| - I just can't give this place more than 1 star...
So we came here because it is right down the street, noticed they opened a few months ago and decided to give it a shot. I knew it was a bad idea as soon as we walked in when we were hit with a smell of paint(?), I don't even know. What I do know is that it wasn't pleasant.
But, we figured they did open a few months ago, maybe they're still getting everything in order.
The place was pretty empty (only one other couple there) so I figured we would at least have decent service. Not so much. The entire 3 people on the staff were super nice, but I have to agree with another review in saying I really don't think any of them had any experience in serving or restaurant back ground. Waited for quite some time (10ish minutes) before the young waiter even came to get a drink order, of which he only brought half of. We both ordered hot tea and water, had to ask twice for the water. The rest of his service was consistently below par the entire time... I did mention there was only 1 other couple in there... The whole time we were there. But, again, they were super nice.
Now to the food... meh. The crunchy rice appetizers were the best thing that we ate... the rest was below average sushi.. About the same quality that I get next door at Smith. The miso soup was SUPER salty.. The rice on everything was dry, and the quality of the fish can again be compared to what you can buy next door. The two main rolls we ordered stated that they came with different sauces, when we got the rolls, they were dry. When we asked, the chef said that he put the sauce inside the roll, & sent over the sauces that were supposed to be "in" them in ramekins. After splitting the first roll with my hubby, I was pretty much done.
Definitely won't be back, & unfortunately, this place seems to have a curse on it. I have lived in this neighborhood for over 5 years now, & this is the 3rd restaurant in its place, last two were Italian food, all have been way off the mark.
