| - I don't know if Sushi J has changed owners, I went on an off night god knows what happened during my disastrous visit but I can tell you is that I will never ever visit this place again.
I came here after a fellow yelp buddy recommended it, who is like me, a fan of traditional Japanese no frills just great fresh fish sushi and after reading a ton of great reviews (and seeing some insane pictures) I thought this was going to be a great evening. Wrong!
I walked in, and asked to be seated at the sushi bar... They were busy but not insanely busy. My waiter (who was the only saving grace of this evening) came over and asked me what I wanted to drink, I ordered some sake and asked him if I could do an omakase meal he said absolutely and he spoke to the sushi chef, I told my waiter and the chef that I eat everything and prefer more traditional style sushi. The chef then tells me he will make me a great roll - I should have known right then that this wasn't going to end well. I clarify to him that I do more nigiri sushi, sashimi and wanted like ebi, uni etc. He says ok ok....
I wait for what seems like forever, I am then served my first dish... Two pieces of salmon sashimi wrapped around KRAB with spicy mayo and avocado on top and two pieces of tuna belly nigiri.... Ummmmm, no. I call over my waiter and politely say that this isn't really what I was wanting, that I don't eat krab and that I had asked for whatever was fresh.
My waiter, bless him... gets me a new sushi chef, I move closer to them. There was obviously ZERO communication between the chefs or my waiter and my new chef because after waiting about 15 minutes for my next plate, I was served nearly an identical plate of two tuna nigiri and salmon sashimi. After I receive that plate the sushi chef asks me if I was done. While I was eating my mediocre sushi, I saw my sushi chef take out a VACCUM SEALED BAG OF TUNA, that was enough to take my appetite away. I told the chef that I was done and I just wanted my bill. I explained to her that I had driven 30 minutes in the rain that evening to try their place out after hearing great things and that I was frustrated that I was served basically the same thing twice. I arrived at 6:40 and left at 7:35 with two courses, beyond upset and frustrated.
The manager/owner came over as I was waiting to sign my bill, apologized profusely, gave me a hug and you could tell she felt bad and gave me a coupon for 10.00 off a future visit, she didn't charge me for one order of the sushi and took 15% off my bill.
I appreciate them going to great lengths to try and rectify the situation but things went so bad that I don't think there is any way I could ever look past the faults of the evening, and the whole tuna vacuumed sealed in a bag... ick
I am borderline 1.5-2.0 stars for this place based on my experience. I would assume if you are looking for more traditional sushi this would be a great spot for you, but if you're like me and you want traditional sushi your better off elsewhere.
