorry Uptown, but you've got to up your game.
