So I'm not sure why this place has high remarks, but hey maybe I have high expectations or don't know what I'm talking out.
So first off, this place was impossible to find, I should of taken it as a sign to eat else where when I walked past it the first 2 times but I was craving sushi and determined to get my fix.
Once inside the I was shocked how small it was but I didn't mind because I enjoy cozy spaces only it wasn't very much cozy.
There was a larger party of about 8-9 ppl that was just finishing up and one person at the bar. Me and my fiancé causally sat our selves as instructed at one of the nearby booths. Immediately my eyes met some sticky spots on the floor and wall. The tables were clean though and we were quickly asked our drinks.
After ordering drinks I decided on a salmon maki roll (can't remember the name), some pieces of salmon and tuna nigiri, a cup of miso soup, and a spring roll. My fiancé ordered Kung PO shrimp and a Stella to drink. My miso soup came out flavorful and spring roll crisp and delicious. My entree' however, could of been better. My maki rolls were blah. I went to reach over for some soy sauce and they both, the regular and low sodium was near empty. I then when and tried my nigiri pieces and they didn't taste as fresh as I expected. I looked over and asked my fiancé how his food tasted and he replied it was lacking flavor, and disappointed by the small portion. Let just say we were not impressed.
We were now the only ppl in the store other than the guy at the bar. With that being said it took our waitress a expected to get our checks and payment taken care of. Meanwhile the party's used dishes from earlier still sat on the table.. A good 15 mins had passed since they had left.. Maybe everyone was on break?
Overall not a great dining out experience from the service to the ambiance and food. Maybe they were having an off night or that they are just another overrated uptown restaurant.
