I have lived in the area of this place for some time and can say that I have seen it's appeal drop. There are less people and the food is just ok. Even the ambiance of the place is muted from what I remember in the past.
Had dinner on a Wednesday night and the place was not very busy. I agree with a prior review that the weeknight crew must not be the A team. There did not seem to be any urgency from anyone.
Our dinner was just that... an average dinner that I would have or could have prepared at home. No spectacular or overly fresh ingredients or even tastes that I could have said were awesome.
My sushi was un-inspired and well... just ok. The fish was not sashimi quality or fresh from the freezer. My selection turned out to be a small rainbow roll on a really big plate. If anything the plate selection promoted my feeling of disappointment in the size of the roll.
I really did not understand the approach for the vegetable tempura. It must have been the creation of a chef on a limited budget. Think cut vegetables from a bag pressed into a box form, battered, deep fried, and sliced. I actually wondered what they used for tempura batter and it was over cooked and dripping with oil.
