| - Probably the strangest experience I've had in a sushi restaurant, TBH.
I went on a Saturday night with a friend and went straight to our table. It was definitely busy with a lot of people waiting. Hibachi looked very popular. The poor hostess seemed overworked, confused, and stressed running around trying to fill tables - perhaps a second host would have helped. We could hear a female staff member yelling at her a few times during our meal which wasn't pleasant. Our server wasn't the friendliest but I didn't mind. He wasn't familiar with one of the rolls we ordered, though, and thought we requested a regular roll without rice instead of the roll wrapped in cucumber. Good thing I corrected him. Our food overall was pretty good - not the best I've ever had, but definitely tasty. My miso soup was a disappointment, as it tasted more like egg drop and didn't have much in it. My friend ordered the salmon ball which was unusual (A mix of avocado, crabmeat, cucumber and fish roe wrapped in seared fresh salmon, topped with spicy mayonnaise and unagi sauce, sprinkled with crunchy tempura bits) but delicious.
Anyway, on to the weird parts:
1) Multiple times during our meal, excruciatingly loud, bass-heavy techno music came over the speakers yelling the following words: "IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY, AND WE WANNA KNOW WHERE YOU AAAARREEEEE!" followed by the staff coming out and clapping. This would've been okay if it only happened once or twice on a busy weekend night, but it happened five times during our meal. Five times. It was so loud that people were definitely getting annoyed by it. My friend and I, full disclosure, are emotionally and mentally approximately 8 years old so to us, the music was about on par with the hilariousness of a fart in public. Once is funny, twice is still funny, after that it's embarrassing. I went to the bathroom and could hear the music and it was as if I were in a night club.
2) Our sushi had an LED component to it. Not kidding. It was lit. I wish I'd saved my snapchat of it, because it was kind of hilariously tacky. Our Bonsai roll came with a pile of clear noodles with a small LED light underneath. It looked like a light up toy was accidentally placed on our plate.
I think the surreal weird details aside, I enjoyed the meal. I don't know that it was the best sushi I've ever had, but I'd probably go back and pretend it was someone's birthday for the music.
