| - After being a regular here several times a week for two years, I'm sorry to say I believe I just had my last visit.
Several months ago they got rid of the real sushi chefs and replaced them with guys in T-shirts who don't greet you or even smile while you're there. Several times I've been seated at dirty tables and today was no exception (something that looked like snot I swear) and my dish was dirty as well with a huge chip missing. The front door mat is always filthy, one of the toilets or sinks is always broken in the ladies room, the staff is mostly apathetic and ever-changing, and the place seems to have no "adult" supervision.
But in the past I've overlooked these matters because the sushi was actually quite good. Not anymore. Once or twice before today, I received some salmon that just did not seem on par with previous visits. But today, I got some that was definitely not good. I discreetly spit it in my napkin and went up to sushi bar and quietly told them what was wrong. With no apology they said they would cut me a different piece. The new piece tasted great, so I think they were trying to move some older fish. I'm seriously concerned about food safety at this place now.
Half of the staff there today knew this happened, and they know I'm a regular, and I was very nice about it, yet no one offered to really make this right or at least take something small off my bill or offer me a drink etc. Something!!
This place does not have a lot going for it anymore except its location. It's really sad that they just don't seem to care and don't offer the service that people expect these days. I don't need five star service, or even five star food. I'm at the Quarter a lot and I'm just looking for somewhere consistent with good food and good service, and my business is worth thousands of dollars a year. There's too much competition for them to be downgrading their fish, letting things get dirty, and ignoring some of their best customers. Every time I go here the place seems more and more empty. But they don't seem to be learning their lesson.
I don't think they'll be around much longer.
