This was quite a strange experience and calling it "Japanese" is more than a stretch. Its a cross between an Asian place pretending to be Japanese and a nightclub (and the music doesnt match what you would expect to hear at a sushi place....even if it was more night-clubby). The food was subpar as well, including the freshness of the sashimi and sushi which is REALLY IMPORTANT. Now, this isnt nearly as bad as the "Japanese" place that is located around a 3 minute walk from this place (...people can guess where that is) but having two lame Japanese places so close to each other-- thats just not right.
