| - The fish/food we got was very good. It was fresh and tasted good. The portion size was okay and the prices were decent, although a tad on the high side.
We had yellowtail, salmon, unagi, a mushroom skewer appetizer, cucumber salad, and 3 specialty rolls which were all pretty unique and delicious.
It's always so sad to me to have to rate a restaurant with low stars when the food is good. But I guess service is really an integral part of the overall dining experience and staff can really make or break a review.
Our waitress was off-putting from the moment she sat us. She had quite an attitude and told us that we were not allowed to talk to the sushi chef which is a bit weird when you are sitting at the sushi bar. She also took our menus after we placed our initial order even though we told her that we would be ordering more and then gave us a huge sigh and huffed off to get the menu again when we told her we wanted to order more, but needed to look at the menu again. Sorry...we didn't study and memorize it for your convenience. Geeze. And even though we were dining early and the restaurant was not very busy, she was more interested in talking to her co-worker than in coming by to check to see if we needed anything.
The sushi chef ended up striking up a convo with us and even though he had very broken English, he was a delightful person and made us feel at home. Had it not been for him and his assistant, who made every plate we were served a beautiful piece of art, the overall stars would have been even lower.
So, to sum up:
Food - solid 4 stars
Service (with the exception of the sushi chef and his asst) - 1 star, maybe
