| - Yep I got dinner out on Mother's Day. However it was around 7:45 and I figured we may miss the crowds. We came in right after a huge party. I've been here a few times and this was the busiest I've ever seen it. There were only two other people in the non-hibachi side.
Started off not great: My hot tea tasted like typical black tea with coffee - gross. Ordered an appetizer and four rolls. My Spicy Tuna showed up first, followed by another roll a few minutes later. After at least 5 minutes, a third roll arrived. We had finished two rolls before the appetizer arrived (for what it's worth, it was the appetizer combo - a crab roll, an egg roll, and two pieces of yakitori). A few minutes after the appetizer we got the last roll. I should note there was no explanation, only after we asked were we told "a few more minutes". Luckily we were sharing rolls (had to ask for plates), which the waitress didn't seem to know - so it seems like it's even more rude to give me my rolls first.
The sushi was good enough but not great at all. The White Tiger was actually kind of gross and didn't stay together well. The Spicy Tuna was good and the Rainbow Roll was the best out of the bunch (but still not the best I've had in Cleveland). However the menu mentioned buy one roll get one half off on Wednesday and Sunday (fried rolls not included), so for a deal I don't need impressive sushi. The appetizer wasn't that great. The chicken was tender but neither of the rolls were very good at all.
The weird order of our food arriving was annoying but not a deal breaker. Another weird thing was the employees hanging out watching tv and eating in the dining area. At any given time there were between two and four employees there. Two of the employees appeared to maybe be off work since they only got up to get refills of the beverages. I was a waitress and a bartender for a while and never allowed to do that (at one place if I wanted to stay after my shift I had to change my shirt). Also, the waitress wasn't terrible but not that great (for example, when I complained about the tea tasting weird she said, "Well I guess I could make you another pot...." and when I said no thanks, she started to walk away. Um, can I get another beverage? I got a replacement beverage, but then couldn't find the waitress when I wanted a refill). Again, none of these things are deal breakers - just made for a very weird dining experience.
Our bill came (with the aforementioned deal listed at the bottom) but no 1/2 price rolls. Huh? I inquired because no where was it listed holidays were excluded. The waitress went to check and said today didn't count because it was Mother's Day (maybe they should indicate that holidays aren't included). Sorry but that's a huge downer to me. While I like that this place is not far from where I live, Wasabi is under 2 miles (probably closer to 1) away and has superior service and sushi. I've found that Sushi Rock and Pacific East are better. In the end, minus tip, the total was $72 and completely NOT worth that. At all.
