However, what really happens is you wait outside for a very long time because for some reason the restaurant is really popular. Once seated you write down what you want and the ticket gets picked up. The first round of food is fairly quick. There is nothing really unique on the menu; it's rather generic. We struggled to find the "Thai" aspect; maybe their definition of Thai is different from ours. It's really a sushi/Japanese place. The achieved stars are for the freshness of the fish. The sashimi was butter soft. The rice dishes were meh and anything with chicken/beef was drowned in super sweet sauce... also meh and kinda gross.
Portions are really tiny and this is where the hitch in the process begins. After the first round of food, it is nearly impossible to get anyone's attention: for water, beer, pickup of a new order sheet, the bill, etc. We sat for 45-minutes after the first round of food and got plenty of "be there in a second" call outs but no actual attention. After the second round of food we could get no one's attention. The people at the table next to us said, "don't even try." They had exceeded the 90-minute cap and barely ate any food; they had a "$29 piece of sushi" on the table because they'd mis-understood the ordering process. We had difficulty getting someone's attention for the bill once our 90-minute limit had passed.
I guess the catch is you need to order TONS and TONS of food on the first round with the expectation that the servers will never come back. BLANKET ORDER EVERYTHING.
The thing that pissed me off the most is that the entire meal cost $66 for two people and we barely ate any food; it's a complete rip off. I've eaten in other sushi places around Crowfoot where the quality of food is better, the quantities don't leave you hungry, and the price is reasonable.
Honestly, I can't fathom why this place is so popular. I miss the restaurant that used to be there: Aioli. And, to add insult to injury, the new restaurant moved in without changing the decor -- so it basically looks like Aioli (motivational statements and all)... but with crappy service/food. We won't be back.
